The new TCS series is Turbosound's most innovative range of sound contracting loudspeakers to date. Loaded with advanced acoustics technology, the range is packed with features that are designed to make your job easier.The TCS series is the first choice for all kinds of permanent installations ranging from small cafes and bars, through houses of worship, nightclubs and live music venues up to large stadium projects.

Comprising a range of 19 individual products, the TCS series incorporates core technologies developed for Turbosound flagship concert touring loudspeakers, giving you the benefit our our latest design innovations in a permanently installed sound system.

Dendritic hornThe Dendritic waveguide offers the superior array performance system required for multi-cabinet clusters, and features prominently in TCS series two-way models. In order to ensure consistent frequency, phase and time response at the horn throat, the output from the compression driver exit is divided by two repeatedly to make sure that all the path lengths to the horn mouth are equal.

Converging Elliptical WaveguideThe Converging Elliptical Waveguide (CEW™) delivers optimum dispersion from a small cabinet. The horn is quite shallow, in order to allow both high frequency and low frequency drivers to be physically aligned, and it is also wide to provide good coverage over a large area. The result is well balanced, phase-coherent sound for all the audience.

Rotatable dispersion patternRotatable waveguides allow the loudspeaker's coverage pattern to be adapted to suit the shape of the room or audience space, and they are easily rotated within the cabinet in minutes. Waveguides for the TCS-122 and TCS-152 are available in three factory-supplied dispersion options: 90°h x 60°v, 90°h x 40°v and 60°h x 40°v for complete flexibility.

Rigging optionsMultiple rigging options are provided to allow a wide choice of rigging methods: ranging from simple eyebolt suspension, wall and ceiling brackets; downfill brackets; and kits of inter-locking flyplates and couplers for assembling visually discreet loudspeaker clusters. The trapezoidal and double trapezoidal cabinet shape (except TCS-B218) ensures that the external flying hardware is virtually invisible.

Chioce of paint finishBlack or white durable textured paint finishes are standard, while custom colours can be ordered to match a supplied RAL colour reference. IP54 options are also available on all non-powered models for use outdoors and in humid conditions.
