TCS Arraying and Rigging
This document explains how TCS loudspeakers can be arrayed and the reasons for the rotatable
horns in some models. The TCS-122 and TCS-152 both feature Turbosound’s unique Dendritic high
frequency waveguide. This can be rotated for two reasons:
1. To allow a single speaker to be mounted horizontally but still retain the wider horizontal
pattern, or
2. To allow two or more speakers of the same to be arrayed with minimal interference

Arraying and Rigging TCS series In this example the TCS-122/94 The HF horns in this horizontal This example shows how the loudspeakers with horns in the array of TCS-122/94 boxes have same coverage pattern as the standard 90° x 40° orientation been rotated to give individually vertical array on the far left can are tight packed vertically 40° horizontal by 90° vertical. The result from a completely horn-to-horn, providing a horizontal coverage patterns add different physical array.

Arraying and Rigging TCS series cabinets where appropriate. Flying multiple cabinets When creating loudspeaker arrays the essential components are a pair of steel flyplates fitted to the sides of each flown cabinet, ensuring that all the rigging is steel-to-steel without any load being taken through the cabinets’ woodwork. Sets of joiners mate with the flyplates to connect one cabinet to the next adjacent cabinet. Following is a summary of the kits required and their component parts.

Arraying and Rigging TCS series ICC-4H KIT 07G0355 A pair of steel inter-cabinet couplers for linking two TCS-B15 subs together. These can be either TCS-B15A or TCS-B15B versions, but in a cluster both subs should the same type. The couplers fit into the recesses in the flyplates and are secured using the M10 bolts and washers that are supplied with the FP-2 flyplate kits. ICC-5H 07G0360 A pair of steel inter-cabinet couplers for linking a TCS-152 cabinet to a TCS- B15B sub.

Arraying and Rigging TCS series SB-61 07G0375 The SB-61 is a swivel bracket used to hang the TCS-61 in standalone applications such as ceiling mounting in bars or clubs, or as an under- balcony fill. It consists of two parts: a ceiling plate and a speaker plate, allowing each part to be fixed individually and then assembled and angled to achieve the desired coverage. The SB-61 can also be used to hang the TCS-61 underneath the wider TCS-152 cabinet, with the facility to alter the d

Arraying and Rigging TCS series This cluster of three TCS-152 cabinets is assembled with FP-1 flyplates and ICC-3H couplers. Again the horns are rotated to 40°h x 90°v, giving combined cluster coverage of 120°h x 90°v. Parts required: 3 x FP-1 kits (6 pcs) 2 x ICC-3H kits (4 pcs) 2 x M10 eyebolts This diagram shows how bass cabinets are combined in an array of TCS-152 cabinets. The mid/highs are fitted with FP-1 flyplates and the TCS-B15B bass cabinets with FP-2 f

Arraying and Rigging TCS series A simple vertical hang of TCS-122 or TCS-152 cabinets with vertical couplers. The cluster is suspended on M10 eyebolts with a third eyebolt for a pull-back attached in the centre of the lower cabinet. Parts required: 1 x ICC-2V kit (2 pcs) 3 x M10 eyebolts The TCS-61 shares the same width dimension as the TCS-122, providing an ideal visually discreet downfill application. The cluster is suspened with M10 eyebolts, with a fu

Arraying and Rigging TCS series Important notes on rigging As with all rigging, the flying of these arrays should only be carried out by a professional rigger. The Turbosound rigging system has been designed and constructed to a high standard of safety, and tested to the most demanding of specifications. In order to ensure the highest safety standards, this information on the assembly and safe use of rigging accessories must be understood and followed. Only use Turbosound recommended ri
