Loudspeaker Management Systems

The concept of a Loudspeaker Management System is to provide all the processing electronics you might need in one box. This typically includes crossover functions, equalisation, limiters, delays and preset memories, that can store different set ups for various applications. A loudspeaker management system offers better audio quality, more precise control and loudspeaker protection because operating parameters can be precisely matched to the individual loudspeaker components.

Digital processing enables steeper roll-offs through the crossover areas to be designed, allowing more output from the speakers, as they are individually handling more appropriate bandwidths. Also, the addition of delay to the LF signal to match the arrival of the HF can help to make the image more intelligible. Therefore, it is much easier, and more efficient, to manipulate audio digitally in low voltage electronics than in the passive crossover networks found inside speakers.

The NuQ series has a choice of sub bass units (B15 or B18) that are designed to be used actively with the NuQ-8, NuQ-10, NuQ-12 and NuQ-15 mid/top cabinets. The Turbosound LMS-D24 and LMS-D26 loudspeaker management systems contain custom presets for all the NuQ series models along with a world-class audio specification.

Turbosound LMS series loudspeaker management systems

The Turbosound LMS-D24 and LMS-D26 series are powerful DSP-based audio processing units designed for use with Turbosound loudspeaker systems and associated bass enclosures. The functions of multiple conventional products are combined in a compact 1U high 19” rack unit. They offer EQ, both for the room and the drivers, delay to align the wave front, and limiters that can be set for each individual component to ensure against damage and to protect the long term reliability of your speakers.

The LMS-D26 has two inputs and six outputs and the LMS-D24 has two inputs and four outputs, all electronically balanced. The units are configured to provide specific equalisation and crossover points aimed at optimizing the performance of these Turbosound loudspeaker systems. In addition, limiters, delays, eq, gain, polarity, and crossover filter controls are accessible to the user in order to match specific operation environments. The LMS series crossovers are designed for quick setup and adjustment via easy-to use front panel controls and, are ideally suited to both live sound and fixed installation.
