Introduction

This section is provided with the aim of assisting sound engineers, installers and consultants to fully understand Turbosound Loudspeaker Management Systems, and to obtain the full benefit of their capabilities.

The LMS-D6, LMS-D26 and LMS-D24 are recommended for use with Aspect loudspeaker systems, offering varying features and facilities depending on the specific application.

Unpacking

As part of Turbosound's system of quality control, the product is carefully checked before packing, to ensure flawless appearance. After unpacking the unit, please inspect for any physical damage. If any damage has occurred, please notify your dealer immediately, so that a written claim for damages can be initiated. You, the consignee, must instigate any claim. Please retain all packaging in case of future re-shipment.

There will be a small packet of spare fuses with the unit. Please keep them in a safe place.

Mechanical Installation

A vertical rack space of 1U (44mm / 1.75") is required for each unit. If used in a mobile or transportable system, the unit must be supported at the rear by additional bracing or shelving, to prevent vibration-induced metal fatigue of the racking ‘ears’. Failure to do this will impair reliability and invalidate the Warranty. The rack casing will need a depth of 425mm (minimum) to clear the connectors.

Adequate ventilation must be provided by allowing sufficient room around the sides and rear of the unit to permit free circulation of air. Forced cooling is not required, a factor which aids component longevity. The front of the unit should not be exposed to long term direct sunlight as this can have a detrimental effect on the display lens.

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.
