Turbosound TCS-B218(DP) Wall and ceiling brackets, Downfill Applications, Vertical Arrays

Quick Start Guide

TCS series

Wall and ceiling brackets

To install a loudspeaker using Turbosound wall and ceiling brackets, first separate the brackets into their wall/ceiling plate and speaker plate component parts. Remove the countersunk bolts on the rear panel of the cabinet. Attach the speaker plate to the cabinet with the bolts supplied. Fix the wall/ceiling plate in the venue using appropriate fixings (not supplied). Lift the loudspeaker on to the wall plate and re-assemble the bracket parts, adjust the vertical angle and tighten all bolts.

Downfill Applications

The TCS-61 can be tight-packed underneath TCS-122 or TCS-152 cabinets to provide downfill coverage using the SB-61 swivel bracket. First disassemble the swivel bracket into its component parts. Remove the countersunk bolts from the bottom panel of the TCS-122/152 cabinet and fit the section with the elongated holes using the fixings supplied. Remove the countersunk bolts on the top panel and fit the swivel bracket using the supplied fixings. Re- assemble the swivel bracket, angle as appropriate and tighten all fixings.

To use the SB-61 in a ceiling-mount application, separate the component parts as above, fix the top section to the ceiling with appropriate fixings (not

supplied). Fit the other half to the cabinet, re-assemble the bracket, angle as appropriate and tighten all fixings.

Vertical Arrays

An array of two or more cabinets requires the use of flyplates and inter-cabinet couplers, which are assembled together in a ‘daisy chain’ fashion to build up the required array. These are supplied as kits including appropriate fixings:

07G0335 FP-1 KIT kit of two FP-1 flyplates (one left, one right) for TCS-122 or TCS-152 mid/highs

07G0340 FP-2 KIT kit of two FP-2 flyplates (one left, one right) for TCS-B15A or TCS-B15B subs

IMPORTANT NOTE: The rigging of a flown sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks. Fixing of hanging points in a roof should always be carried out by a professional rigger and in accordance with the local rules of the venue. Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The rigging accessory used must be safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.

When mounting rigging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in accordance with the maker’s instructions.

Rotating the HF horn pattern

The high frequency horn in all TCS-122 and TCS-152 models can be rotated through 90° in order to swap the horizontal and vertical dispersion patterns, particularly useful when assembling clusters or for example to retain the original dispersion when the cabinet is installed in a horizontal orientation.

1.Place the cabinet on its back on a suitable work surface. Remove the four pan-head posidrive screws that hold the grille in place and set the grille aside (fig 1).

2.Remove the bass driver and horn fixings screws (fig 2).

3.Disconnect and remove the bass driver, making a note of the polarity for later reconnection (fig 3).
