The TFL-760H 3-way medium dispersion mid/high loudspeaker enclosure achieves outstanding
transient ability over twice the nominal horizontal coverage angle of a Flashlight enclosure, thus
giving rise to its name: Floodlight. The use of specialised cone-type transducers, in combination with unique Axehead? technology, results in high efficiency, accuracy, very low levels of distortion, even
dispersion and exceptional intelligibility, enabling it to be considered for a multitude of near and mid field applications. Floodlight is therefore available in various housings and flying configurations to meet the specific
requirements of a large range of applications. The TFL-760H is the fully equipped touring version featuring an access door with
integral multi-way speaker cable, heavy duty wheels, flush handles, birch plywood construction and optimised truck-pack dimensions. The dimensions and positions
of the keyhole fly plates allow use of the highly advanced and well proven Flashlight flying system. All of these features combine to give a system unsurpassed in simplicity, ease and speed of handling, and long term durability.
The loudspeaker complement of the cabinet consists of a very powerful low/mid 12 cone loudspeaker which, combined with the Axehead? waveguide, handles frequencies between 180Hz and 1.3kHz. The high/mid
band between 1.3kHz and 8kHz is covered by a similar combination based on a specialised 6.5 loudspeaker. The remaining high
frequency band, 8kHz to in excess of 20kHz, is handled by a 1 VHF Compression Driver. Perfect time alignment is achieved by the
careful positioning of these three components and their wave guides within the enclosure.
The TFL-760H can also be used to augment Flashlight systems where Venue dimensions dictate wider coverage and shorter throw.
Turbosound
Turbosound is a leading designer and manufacturer of professional loudspeaker systems - proven by the vast number of endorsements of major international artistes and prestigious permanent installations around the world.
Turbosound's unique, award winning designs have been developed around unorthodox principles, resulting in a special harmony between high technology in its purest form and a natural approach to the art of acoustical and electronic engineering. Many principle patents have been awarded to Turbosound over the years.
In the large scale touring market, Turbosound has sold more than 20,000 loudspeaker systems, dominating this sector. Using disciplines learned from this most demanding of markets, Turbosound has also applied its design principles to the specialist requirements of the fixed installation, theatre, corporate and A/V markets.
As a result of this, you will find Turbosound products not only touring with the best known international artistes, but also permanently installed in diverse venues such as cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants; nightclubs, theatres and houses of worship; and sports centres, arenas and stadia.
Turbosound spends an industry-leading percentage of its sales on research and development, resulting in year after year of innovative product releases. State of the art measurement equipment, prototype building machinery and purpose designed sound rooms all support one of the best professional acoustical, analogue and digital engineering teams in the world.
Based in the heart of the English countryside, Turbosound employs a highly skilled, motivated workforce using modern manufacturing techniques. All components - most of which are designed and manufactured exclusively for Turbosound - are individually tested prior to assembly. As well as having to pass a comprehensive computerised test, each completed product is listened to by a trained technician.
Combine all of this with the close attention to detail in every aspect of the design - from robust precision-built enclosures that optimise natural acoustic performance, to the certified, easily assembled flying systems - and the result is that Turbosound enjoys an unrivalled worldwide reputation for reliability, innovation and quality.
The Turbosound range of loudspeaker products, control electronics and amplified systems has in common one single purpose - to provide you with the best solution for your application. For more detailed information about a particular product, please browse our website, or contact your local distributor - we are represented in over 70 countries.
However when choosing the right loudspeaker system, the single most important step you can take is to arrange a demonstration and let your own ears be the judge.
Used Drivers and Horns
Drivers and horns refer to loudspeakers that employ a horn to boost the speaker driver elementâ??s efficiency. The â??speaker hornâ?? is basically a kind of electromagnetically driven diaphragm. The horn used in drivers and horns doesnâ??t actually do anything to enhance or amplify sound coming from the cabinet driver itself â?? it is passive. All it does is to give the coupling efficiency between the air and the speaker driver a boost. Drivers and horns essentially serve to match the impedance between the low density of outside air and the high density of the speaker horn diaphragm.
Drivers and horns are perhaps best put to use in concerts and PA systems, where sound reinforcement is needed. This can be provided by the high sound pressure that drivers and horns produce, although the soundâ??s fidelity may be compromised when they are employed.
Cabinet horn loudspeakers are also popular in concert venues, as they are able to reproduce high volume bass sounds. In concert venues, drivers and horns are commonly called a bass driver, or a tweeter, and are employed so that the bass is not just heard but also â??feltâ?? by the audience. Multiple drivers and horns cab be combined into an array to boost the sound pressure even further, and this is more preferable than using a single horn that has a larger â??mouthâ?? area, as an array such as this affords greater output power.
Drivers and horns have other, more specialized uses. They can be used to extend a speaker driverâ??s low frequency limit, and they are able to modify a sound waveâ??s directional characteristics at both the horizontal coverage angle and the vertical coverage angle, depending on the width and height of the horn.
