TFL-760HM and TFL-760LM downfills
The downfill versions of Floodlight are used to provide near-field coverage as part of
Flashlight or Floodlight touring systems. The TFL-760HM is a trapezoidal high-mid section
incorporating the 6.5” and 1” components, whereas the TFL-760LM contains only the 12”
unit. Both downfill cabinets are exactly the same size and are fitted with Flashlight ‘keyhole’
flying points allowing these units to be flown as the bottom row of a PA cluster. A TFL-
760HM combined with a TFL-760LM contains exactly the same loudspeaker components as
the TFL-760H enclosure and is therefore electrically and acoustically equivalent. These two
units are also extremely useful as front fills or ground fills, either singly or combined
together.
TFS-780HF long throw mid-high
The TFS-780HF is a dedicated long-throw high frequency unit that is used to selectively boost
the high end at a distance without the need for an extra row of Flashlight boxes. It will
normally be flown as the top row of a Flashlight array. It is supplied in pairs with a
removable wheel dolly, matching the dimensions of a TFS-780H Flashlight enclosure. The
TFS-780HF is equipped with keyhole flyplates and hinged rear access door.
LMS-D6 Loudspeaker Management System
Use of the LMS-D6 loudspeaker management system ensures accurate time-alignment of the
system drive units and also provides a facility for users to select additional delay, either to
compensate for physical displacement of ground-stacked bass enclosures relative to flown
high packs, or to provide full range delay for correct image localisation or use in
distributed
systems. It should however be noted that the high-Q, and therefore long throw, properties of
the Flashlight generally eliminate the need for distributed delayed systems, even for very
large audiences.
Flashlight Flying System
To take full advantage of the precise dispersion properties of the Flashlight, a
complementary flying and lifting system has been developed. This is safe, flexible and
simple to use. It allows the creation of clusters and arrays with full control of the angles
between enclosures and of their vertical inclination, to suit a wide variety of requirements.
Adjustments may be easily made by one person whilst the system is in the air, with the array
always remaining in perfect physical balance.
