Turbosound Floodlight TFS-760 Mid-High Cabinet
The TFS-780H uses very narrow dispersion pattern components. These are further developments of Turbosound’s Proportional Directivity™ in a very high-Q enclosure and enables seamless coverage over a massive area with anything from 1/2 to 1/4 the number of conventional enclosures, depending on the distance from the array. In reality this also means that many applications that would normally require distributed delays will no longer need them.
The loudspeakers are divided into two uniformly sized enclosures: the TFS-780L and the TFS-780H. The TFS-780L covers the low frequencies in the range 30 – 150Hz and contains a 21″ loudspeaker with a 6″ voice coil, loaded with a TurboBass™ device. The TFS-780H consists of two specially developed long-throw TurboMid™ devices, and a high-Q 25mm (1″) waveguide horn. The larger TurboMid™ device is driven by a very powerful 12″
loudspeaker and covers the frequency range between 150Hz and 1k3Hz. The smaller TurboMid™ device is fitted with an intensively developed 6.5″ cone loudspeaker covering the frequency range between 1k3Hz and 8kHz. This combination of TurboMid™ devices represents an unprecedented step in the use of cone-type transducers up to 8kHz, resulting in increased reliability and power handling and a startling improvement in acoustic clarity and detail over any compression driver working in the same band. This leaves the remaining frequencies (8kHz – 20kHz) to be easily handled by a custom 1” (25mm) compression driver.
All the units in the TFS-780H are correctly timealigned within the system controller, which is preset during manufacture. In addition, usercontrollable time alignment adjustment compensates for the physical displacement of the bass devices with respect to the mid-high enclosures. The combination of the amplifier power, coupled with very high efficiency drivers equates to considerable sound pressure levels being achieved with exceptional clarity.
The control system comprises a digital crossover with factory-loaded crossover programs, high performance limiters, electronically balanced inputs and outputs and an auto-switching power supply.
The power amplifiers are designed specifically for use with the Flashlight system. They are capable of delivering the high power level demands that the loudspeaker system is capable of converting into acoustic energy. The amplifiers are supplied in a 19″ rack unit in groups of four, complete with all the necessary wiring and multi-pin connectors.
To take full advantage of such a highly tuned system, with such accurately defined dispersion characteristics, Turbosound’s engineers have developed a safe, flexible and ingeniously simple flying and lifting system. This allows the creation of clusters and arrays with full control of the angular inclinations between adjacent enclosures to suit a variety of requirements.
The Flashlight TFS-780 System is a fully integrated long
throw sound reinforcement system in an extremely compact
and manageable form. It is supplied as a system package
comprising loudspeaker enclosures; amplifier racks; a
system controller and all the requisite cables and
connectors. This combination of components is configured
as the ideal “building block” for the creation of spherical
arrays, providing a formidable system for large arena use.
The Flashlight system is easily capable of delivering full
range (30 – 20kHz), very low distortion, coherent sound in the
biggest indoor or outdoor venues.
