Page 16: System Requirements
These products are self-powered subwoofer systems designed to accompany QLight™ series self- powered loudspeakers. The TQ-425DP comprises two independent amplifier channels: one channel to power each low frequency driver. The TQ-115DP uses one amplifier channel to power the single drive unit. -
Page 17: Amplifier Modules
user manual QLight™ DP series AMPLIFIER MODULES Power Amplifiers The digital power amplifiers used in QLight™ DP series loudspeakers are conservatively rated and designed with sufficient headroom to handle large signal transients without break-up or distortion. Each channel of the module will deliver 800 watts r.m.s. into an 8 ohm load. AC Power Requirements QLight™... -
Page 18: Limiting Functions
user manual QLight™ DP series Limiting Functions The amplifier modules are equipped with accurate limiters for both high frequency and low frequency sections. Because the HF and LF limiters work independently of each other, there is no possibility of either section compromising the performance of the other as is the case with a single broad-band limiter. -

Updating firmware or loudspeaker parameters Periodically Turbosound will release updated settings to improve the performance of your loudspeaker system. Your local Turbosound dealer will be able to give you the latest settings. These are released with comprehensive instructions on how to upgrade your units. -
Page 20: Converging Elliptical Waveguides
user manual QLight™ DP series CONVERGING ELLIPTICAL WAVEGUIDES™ A design feature of the TQ-308DP, TQ-310DP and TQ-315DP loudspeakers is the Converging Elliptical Waveguide™ (CEW™). This gives many user advantages. The comparatively short flare length allows the HF and LF components to be physically aligned in the cabinet, so ensuring coherent arrival at the listener’s ear irrespective of distance from the loudspeaker. -
Page 21: Mounting And Fixing
MOUNTING AND FIXING Rigging Hardware A versatile range of mounting hardware is available that allows enclosures to be used in a variety of ways, in either mobile applications or permanent installations. Internal metric threaded rigging points are provided on the TQ-445DP cabinet enabling it to be flown using optional M10 shoulder eyebolts. - Page 22 QL-75 quicklinks or shackles. FF-425 flying strips are load tested. WARNING: Rigging eyebolts must not be used for flying this enclosure. You must use the optional Turbosound steel flying strips described above. The universal FB-12 flybar assembly enables the use of several different fixing methods for the TQ-445DP, all shown in the diagram here.
- Page 23 The FB-12 flybar assembly comes supplied with a U-6 Unilock fitting, which provides a single attachment point. The point at which the Unilock is attached to the flybar determines the vertical angle of the loudspeaker as shown in the table following. A pick-up point adapter offers a further single attachment point.

Page 24: Permanent Installations
QLight™ enclosures only. For more detailed information on the whole topic of rigging various handbooks are available. If you are in any doubt contact your Turbosound dealer who will be able to refer you to an experienced rigging company. - Page 25 user manual QLight™ DP series It was stated earlier that the TQ-445DP’s tightly controlled directivity gives it essentially point and shoot qualities. Every room has its own unique set of characteristics that affect any sound introduced into the room. These include reverberation reflections and decay time, sound absorption of materials used, temperature and humidity, etc.
