Amplifi er Considerations
The TCS series loudspeakers are optimised for use with the TURBOSOUND T series amplifi ers with the LMS series controllers. A full range of DSP settings to suit
any confi guration are provided for download on the TURBOSOUND website. The use of third party amplifi cation and processing is only advised using the matrix of
manual settings as well as the limiter calculator provided on the TURBOSOUND website. The TCS series loudspeaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power
amplifi ers designed for true professional use. Power amplifi ers should be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to half the loudspeaker's peak
power rating at its stated nominal impedance. The use of underpowered amplifi ers must be avoided as heavily clipped signals can cause permanent loudspeaker
damage. Limiters, crossovers and equalisation points must be set in accordance with the settings provided on the TURBOSOUND website. This will ensure the optimum
sound quality and long-term reliability as well as protection from damage.
Neutrik speakON* NL4 locking input connector(s) and 4-way barrier strip(s) are provided, allowing options for input and
link, passive, bi-amp, parallel and discrete operation.
