user manual TA-880 INTRODUCTION Turbosound Aspect System Concepts The TA-880 system is a modular point source loudspeaker system designed to deliver extremely high fidelity audio. The system is easily scaleable from large and medium scale ground-stacked and flown concert touring down to small clubs and events. The Aspect system concept centres around the exceptional directivity of the patented Polyhorn™ devices employed in the high frequency and high-mid frequency sections of the mi

user manual TA-880 The Aspect Polyhorn™ Concept The patented Polyhorn™ design effectively solves the problem of the tendency for exponential horns to beam with increasing frequency. Dividing the multi-cellular horn into multiple tapered waveguides guarantees that the path length of each micro-horn is equal from the surface of the driver diaphragm to the horn mouth, and ensures that all frequencies from all parts of the diaphragm arrive at the horn mouth together. This provides the wavefr

user manual TA-880 The Loudspeaker Management System (LMS) Concept Turbosound Loudspeaker Management Systems are more than just electronic crossovers. As well as steep slope active filters and high performance limiters, they provide full digital alignment of all components in the Aspect enclosures, to ensure a coherent acoustic output. They also incorporates a number of features which contribute to overall system reliability and ease of setting-up and use. All system parameters such as

user manual TA-880 TA-880L Low Frequency Enclosure The TA-880L low frequency enclosure covers the low frequency range from 40Hz up to 100Hz. It contains two very high power 15" neodymium drive units loaded with TurboBass ™ devices. The TA-880L is a very compact enclosure and its minimal size and low weight ensures easy handling. It is designed to provide beneficial low frequency coupling when used in multiples. The enclosure is designed to be ground- stacked. TSW-218 Subwoofer The TS

user manual TA-880 The Polyhorn ™ and TurboMid ™ devices are unique to Turbosound and are covered by principle patents world-wide. They utilise specialised forms of horn loading which provide exceptionally low distortion and high efficiency from cone-type drive units. The subjective effect of these devices is greater clarity and transparency of reproduction when compared with conventional compression drivers and horns. The TA-880H can be equipped for touring applications with an externa

user manual TA-880 Transportation An optional WB-880H wheelboard is available which clips on to the front of the TA-880H cabinet, allowing single units to be conveniently transported. These are designed to be stackable, so that when not in use they can be neatly stored without taking up unecessary floor space. TA-880L bass cabinets are fitted with heavy duty wheels. Optional heavy duty transit covers are available for TA-880H cabinets. These simply slide over the box and fasten

user manual TA-880 Aspect trapezoidal Flying System To take full advantage of the very precise dispersion properties of the Aspect system, an external rigging system has been developed. The flying systems are inherently safe, flexible and simple to use. The rigging design allows the creation of clusters and arrays that can be assembled quickly and with a minimum number of crew, and with full control of the vertical angles between enclosures and their vertical inclination, to suit a wide

user manual TA-880 FLYING AND STACKING Overview The Aspect system flying hardware is specifically designed to take advantage of the precise horizontal directivity characteristics, as well as allow a wide range of adjustment of the vertical angles between adjacent enclosures, and the overall vertical inclination of each column of enclosures. This means that arrays can easily be optimised to suit the coverage requirements of any situation. Sound radiating from adjacent cabinets will suc

user manual TA-880 GIGMATE™ ACOUSTIC SIMULATION While the Aspect System is remarkably intuitive in terms of building arrays and aiming them, and requires no theoretical calculations in order to achieve optimum coverage of a room or audience space due to its inherent ‘point-and-shoot’ nature, there may well be situations where some prior knowledge of a venue can save time in setting up and configuring the PA. In order to aid in this process, Turbosound offers the GigMate™ software acoust

user manual TA-880 Designing a system To design a system begin by defining the venue/audience areas by clicking on the “Audience Area” tab in the bottom left of the screen. Within this window you can edit or remove existing audience areas, and create new ones. There are two methods of defining an audience area. In either case you must define the X1/Y1 coordinate of the start of the area, you can then either enter the X2/Y2 points or its length and angle. As you create audience
