3. The Flashline System

The Flashline TFS-900 System is a complete, fully integrated, large scale, five-way two-box line array sound 
reinforcement system. It comprises mid/high and sub-bass loudspeakers, amplification and system control racks, 
flying hardware, and transport cases in a very powerful and space-efficient format.

The Flashline system is designed to allow integration of systems around the world with guaranteed ‘out of the box’ 
compatibility.

3.1 TFS-900H mid/high loudspeaker

The TFS-900H is a four-way line array module covering the frequency range above 70Hz and containing three 1” 
high frequency compression drivers loaded by Dendritic waveguides, two 6.5” high-mid cone transducers loaded by 
Polyhorns, four 6.5” horn-loaded low-mid cone transducers, and two 12” horn-loaded low frequency transducers.

The rigging hardware is integrated into the end-cheeks on each side of the TFS-900H cabinet, which also provide 
grab handle positions. Drop links at the front and rear of the box engage in the flygear of the box below it in the 
array to give a range of inter-cabinet angles from 0° to 5°. TFS-900H cabinets are normally transported four-up 
on the TFS-DOLLY and can be flown right off the dolly in blocks of four, with the rigging hardware already pre-
configured for use. A simple TFS-GRID and TFS-TIP system is used to fly a typical array; no additional external parts 
are required to fly the system.

The cabinet is finished in black TourTough finish.
