    TCS series The TCS-108 TCS-108 is a compact front loaded vented subwoofer TCS-108 TCS-108 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.
  • Page 9: System Requirements

    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.
  • Page 10: System Configurations

    TCS series 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.

  • Page 13: Loudspeaker Connections

    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.
  • Page 14: Connecting Cables

    TCS series 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 ) for longer runs, keeping the run as short as possible. This helps to avoid wasting amplifier power in the resistance of the cable.
  • Page 15: Flying And Lifting

    FLYING AND LIFTING General A versatile set of rigging parts has been designed for arrayable TCS series enclosures in order to give the installer a cost effective approach to flying and mounting, ranging from a single enclosure up to multi-box arrays and clusters.
