TA-880

INTRODUCTION

Turbosound Aspect System Concepts

The TA-880 system is a modular point source loudspeaker system designed to deliver extremely high fidelity audio. The system is easily scaleable from large and medium scale ground-stacked and flown concert touring down to small clubs and events.

The Aspect system concept centres around the exceptional directivity of the patented Polyhorn™ devices employed in the high frequency and high-mid frequency sections of the mid/high enclosure. In contrast to the majority of conventional horns, Polyhorns develop more consistent frequency response across all seats of an auditorium with minimal interference between adjacent enclosures.

The patented Polyhorn™ devices – employed in both the high frequency and high-mid frequency bands – exhibit a sharp cut-off at the edges of the dispersion pattern, making it possible to produce seamless coverage of a venue with minimal destructive interference between elements, however many individual enclosures are deployed in the cluster. The Polyhorn™ devices generate phase-coherent and smoothly-curved wavefronts which match the array curvature, whose centre becomes the virtual point source.

The TA-880H trapezoidal mid/high enclosure forms the main component of ground-stacked or flown arrays. It can also be employed as a front or side fill cabinet. The TA-880HM high- mid enclosure and TA-880LM low-mid enclosure are available for use in specific fill applications to cover near-field audience areas such as downfills or front-of-stage fills. The TA-880L low frequency enclosure is designed to be ground stacked in bass arrays as well as providing ground support for TA-880 enclosures.

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.
