LMS-D24/6 Quick Reference Set Up

(LMS-D26 shown)

The LMS-D24 and LMS-D26 are designed for quick setup and adjustment via an easy-to- use menu structure accessed by front panel buttons and 3 rotary encoders. A high resolution backlit LCD display provides the user interface to the menu options and parameters being adjusted.

Input Signal Indicators - three pairs of LED’s indicate signal present, +4dBu and input clip for both channels. The signal present LED’s operate at approximately –40dBu, giving a useful indication of even relatively low input signal levels. The +4dBu LED’s are intended to show nominal operating level and can also be useful for setting system gain structure. Clip LEDs warn the user of input overload and operate at +19dBu.

Starting up

The unit will energise as soon as power is applied to the IEC inlet; there is no power switch. During the start up process the firmware application model number and version numbers are displayed and the outputs are muted until the unit has completed its internal checks. Once the start-up routines are complete and the unit is ready to pass audio, the DSP signal path will be restored to the current settings when it was last powered down and the audio signal is gradually ramped up to its correct level. At this stage the display shows the default screen with the memory location and name of the current Preset on the lower line of text.

About Presets

The unit has 45 memory locations and there is a library of around thirty ‘Factory’ Presets to suit a range of Turbosound enclosures. Factory Presets are locked so they cannot be over-written although edited versions can be stored in the free preset locations. Details of all the Factory Presets can be found in Appendix A in the LMSD2x pdf in the downloads section of www.turbosound.com.

Factory Presets contain some parameters that are fixed and hidden from view; typically crossover frequencies, output delay and some EQs; those settings that are a function of the loudspeaker cabinet design and should not require adjustment for different applications. The number and type of hidden parameters is dependant on the Factory Preset. The remainder of the DSP parameters are available for user manipulation.

TCS COMPACT SERIES specifications

The Turbosound TCS Compact Series represents a significant evolution in compact sound reinforcement solutions, offering exceptional audio quality and versatile applications for both live sound and permanent installations. With a focus on performance and portability, the TCS series is designed to meet the demands of various environments, from concert halls to corporate events.

One of the standout features of the TCS Compact Series is its innovative design, which combines advanced acoustical engineering with cutting-edge materials. The cabinets are constructed from high-grade plywood, providing robustness while still being lightweight, making transport and setup effortless. The series includes both full-range models and dedicated subwoofers, allowing users to create customized sound systems tailored to their specific needs.

The TCS Series employs a proprietary waveguide technology that ensures a wide and even dispersion of sound, resulting in a consistent audio experience across a wide listening area. This feature is particularly beneficial in large venues where audience members may be located at varying distances from the stage.

Another notable technology integrated into the TCS Compact Series is the use of high-performance transducers. These drivers are engineered for optimum efficiency and clarity, delivering powerful low frequencies and crisp highs. The subwoofers are specifically designed to complement the full-range units, providing a deep bass response that enhances the overall sound quality of any performance.

The TCS series also features advanced rigging options, allowing for flexible deployment configurations. Whether flown in an array or positioned on the ground, the cabinets can be easily adapted to suit the venue's acoustics. This versatility makes them an ideal choice for both temporary setups and permanent installations.

Connectivity is another area where the TCS Compact Series excels. With a range of input and output options, including high-quality connectors, users can seamlessly integrate the systems with various mixing consoles and audio sources.

In summary, the Turbosound TCS Compact Series is a powerful, versatile, and durable solution for audio professionals seeking high-quality sound reinforcement. Its combination of innovative design, advanced technologies, and user-friendly features positions it as a go-to choice for live sound engineers and installation specialists alike. Whether for touring acts, corporate events, or fixed installations, the TCS series delivers exceptional performance you can rely on.
