Summary

Turbosound LMS-D24;D26 User Manual

Quick Reference

Display

The LCD displays preset and parameter information. At start up the display shows the default screen with the memory location and name of the current preset.

Channel Select Buttons

Scrolls through available inputs and outputs. Stereo linked channels show association, e.g., 'CH A+B'.

Edit Select Buttons

The name of the edit parameter is displayed in the bottom left. Pressing buttons moves through available parameters for current input/output.

Parameter Encoders

Adjusts up to three displayed parameters. Clockwise increases, anti-clockwise decreases value. Rapid turning accelerates action.

Mute Buttons

LEDs indicate status. Pressing a mute button toggles mute on and off for its associated channel.

Store Button

Allows users to store setups in 45 memory locations and name presets. Pressing again completes the task.

Important Safety and Compliance Information

General Safety Precautions

Do not remove covers, ensure earthing, protect power cord, use specified accessories, refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Regulatory Compliance

Product complies with EMC and Low Voltage Directives, conforming to European standards EN60065, EN55103-1, EN55103-2.

Introduction and Initial Setup

Thanks

Thank you for choosing Turbosound LMS series controller. Read manual for best performance.

Unpacking the Controller

Check unit for damage after unpacking. Notify carrier if damage is found. Retain packaging for future re-shipment.

System Overview

Introduction

Describes LMS-D24/D26 as state-of-the-art DSP audio processing units combining functions in a 1U rack unit.

Key Features

Highlights minimal signal path, superb ADC/DAC, SHARC DSP, 96kHz sampling, and front panel controls.

Understanding the User Guide

User Guide Overview

Manual provides detailed descriptions of functions, front/rear panel controls, and features with annotated images.

Front Panel Functions

Input Signal Indicators

Set of three LEDs per channel indicate signal present, +4dBu operating level, and input clip.

Program Store and Recall

Controls for accessing 45 presets. Allows naming and selecting memory locations for storing or recalling setups.

Channel Selection Buttons

Selects input/output channels and utility functions. Displays channel name and pairing for stereo linking.

Detailed Front Panel Controls

Edit Select Buttons and Text Display

Edit buttons navigate parameters. Text display shows preset, channel, parameter, and status info on a 2x24 character LCD.

Parameter Knobs

Three velocity-sensitive knobs adjust displayed parameters, linked to screen zones. Turning adjusts values.

Output Signal and Limiter Indicators

Two LEDs per output show signal level relative to limiter threshold (yellow for -6dB, red for threshold reached).

Mute Buttons and Secure Button

Mute buttons toggle output mute status. Rear Secure Button disables front panel controls for tamper-proofing.

Rear Panel Connections

Power Inlet and Expansion Port

Connects to mains supply. Expansion port is for future network card fitting.

Audio Input and Output Connectors

Balanced XLR connectors for audio inputs and outputs. Details wiring and grounding for signal processing.

Serial and Network Comms Ports

Serial comms port for PC control and firmware updates. Network port is a future option.

Operating the LMS Series Controller

Starting Up the Unit

Unit powers on via IEC inlet. Displays firmware info and mutes outputs until internal checks are complete.

Selecting Factory Presets

Library of 30 presets for Turbosound enclosures. Recall involves pressing the Recall button multiple times.

Creating a Crossover Preset

Utilizes two 'Base Presets' (mono/stereo) for developing custom settings. Edited versions can be stored.

Navigation and Parameter Adjustment

Parameter Adjustment Overview

Many processing elements are adjustable parameters. Parameters are adjusted using the three parameter knobs.

Using Parameter Knobs

Knobs adjust parameters shown in display zones. Turning clockwise increases, anti-clockwise decreases value.

Navigating Channels and Parameters

Channel Navigation

Navigate between channels, utilities, and back to default screen using channel buttons.

Parameter Page Navigation

Edit buttons access parameter pages for each channel. Scrolling moves through different processing pages.

Presets Management

Preset Recall Process

Select an existing preset by pressing Recall, turning knob A, and confirming. Factory presets are indicated by a box symbol.

Developing User Presets

Users can develop presets based on factory or basic presets. All parameters can be adjusted.

Storing Presets

Preset Store Procedure

Press Store button, select location with knob A, name preset with knobs B/C, and press Store again to save.

Overwrite Protection

User can only overwrite non-protected presets. Attempting to overwrite locked presets displays a 'LOCKED PRESET' message.
