INTRODUCTION
Turbosound Flashlight & Floodlight System Concepts
The TFS-780 has been designed as a complete system, with integrated loudspeakers, flying
hardware, amplifier racks, cabling and digital control system. It is designed for use in all
indoor and outdoor venues, from a small club audience up to the largest arena or stadium.
The Flashlight system concept benefits from the availability of a variety of purpose-designed
loudspeaker box types, forming a flexible kit of parts that are used to build up loudspeaker
arrays to cover specific audience spaces with precisely controlled high-fidelity sound
coverage.
The Turbosound TFL (Floodlight) loudspeaker system can be used on its own as a side or
front fill, as well as being part of the Turbosound Flashlight System. The Turbosound TFL-
760HM high-mid downfill and the TFL-760LM low-mid downfill enclosures contain the same
components as the TFL-760H, and are used to further enhance a Flashlight array, providing
near-field coverage for the nearest audience rows.
The TFS-780HF long-throw high-mid contains the same components as the TFL-760HM, and
is used for high end far-field coverage of the furthest audience areas.
The Loudspeaker Management System (LMS) Concept
The LMS-D6 Loudspeaker Management System is more than just an electronic crossover. It
provides full digital time alignment of all components in the Flashlight/Floodlight enclosures,
to ensure a coherent acoustic output. It also incorporates a number of features which
contribute to overall system reliability and ease of setting-up.
Because the power amplifiers are included as part of the Flashlight system, the LMS-D6 is
able to utilise output limiters which are precisely matched to the system requirements, being
pre-set to prevent the amplifiers from clipping. Inputs and outputs are fully balanced,
providing isolation between the LMS-D6 and the amplifier inputs. These factors contribute to
high reliability in the adverse circumstances often encountered under arduous touring
conditions.
Flashlight TFS-780
The Turbosound Flashlight system is a complete, fully integrated sound reinforcement
system comprising loudspeakers and all necessary drive and control equipment in an
extremely compact and manageable form.
By supplying the Flashlight only as an integrated package, Turbosound has ensured absolute
compatibility between users. All Flashlight systems are identical throughout the world, and
