The Touring Series consists of two product types: the SlingShot series with 55° x 35° dispersion
for long throw applications, and the T series with 55° x 45° dispersion for medium throw
applications. Both types have the same horizontal dispersion, but the T series has greater
dispersion in the vertical plane, making them ideal for down-fill applications in combination
with SlingShots or as stand-alone boxes in applications where a wider vertical dispersion is
desirable to address sloping audience areas. This manual applies to the T series.
The T series is designed to be used with any quality amplification equipment. There is no need
for special processors. The design philosophy is that acoustic problems are best solved with
acoustic solutions. As the most powerful processor cannot correct even basic acoustic
problems, there is no substitute for the quality of an acoustically well designed speaker.
For this reason, all drive units have been developed with emphasis on ultra flat frequency
response, highly controlled dispersion patterns and very low distortion. In addition, power
compression has been kept to an absolute minimum.
The 2" compression driver from the Slingshot is also used in the T series, making it ideal for
delay applications with the SlingShot top-box as front of house speaker.
The M12T and M15T are full range boxes that work well without support from subwoofers.
The M30T is a dedicated top-box with a roll-off at around 70 Hz, but with extremely high
output above this frequency.
