Amplifier Considerations

Turbosound ceiling speakers should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use. Amplifiers should be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to the loudspeaker’s program power rating at the stated nominal impedance. Always operate your power amplifiers at maximum gain for the best headroom and signal/noise ratio, controlling the overall system volume from the mixing console. The use of under-powered amplifiers must be avoided as heavily clipped signals can cause permanent loudspeaker damage.

In a distributed system the amplifiers must be capable of supplying broadband power equivalent to the sum of the power rating of the loudspeakers (taking into account the individual power taps selected) connected to that particular amplifier channel.

Installation Procedure

1. Cut a hole in the ceiling tile using a circular cutter set the size listed below and pull the wiring through the hole.

TCS-C35T cut-out diameter is 215mm

TCS-C50T cut-out diameter is 240mm

2.Connect the wiring to the removable connector. A 4-way Phoenix-style connector is supplied with the loudspeaker. Strip the insulation back by 5mm (3/16”), insert the bare ends of the wire into the connector (do not tin the wire) and screw down the hold-down screw with a small flat blade

screwdriver.

3.There are two possible connection strategies, depending on the desired circuit result when a single unit is disconnected for trouble shooting or servicing:

Parallel Input Terminals. This allows the circuit to remain intact whenever a speaker is disconnected. Connect the outgoing pair of wires to the same terminals as the incoming pair of wires.

TCS-C35T specifications

The Turbosound TCS-C35T is a cutting-edge ceiling loudspeaker designed for a variety of professional audio applications. It is particularly renowned for its versatility, superior sound quality, and refined aesthetics, making it suitable for venues such as restaurants, bars, corporate offices, and retail environments. This loudspeaker delivers consistent audio performance, ensuring that every word and note is heard clearly throughout the space.

One of the most notable features of the TCS-C35T is its three-way design, which incorporates a 15-inch low-frequency driver, a 6.5-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch high-frequency driver. This configuration allows for an extended frequency response, providing deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. The loudspeaker’s high sensitivity ensures that it delivers powerful sound even in larger spaces, making it a best-in-class option for both background and foreground music as well as speech reinforcement.

The TCS-C35T utilizes Turbosound’s proprietary Waveguide Technology, which optimizes the dispersion of sound across the listening area. This technology helps to create a wide and even sound field, allowing for excellent intelligibility, even in challenging acoustic environments. Additionally, the system includes an optional integration with Turbosound’s dedicated processing capabilities, ensuring that the audio performance is maximized through tailored equalization and crossover settings.

Installation of the TCS-C35T is straightforward, thanks to its lightweight design and flexible mounting options. The loudspeaker includes a robust backcan that is easy to fit into standard ceiling tiles, along with adjustable clamps that secure it in place. This makes the TCS-C35T an ideal choice for contractors and audio professionals, providing them with a hassle-free installation process.

In terms of aesthetic appeal, the TCS-C35T features a sleek, low-profile design that blends seamlessly into a variety of interior styles. The removable grille can be painted to match the ceiling, allowing for customized installations that do not detract from the venue’s design.

Overall, the Turbosound TCS-C35T stands out as a top performer in the realm of ceiling loudspeakers. With its advanced technologies, robust construction, and exceptional sound quality, it is the perfect choice for those seeking an effective audio solution for both commercial and residential applications.
