Amplifi er Considerations
The TVX and TMS series loudspeakers are optimized for use with the TURBOSOUND T series amplifi ers with
the LMS series controllers. A full range of DSP settings to suit any confi guration are provided for download
on the TURBOSOUND website. The use of third party amplifi cation 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 amplifi ers designed for true
professional use. Power amplifi ers 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 amplifi ers
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* NL4 locking input connector(s) are provided, allowing options for input and link, passive,
and bi-amp operation.

Warning! Connecting a full-range speaker switched to bi-amp while
using a 4-pole cable may cause damage to the compression driver.
The full-range speaker must be switched to ‘passive’ mode.
Using 2-pole cables between the subwoofer and full-range
speaker is recommended.
