FLEX ARRAY

Network Capability

Self-powered Flex Array loudspeaker systems are supplied with built-in network functionality
– enabling fast, intuitive control and monitoring of all networked devices via the BvNet
protocol using Turbosound‟s TurboDrive™ software. Flex Array features brand new DSP,
offering multiple internal preset recall via the rear panel or by a remote link.
LMS-D2x series controllers are equipped with network cards as standard and are pre-
configured with factory programs for all non-powered Flex Array models.
TurboDrive™ offers user control of input EQ, delay and mute, although key factory settings
such as limiting and driver correction are locked out on DP models to maintain consistent
voicing and driver protection while ensuring maximum flexibility of use.
Single controllers are connected via RS232, while multiple units (controllers or self-powered
loudspeakers) are connected to a PC via a simple BVNet USB adapter.
