Unpacking the Loudspeaker
After unpacking the unit please check carefully for damage. If damage is found, please notify your supplier at once. You, the
consignee, must instigate any claim. Please retain all packaging in case of future re-shipment.
System Requirements – Passive, Bi-amped and Tri-amped Loudspeakers
The TCS-61 two-way loudspeaker operates as a passive system and requires only one
amplifier channel for correct operation; the frequency splitting between the LF driver
and the HF driver being accomplished by the internal passive crossover network built
into each enclosure. It is equipped with a Neutrik speakON NL4 wired in parallel with
a 4-way barrier strip connector, providing input and loop-through connections to
additional TCS series loudspeakers.
The TCS-122 and TCS-152 will operate either in bi-amp mode; or in one of three
passive modes in which minor voicing adjustments are made within the crossover
shipped by default in passive mode). They are each equipped with a Neutrik speakON
NL4 connector wired in parallel with a 4-way barrier strip. The TCS-122 and TCS-152
two-way loudspeakers in bi-amped mode require two amplifier channels and an
external electronic crossover.
The TCS-1561 is a switchable bi-amp/tri-amp loudspeaker (shipped as bi-amp)
requiring either two or three amplifier channels, together with an electronic
crossover. All connections are provided on two parallel-linked Neutrik speakON NL8
connectors.
To avoid wasting amplifier power you should use heavy-duty speaker cable with a
minimum wire size of 12 gauge (1.5mm²), and preferably 10 gauge (2.5mm²) for
longer runs. For extreme cable lengths be aware of cable impedance and resistive
losses. Always observe the correct polarity as shown.
Amplifier considerations
TCS series speaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use. Amplifiers
should be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to the loudspeaker's program power rating at its
stated nominal impedance. The use of under-powered amplifiers must be avoided as heavily clipped signals can cause
permanent loudspeaker damage.

Page 2: Self-Powered Loudspeakers
These systems must be used with Turbosound LMS-D24 or LMS-D26 controllers, since these provide vital operating and system security features. If you do not have a controller, DO NOT USE the loudspeaker without one; please contact your Turbosound dealer for further details. -
Page 3: Mounting And Fixing
18mm. Use the rear rigging point to angle the cabinet for optimum room coverage. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required. Turbosound WB-20, WB-55 and CB-55 wall and ceiling brackets are optionally available for TCS series cabinets, and these are also compatible with OmniMount wall and ceiling brackets which use 60mm x 60mm hole spacing. -
Page 4: Wall And Ceiling Brackets
Wall and Ceiling Brackets To install a loudspeaker using Turbosound wall and ceiling brackets, first separate the brackets into their wall/ceiling plate and speaker plate component parts. Remove the countersunk bolts on the rear panel of the cabinet. Attach the speaker plate to the cabinet with the bolts supplied. - Page 5 Q u i c k s t a r t G u i d e TCS series TCS series Flying Kits Flying components are arranged into kits as shown here: Vertical Arrays The simplest vertical array consists of two TCS-122 cabinets or two TCS-152 cabinets flown one above the other and suspended from eyebolts.
- Page 6 TCS-61 To use the SB-61 to install the TCS-61 in a ceiling-mount application, separate the component parts as above, and fix the top section to the ceiling with appropriate fixings (not supplied). Fit the other half to the TCS-61 cabinet, re-assemble the bracket, angle as appropriate and tighten all fixings.

Q u i c k s t a r t G u i d e TCS series Rotating the HF horn pattern The high frequency horn in all TCS-122 and TCS-152 models can be rotated through 90° in order to swap the horizontal and vertical dispersion patterns, particularly useful when assembling clusters or for example to retain the original dispersion when the cabinet is installed in a horizontal orientation. -
