TA-880

Power Amplifiers

In addition to the Turbosound T-25 and T-45 model amplifiers supplied with turnkey 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-D6 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

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.

Neodymium magnets are used throughout all drive units. This results in higher efficiency, less power compression and reduced overall weight.

Low-mid frequency drivers are designed to be rear-facing in the enclosure, enabling the heatsink / phase plug to be placed in the air flow to aid cooling.
