TA-880

Options

The rack is supplied fitted with five amplifiers as standard.

The two top amplifiers are T-25 models, and power the high frequency and high-mid frequency sections respectively. Three mid-high cabinets will normally be powered from each channel, although it is possible to run up to four cabinets for some extreme applications.

The remaining three amplifiers are all T-45 models and power the low-mid frequency and low frequency sections. Two of these T-45 are dedicated to powering the low frequency section, and the rationale behind this is as follows:

The acoustic output and low frequency cut-off of the TA-890L bass cabinets are dependent on the mutual coupling between enclosures, and on the available amplifier power. With systems of less than 12 bass cabinets per side it is recommended that the ratio of bass cabinets to mid-high is 4:3 or higher (depending on program material and musical style). Therefore the provision of an additional low frequency gives considerable flexibility in the configuration of bass cabinets in small to medium sized systems without carrying extra, and separate, power amplifiers. Alternatively it enables the implementation of a five-way system – using subwoofers for extreme LF energy while complementing the fast, accurate bass response available from the TA-890L – from only one type of rack.

Separate adjustment of the levels of left and right sides of the rack is possible on all frequency bands. Furthermore, the returns system includes a fifth way to be used either as a spare line or in conjunction with TSW-218 for large outdoor systems.

Input Connections

As will be seen from the wiring schedule below, the incoming 11 pin Veam socket is connected via the mono/stereo linking connector to the adjacent link-out Veam and to the XLR male cable plugs which connect LF, LMF, HMF and HF feeds to the amplifiers in the rack. In two-channel mode, the second Veam socket becomes the input connector for the second channel.

TA-880 specifications

The Turbosound TA-880 is a high-performance audio solution designed for professional live sound applications. This arrayable large-format loudspeaker system offers remarkable acoustic power, clarity, and reliability, making it a popular choice among sound engineers and event organizers.

One of the standout features of the TA-880 is its advanced driver technology. 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.
