Power Amplifiers

In addition to the Turbosound T-25 and T-45 model amplifiers recommended for use with Aspect systems, the following other power amplifier brands provide sufficient performance and mechanical compatibility to perform well with Aspect loudspeaker systems:

•MC2 E series

•Lab Gruppen FP series

•Crest Pro series

•QSC Powerlight II series

Digital Controllers

In addition to the Turbosound LMS-D24 and LMS-D26 loudspeaker management systems, the following digital crossovers have been tested and are recommended for use with Aspect systems:

•BSS FDS366

•XTA 224. 226 and 428

•Dolby Lake Contour and Dolby Lake controller

Self-powered Loudspeakers

Aspect TA-500 series cabinets are additionally available with integrated networkable Class D amplifier modules, taking consistent performance and ease of use to a new level. Featuring lightweight high-power amplifiers using 96kHz DSP and operating at better than 90% efficiency, self-powered TA-500 products eliminate the need for separate amplifier racks and controllers, as well as the attendant cabling. Powered loudspeakers can be controlled and monitored over a network with a PC running the TurboDrive™ software.

Aspect Loudspeaker Components

All the drive units have been designed in-house specifically for the Aspect system and are manufactured exclusively for Turbosound. This means that they are expressly suited to their intended purpose, and make use of innovative features to ensure premium performance.
