LMS-D24/D26 Audio Connections

Audio Input connectors

These are fully balanced and are wired pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold. The two inputs have pin 1 connected directly to the chassis and feed the signal processing chains. If an unbalanced source is used, a connection should be made between the pin 3 ‘cold’ signal and the ground connection of the unbalanced source.

Audio Output connectors

The processed outputs are impedance balanced, and are wired pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold. An unbalanced input may be driven by connecting pin 3 ‘cold’ signal to the ground connection of the unbalanced destination input. Note that output pins 1 are ground lifted at audio frequencies but connected to ground at RF for good EMC performance. The intention being that the amplifiers the processor is driving should be responsible for the grounding of their input cable shields.

Presets and Secure mode

A momentary button is fitted on the rear panel, between the output XLRs and the RS232 port. When activated, this will disable all the front panel controls so they cannot affect the signal path, making the unit secure against tampering. When in secure mode, the indicators still operate normally however; Presets cannot be stored or recalled. If the unit is not responding then check that Secure Mode is not active.

Note that the communications port is still active in secure mode.

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.
