user manual TCS Compact series System Considerations Choosing the best location When using any loudspeaker system certain room parameters will affect the resultant sound quality and coverage. For example, any boundary like a wall or floor will lift certain frequencies. If you are placing speakers in a corner, then a lift at the bass end is to be expected and it may sound rather ‘boomy’. This can be compensated for by moving the speaker or cutting low frequencies with an equaliser.

user manual TCS Compact series Calculating the sound pressure level at a known distance from the PA Sound intensity reduces rapidly as the distance from the source increases according to the inverse square law which, predicts that a doubling of distance will result in a reduction of ¼ the original, equal to a drop of 6dB, providing there are no reflections or reverberation. For every 3dB increase of speaker output you need a doubling of input power. For example, in an open space where

user manual TCS Compact series Amplifier Requirements Turbosound loudspeaker 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 be capable

user manual TCS Compact series System Configurations TCS Compact Series 2-way enclosures 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 being accomplished by the internal passive crossover network in each enclosure. If subwoofers are used in a bi- amplified system in conjunction with TCS Compact Series 2-way enclosures, additional amplif

user manual TCS Compact series System 2 – Stereo with bass units and Active Crossover MID/HI FROM MIXER L R LEFT EQ BASS POWER AMPLIFIERS LMS-D24 MID/HI RIGHT BASS In this case a crossover is needed to separate the bass and mid / high frequencies. The Turbosound LMS series is recommended as the units are preconfigured with presets to match the TCS Compact series requirements. This system can be scaled up with the addition of further amplifiers and processors. If using the LMS-D26 p

user manual TCS Compact series Crossovers and Processors In order to correctly set up your sound system a selection of audio processing devices are necessary to divide the frequencies between the speakers, apply equalisation and limit the dynamic headroom. These duties can be performed by proprietary units such as standalone crossovers, graphic equalisers and limiters, and a TCS Compact series installation can be built in this way by paying careful attention to details such as appropri
