The TCS-108 is a compact front loaded vented subwoofer with a high efficiency 8” low frequency driver. Its design allows multiple configurations adaptable to differing venue requirements by assembling units together with the supplied external brackets. The cabinet is fitted with M10 internal rigging points for permanent installations using standard eyebolts.
If subwoofer enclosures are used in a bi-amplified system in conjunction with TCS series 2-way enclosures, additional amplifier channels and external electronic crossovers will be required. Turbosound LMS series digital management systems are recommended for this purpose.
System Configurations Many different system configurations of TCS series loudspeaker enclosures are possible to suit various installation requirements, ranging from cafes, bars and restaurants to theme parks, theatres and houses of worship. Listed below are a few common examples. ♦ Full range system for small venues 2 x TCS-59 wide dispersion enclosures 1 x TMC-750 power amplifier...

Delay of up to 650mS can be independently set for each output with a minimum increment of 2.6µS. ♦ Comprehensive standard specification includes 20 user memories, and Turbosound’s pre set memories. ♦ The LMS-D6 provides exceptional audio quality with a full >110dB dynamic range, high sampling rate and minimal filtering.
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.
Connecting Cables Heavy duty loudspeaker cable should always be used, with a minimum wire size of 12 gauge (1.5mm ), and preferably 10 gauge (2.5mm short as possible. This helps to avoid wasting amplifier power in the resistance of the cable.
If you are in any doubt contact your Turbosound dealer who will be able to refer you to an experienced rigging company. All the sets and parts have been type tested and will be covered by “certificates of conformity”...
Single enclosures may be flown using a variety of different methods: ♦ Standard eyebolts (available from Turbosound or third party suppliers) attached to the rigging points provided on the top and back of the cabinet. The rigging point at the rear of the cabinet is used to alter the downward angle of the enclosure.
