ATHENS TCS122/96-WH

The 2 way full range TCS122/96-WH is a switchable passive/bi-amp 12" 2,400 Watt arrayable loudspeaker system that is ideally suited for a wide range of speech and music sound reinforcement applications. The TCS122/96-WH is designed to work in conjunction with Turbosound loudspeaker management systems, providing optimal FOH performance, as well as off ering considerable flexibility to readily adapt to varying venue requirements. The TCS122/96-WH arrayable loudspeaker features a glass fibre loaded 12" low frequency driver with inside/outside wound coil with low mass voice coil for improved transient response, and a titanium dome 1.4" neodymium motor compression driver mounted on a 90° horizontal by 60° vertical Dendritic waveguide. All drivers are matched with an internal passive crossover network in a reflex-loaded enclosure, and bi-amp mode can be enabled by means of a rear panel switch. The rear panel connector plate carries an industry-standard twist-lock speaker connector and barrier strip connectors for input and link connections to additional enclosures.   Turbosound’s proprietary HF Dendritic waveguide features multiple hornlets with identical path lengths, which are designed to provide a flat constant-phase wavefront with a 90° horizontal by 60° vertical dispersion pattern. When the waveguide is rotated 90° from the standard position, a 60° horizontal by 90° vertical dispersion is achieved, making the TCS122/96-WH ideal for an even broader range of applications.   Finished in a highly durable semi matt white paint, the cabinet is constructed from 15 mm (5⁄8") birch plywood – and includes a rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille backed with reticulated foam. Internal M10 threaded rigging points are provided for suspension in any orientation, or mounting with dedicated brackets – available separately. A dedicated range of fly plates and coupler kits are also available separately for constructing tightly packed custom full-range and subwoofer enclosure arrays for aesthetically pleasing and venue specific coverage requirements.
