The TCS115B-AN is a 3,000 Watt 15"
front loaded powered subwoofer with
digital networking ideally suited for
a wide range of  xed installation and
portable PA applications. Designed
to work individually without a
controller or additional ampli cation,
the TCS115B-AN provides optimal
low frequency reinforcement when
used in conjunction with all TCS
Series loudspeakers.

A bass re ex port design enclosure,
with a high power, double suspension 15" low frequency driver that utilizes
a specialised voice coil wound on both the inside and outside of the coil
former for higher magnetic density, better heat dissipation, higher power
handling capacity, and improved e ciency.

Output power for the TCS115B-AN is provided by means of an e cient
and lightweight KLARK TEKNIK 3,000-Watt Class-D power ampli er.
A sophisticated, but easy to use KLARK TEKNIK Digital Signal Processor
(DSP) provides dynamic EQ for impressive full range response at low
volume levels, and transparent limiting for clarity at high output levels –
and long-term reliability.

3000 Watt 15" Front Loaded Subwoofer
with KLARK TEKNIK DSP Technology and
ULTRANET Networking

ULTRANET connectivity is provided by two locking etherCON* connectors. Up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit
digital audio and control data are transmitted via a single CAT5 cable between compatible digital devices – including
mixers, I/O stage boxes, powered loudspeakers and personal monitoring systems. Simpli ed cable routing and ease of
setup translate directly into signi cant time saved during installation.

Finished in a highly durable semi matt black paint, the cabinet is constructed from 15 mm (⁄") birch plywood – and
includes a rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille backed with reticulated foam. Multiple internal rigging
points allow bracket mount and suspension in any orientation. A dedicated range of  y plates and coupler kits are also
available separately for constructing tightly packed custom full-range and subwoofer enclosure arrays for aesthetically
pleasing and venue speci c coverage requirements. Mains power input is provided via a Neutrik powerCON* connector.

Mounting and Rigging

The cabinet is  tted with M10 x 8 internally-threaded rigging points that allow it to be rigged with optional shoulder eyebolts and mounted in
many di erent con gurations in permanent installations.

An array of two or more cabinets can be con gured using optional TURBOSOUND  yplates and inter-cabinet couplers. These are  xed to the
cabinet sides through the M10 rigging points, and assembled together in a ‘daisy chain’ fashion to build up the required array.
