user manual TXD series eyebolts. A pole mount socket is fitted to the top of the cabinet to enable two-way enclosures to be mounted on 35mm poles. The cabinet is constructed from 15mm (5/8”) birch plywood, and is finished in a durable semi-matt textured TurboBlue™...
Therefore a full range system consisting of, for example, a TXD-121 and a TXD-115 can be powered from a single amplifier as shown below, thereby saving the expense of additional amplifiers and external crossovers.
Mode selection is determined by the position of the wire links on the connector block. To bypass the internal passive crossover, connect the yellow link wire from the red to the black as shown in the diagram above and replace the pole mount in the cabinet. TXD-121 TXD-121 Output...
TXD series Amplifier considerations Turbosound speaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use. Such amplifiers will have balanced inputs, DC and RF fault protection, and well-designed cooling systems for reliability. The program power listed in the loudspeaker’s technical specification is the best guide to the size of amplifier required for general-purpose applications.
user manual TXD series pub or small club environment as shown below. For best results the loudspeakers should be either mounted on tripod stands or supported on straight poles on top of TXD series bass enclosures. In order to optimise the sound coverage, point the loudspeakers inwards slightly, such that the centre lines intersect at a distance approximately equal to twice the width of the stage.
