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.
