AMPLIFIER CONSIDERATIONS

Turbosound speaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for professional use. Such amplifiers will have balanced inputs, DC and RF fault protection, and well designed cooling systems for reliability.

The program power listed in the loudspeaker’s technical specification is the best guide to the size of amplifier required for general purpose applications. The amplifier should therefore be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to the loudspeaker’s program power rating at the loudspeaker’s stated nominal impedance. This approach allows sufficient headroom to generate good dynamic range.

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER RATINGS:

The amplifier's rated r.m.s. continuous power output (20Hz20kHz,

per channel) should be equal to the program power handling of the

loudspeaker at its nominal impedance.

In general, the more powerful the amplifier the better it will sound, provided that it is not driven into sustained clipping. It should be understood that overdriving an insufficiently powered amplifier is more likely to cause loudspeaker damage—the total energy in a heavily clipped signal is far higher than in an unclipped signal—than operating a more powerful amplifier within its specified ratings.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The Impact 50 is provided with a recessed connector panel housing a pair of colour–coded, spring–loaded push terminals. These are used for input and loop– out connections to further Impact 50 enclosures. Note that looping out to additional enclosures has the effect of reducing the total load impedance on the amplifier. For example, two 16 ohm cabinets in parallel give a combined total impedance of 8 ohms. It is possible to connect four Impact 50 cabinets in parallel to one amplifier channel, providing that amplifier is capable of delivering long term power output into 4 ohms. Never connect loudspeakers to a power amplifier whose total combined impedance is lower than the amplifier’s recommended minimum load impedance.

50, 50T specifications

Turbosound, a brand synonymous with professional audio excellence, has made significant strides with its 50T and 50 loudspeakers. Designed for versatility in various sound reinforcement applications, these models exemplify superior audio quality, advanced technologies, and user-friendly design.

The Turbosound 50T and 50 are compact two-way loudspeakers, ideally suited for both portable and permanent installations. One of their standout features is the lightweight yet durable construction, making them easy to transport and install. The cabinets are engineered from high-quality wood, providing excellent acoustic performance while ensuring resilience against environmental factors.

At the heart of the 50T and 50 loudspeakers is a robust power handling capacity, which allows them to generate high output levels without distortion. This is achieved through advanced driver technology, including a custom-designed 12-inch low-frequency driver and a high-frequency compression driver. This combination ensures a wide frequency response, delivering clear highs and deep, resonant lows that can fill both small and large venues with immersive sound.

The loudspeakers are also equipped with a highly efficient passive crossover network, which enhances their overall performance by ensuring seamless integration between the low and high-frequency drivers. This technology ensures that the audio signal is distributed evenly across the frequency spectrum, resulting in pristine sound reproduction.

Another key characteristic of the Turbosound 50T and 50 is their versatile connectivity options. Equipped with Neutrik connectors, users can easily connect to various audio sources, making these speakers compatible with a wide range of sound systems. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for event organizers and sound engineers, allowing for seamless integration into existing setups.

In addition to their audio fidelity, aesthetics also play a role in their design. The loudspeakers feature a sleek, modern look that can fit into any environment, whether it be a concert hall, mobile stage, or corporate event. The integrated rigging points provide additional options for suspended installations, ensuring that they deliver optimal sound coverage.

In conclusion, the Turbosound 50T and 50 loudspeakers stand out in the professional audio market for their combination of performance, innovative technology, and practical design. Whether used for live events, installations, or public speaking, these speakers will consistently deliver powerful, high-quality sound that meets the demanding needs of today’s audio professionals.
