The 2-way full range TBV123 is
an arrayable, switchable passive/bi-
amplied 2,400 Watt 12" loudspeaker
system that is ideally suited for
touring, portable, and installed
sound reinforcement applications.
Designed to work in conjunction
with LAKE DSP and LAB GRUPPEN
amplication, the TBV123 provides
optimal performance for FOH,
ostage ll, stereo in-ll or distributed
ll applications in a wide range of venues – including nightclubs,
concert halls, houses of worship, and more.
Custom-Engineered Drivers
TURBOSOUND is recognised the world over
for designing and building some of the most iconic loudspeakers and subwoofers. We take meticulous care and pride in maintaining that reputation by utilising only drivers designed specically for each application – it’s what sets us apart from the competition. The TBV123 loudspeaker features a carbon bre loaded 12" neodymium low frequency driver, and dual aluminium dome 1" neodymium motor compression drivers mounted on a 100° horizontal by 15° vertical dispersion constant curvature Dendritic waveguide, which maximises the direct sound eld while reducing reverberant energy.

Mounting and Rigging
Safety Warning: Only authorised and certied personnel shall design and install suspended or ground stack congurations, following
the instructions and procedures in the TBV123-FB rigging manual supplied with the TBV123-FB ybar, or downloaded from turbosound.com. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to death or permanent injury. For maximum array sizes, weights and working load limits, please consult the TBV123-FB rigging manual.
The TBV123 cabinet has two retractable mounting links at the top, that allow it to be attached to a TBV123-FB ybar, or to another TBV123 cabinet, or to a TBV118L subwoofer. Rigging pins are provided to secure the TBV123 cabinets, TBV118L subwoofer, and TBV123-FB ybar together. Threaded eyebolt holes and pole mount holes are also present for more mounting options.

Architecture & Engineering Specications
The speaker shall be of the full range, two-way switchable bi-amp/passive type consisting of one 12" (316 mm) LF driver and two 1" (25.4 mm) HF compression drivers. Performance specications of a typical production unit shall meet or exceed the following: frequency response, measured with swept sine wave input, shall be at within ±3 dB from 65 Hz to 20 kHz and within -10 dB from 53 Hz to 20 kHz. Nominal dispersion, at -6 dB points, shall average 100° H x 15° V. Nominal impedance shall be HF: 8 Ohms, LF: 8 Ohms; passive: 8 Ohms. Power handling shall be HF: 60 Watts continuous, 240 Watts peak, LF: 540 Watts continuous, 2,160 Watts peak; passive: 600 Watts continuous, 2,400 Watts peak. Sensitivity, measured on axis, mean averaged over stated bandwidth, shall be 97 dB, 1 Watt @ 1 metre. Maximum SPL (peak), measured at 1 metre with music program at stated amplier input, shall be HF: 130 dB, LF: 131 dB; passive: 131 dB. Dimensions: 344 mm high x 598 mm wide x 398 mm deep (13.6 x 23.5 x 15.7"). Net weight: 22.0 kg (48.5 lbs). The loudspeaker system shall be the TURBOSOUND TBV123. No other loudspeaker shall be acceptable unless submitted data from an independent test laboratory veries that the above combined performance / size specications are equaled or exceeded.
