user manual TCS series System Requirements TCS 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 subwoofer enclosures are used in a bi-amplified system in conjunction with TCS series 2-way enclosures, additional amplifier channels and e

user manual TCS series Loudspeaker Connections TCS series enclosures are provided with a recessed connector panel housing a single Neutrik Speakon NL4MP connector wired in parallel with a 4-way terminal strip, or in the case of the TCS-12M and TCS-15M wedge monitors via two Neutrik Speakon NL4MP connectors wired in parallel. Either can be used for the input, the other being available as an output for looping to further TCS enclosures. Note that looping out to additional enclosures has th

user manual TCS series Connecting Cables Heavy duty loudspeaker cable should always be used, with a minimum wire size of 12 2 2 gauge (1.5mm ), and preferably 10 gauge (2.5mm ) for longer runs, keeping the run as short as possible. This helps to avoid wasting amplifier power in the resistance of the cable. High cable resistance also lowers the damping factor of the amplifier that affects its ability to control loudspeaker cone movement. Losses due to undersized cable and long runs are cl

All riggable products are fitted with metric internal fixings. It is expected that external parts such as eyenuts, flying bridles, scaffold clamps, safety chains etc. will be obtained locally from the u
