FEATURES

Superb audio quality: carefully designed and matched loudspeaker drive units are used to give you exceptional performance and many years of reliable, trouble free operation.

High quality loudspeaker components are used throughout the range. Low frequency drivers are specified for high sensitivity and durability, while high frequency drivers are selected for consistent and reliable performance.

High frequency protection system: two-stage thermal overload circuits on all two way products prevents damage to the HF drive units from both transient peaks and long term heating effects.

Professional appearance: TL series enclosures are equally suited to live sound as well as permanently installed applications.

Easy transportability: comfortable, ergonomic flush handles are provided on all TL series enclosures for easy lifting and transportation in mobile sound reinforcement applications.

Wide dispersion: TL series enclosures are designed to give wide and even dispersion patterns in order to maximise sound coverage over a given area from single loudspeakers.

Solid construction: all Turbosound TL series cabinets are built from high grade birch plywood and are finished in a durable semi-matt textured paint.

Integral rigging points: fitted as standard, enabling use with optional M10 shoulder eyebolts for many types of fixed installations. All models are type-tested for load rating to ensure safe rigging.

Pole mount and tripod stand use is facilitated by the provision of integral pole mount fittings on all models with the exception of the TL-1561.

Speakon NL4MP connectors are fitted to all TL series enclosures, enabling simple and easy hook-ups as well providing loop-in / loop-out facilities to additional enclosures.
