TA-880

FLYING HARDWARE

The Aspect TA-880 flying system consists as follows:

•Flying swords and safety lynch-pins – support a single cabinet.

•Flying chains – link the top row to flybars.

•Twin bar – supports two vertical columns.

•Triple bar – supports three vertical columns

•Chain bridles for twin and triple bars

The flying system is based around the use of removeable flying swords which pass through slots machined in the enclosure and are held captive by safety linch-pins through holes in the swords, locating into load-rated metal fixings incorporated into the handle boxes. The flying system eliminates the need for costly integral flying hardware, thereby not penalising those users who exclusiv ely ground stack and therefore have no flying requirements.

Horizontal Coverage

Because the Polyhorn’s design dramatically reduces the acoustic energy outside of the specified 25° horizontal dispersion pattern, it is recommended that Aspect TA-880 enclosures always be arrayed in a smooth even curve, resulting in an array angle of 25° between boxes. Based on this assumption it is an easy job to assess how many columns, and therefore which particular combination of flybars, will be needed to achieve the required coverage. The top chains are adjustable to allow the cluster to hang either close to the bar where trim height is critical, or further away when more radical kelp is applied to the columns.

The following table illustrates how many columns of loudspeakers and which flybars should be used to achieve a given horizontal coverage.

The loudspeaker is equipped with dual 18-inch neodymium low-frequency transducers that provide deep, punchy bass and impressive output levels. The high-frequency section is supported by a 3-inch titanium compression driver, delivering crystal-clear highs that ensure speech intelligibility and musical detail, even in large venues.

The TA-880 system employs Turbosound's proprietary Waveguide technology, which enables exceptional dispersion control. This means that the sound reaches the audience evenly, minimizing dead spots and providing a consistent listening experience. The speaker's broad horizontal dispersion pattern allows for wider coverage, making it ideal for various settings, from concert halls to outdoor festivals.

Additionally, the TA-880 features a robust, durable construction that can withstand the rigors of touring and extensive use. Its weather-resistant design makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, ensuring reliability in diverse conditions. The system is also lightweight, facilitating easy transport and setup, allowing sound professionals to focus on delivering exceptional sound rather than wrestling with heavy equipment.

Integration is made seamless with the TA-880 through its compatibility with Turbosound's proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) technology. This innovative feature enables users to fine-tune the system according to specific venue requirements and performance criteria, further elevating sound quality. It also allows for network control, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustments from a single interface.

The TA-880 system is versatile, suitable for a range of applications including concerts, corporate events, and festivals. It can be used as standalone units or as part of a larger array configured for larger venues. Its combination of high output capability, intelligent design, and industry-leading technology makes the Turbosound TA-880 a preferred choice for those who demand excellence in audio performance.

In summary, the Turbosound TA-880 combines advanced driver technology, innovative dispersion solutions, and robust construction, making it an indispensable tool for sound professionals aiming to deliver an unforgettable auditory experience.
