ASPECT TA-890 TURNKEY SYSTEM CONCEPT

Aspect is available as an integrated audio system package, comprising loudspeakers with integral flying hardware, amplifier racks and all necessary drive and control equipment in an extremely compact and manageable form. In addition, the system has been designed to truck pack efficiently and handle easily.

The concept of assembling a system around standardised components ensures absolute compatibility between users, although sufficient flexibility is built into the rack design to allow for varying requirements such as the ratio of bass cabinets to mid-highs, or 4-way or 5- way operation. Aspect systems from different sources may therefore be freely combined without difficulty. This provides owners with a considerable competitive advantage in servicing the requirements of international touring productions, and in co-operating with other Aspect suppliers within the worldwide network.

The controller functions as an electronic loudspeaker management system, comprising a 24dB per octave crossover, with factory preset limiters matched to the power amplifiers, digital time-alignment and electronically balanced inputs and outputs.

A standard Aspect integrated sound system consists of:

•TA-890H mid-high enclosures

•TA-890L low frequency enclosures

•Flybars, adjustable flying chains and flybar trunk

•Loudspeaker break-outs and multi-way extensions

•Multi-way returns system

•LMS-D6 or LMS-D26 system controllers

•AMP-890 ampifier racks with:

oT-45 and T-25 power amplifiers

oThree phase 32A power distribution

OMulti-way and local speaker connections
