System Requirements

TVX122M, TVX152, TMS122M, TMS152 and TMS153 are switchable passive / bi-amp 2-way loudspeakers. Passive operation (full range or with a subwoofer) requires 1 amplifier channel and 1 controller channel. The input signal is divided between the low-frequency and high-frequency drivers internally with a passive crossover.

Bi-amp operation (full range or with a subwoofer) requires 2 amplifier channels and 2 controller channels, one for low frequencies one for high frequencies. The input signal is divided between the low frequency and high frequency drivers in the controller and the individual amplified signals are fed to the speaker input.

TVX118B, TMS118B and TMS218B subwoofer have a switchable input to allow operation with the satellite speakers using a single four core cable run. Operation requires 1 amplifier channel and 1 controller channel.

Correct controller settings for all models operation and with subwoofer can be downloaded from turbosound.com, and are also available as presents for the LMS series controllers. To avoid wasting amplifier power, you should use heavy-duty speaker cable with a minimum wire size of 1.5mm^2 (16 AWG), and preferably 2.5mm^2 (14 AWG) for longer runs. For the TMS153 and TMS218B, use 4.5mm^2 (10-12 AWG) where possible. For extreme cable lengths, be aware of cable impedance and resistive losses. Always observe the correct polarity.

The TVX122M and TMS122M 2-way systems double effectively as wedge monitors. The TVX122M and the TMS122M both provide 30^ and 60^ wedge angles from the stage.

Amplifier Considerations

The TVX and TMS series loudspeakers are optimized for use with the TURBOSOUND T series amplifiers with the LMS series controllers. A full range of DSP settings to suit any configuration are provided for download on the TURBOSOUND website. The use of third party amplification and processing is only advised using the matrix of manual settings as well as the limiter calculator provided on the TURBOSOUND website. The TVX and TMS series loudspeaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use. Power amplifiers should be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to half the loudspeaker's peak power rating at its stated nominal impedance. The use of underpowered amplifiers must be avoided as heavily clipped signals can cause permanent loudspeaker damage. Limiters, crossovers and equalisation points must be set in accordance with the settings provided on the TURBOSOUND website. This will ensure the optimum sound quality and long-term reliability as well as protection from damage.

Neutrik speakON^a NL4 locking input connector(s) are provided, allowing options for input and link, passive, and bi-amp operation.

Mounting and Fixing

TVX and TMS full-range series cabinets are designed with multiple internal rigging points to suit many possible mounting methods in permanent installations.

Suspending with Eyebolts

TVX and TMS cabinets can be suspended using optional eyebolts coupled to the internal rigging points provided on the top, bottom and sides and back. The simplest method is to use the two rigging points on the top and a single pull-back rigging point in the centre of the rear panel.

Remove the appropriate countersunk screws and replace them with shoulder eyebolts, which must have a thread length of at least 18mm . Use the rear rigging point to angle the cabinet for optimum room coverage. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks.

Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory used must be safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.

When mounting rigging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in accordance with the maker's instructions.

The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flow system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualified and certified (by local state or national authorities) personnel prior to any installation or Il ving.

Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and flown by qualified and certified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your dealer before attempting to set up the system.

Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. MUSIC Group, including the MUSIC Group companies listed on the enclosed "Service Information Sheet", assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular checks must be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is fown, the area underneath the speaker is free of human traffic. Do not fly the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.

Speakers create a magnetic field, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fields (discs, computers, monitors, etc) at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
