Turbosound TA-500 15" Loudspeaker (Discontinued)

Part # TA-500
Model # TA-500
The TA-500 is a trapezoidal three-way enclosure comprising a custom HF driver loaded by a high frequency Polyhorn device, a custom 10" drive unit on a further Polyhorn device optimised for mid frequencies, a 15" low-mid freq driver loaded.
Description

Details

Both Polyhorn designs feature a sharp cut-off at the edges of the coverage pattern, which all but eliminates the comb filtering effects commonly experienced between adjacent sources when arraying conventional horn designs. The TA-500 includes a passive crossover network between the MF and HF drive units for bi-amped operation which can be bypassed for full tri-amped operation by moving an internal jumper.

The TA-500 cabinet is trapezoidal shaped with side angles optimized for close packing. An optional removable, stackable wheel board clips on to the front of the cabinet for transportation. M10 rigging points are provided on the top, bottom and sides of the cabinet, as well as two further points on the rear. A cost-effective external flying system consists of internal steel struts which are used in conjunction with lifting bars, hinge kits and rear straps to assemble simple two-wide and three-wide arrays of cabinets.

A recessed panel at the rear of the cabinet carries two parallel-linked Speakon NL8s for input and loop-through connections, with a further Speakon NL4MP which is used for the sub link-out connection.
