user manual TXD series SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS TXD series enclosures (with the exception of the TXD-252 and TXD-15M) are passive loudspeaker systems. This means that they require only one amplifier channel for correct operation, the frequency splitting between the low frequency driver and the high frequency driver or mid and high frequency driver being accomplished by the internal passive crossover network built into each enclosure. If low frequency enclosures are used to extend low frequenc

user manual TXD series Bi-amplified operation TXD series two-way loudspeakers can also be operated in bi-amplified mode together with any of the available bass enclosures, in order to give enhanced audio performance and greater overall sound pressure level. In this case one amplifier will power the full range loudspeakers, while another is required to power the bass cabinets. An external 2-in, 4-out crossover, such as the LMS- D4 digital loudspeaker management system, is required with a cr

user manual TXD series Amplifier considerations Turbosound speaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use. Such amplifiers will have balanced inputs, DC and RF fault protection, and well-designed cooling systems for reliability. The program power listed in the loudspeaker’s technical specification is the best guide to the size of amplifier required for general-purpose applications. The amplifier should therefore be capable of deli

user manual TXD series Dispersion TXD series enclosures are designed to provide relatively wide (70 °) horizontal coverage. This allows the majority of live sound applications to be covered with single enclosures placed individually to take advantage of this performance feature, for example either side of a stage in a pub or small club environment as shown below. For best results the loudspeakers should be either mounted on tripod stands or supported on straight poles on top of TXD series
