user manual TA-500 INTRODUCTION Turbosound Aspect System Concepts The TA-500 system is a modular point source loudspeaker system designed to deliver extremely high fidelity audio. The system is easily scaleable medium scale ground-stacked and flown concert touring down to small clubs and events. The Aspect system concept centres around the exceptional directivity of the patented Polyhorn™ devices employed in the high frequency and high-mid frequency sections of the mid/high enclosure.

user manual TA-500 The Aspect Polyhorn™ Concept The patented Polyhorn™ design effectively solves the problem of the tendency for exponential horns to beam with increasing frequency. Dividing the multi-cellular horn into multiple tapered waveguides guarantees that the path length of each micro-horn is equal from the surface of the driver diaphragm to the horn mouth, and ensures that all frequencies from all parts of the diaphragm arrive at the horn mouth together. This provides the wavefr

user manual TA-500 • The TA-500 features approximately twice the horizontal and vertical dispersion as the narrower TA-880 and TA-890 products, making it more suitable for medium- and near-field applications in smaller rooms. • The Polyhorn™ displays a similarly sharp cut-off at the dispersion edges to the narrower TA-880 and TA-890 products, as illustrated below, and this makes it practical to cover a lot of small to medium venues with only two cabinets per side, giving approximately

user manual TA-500 The Loudspeaker Management System (LMS) Concept Turbosound Loudspeaker Management Systems are more than just electronic crossovers. As well as steep slope active filters and high performance limiters, they provide full digital alignment of all components in the Aspect enclosures, to ensure a coherent acoustic output. They also incorporates a number of features which contribute to overall system reliability and ease of setting-up and use. All system parameters such as

user manual TA-500 Neodymium magnets are used throughout all drive units. This results in higher efficiency, less power compression and reduced overall weight. Low-mid frequency drivers are designed to be rear-facing in the enclosure, enabling the heatsink / phase plug to be placed in the air flow to aid cooling. TA-500 user manual Page 12

user manual TA-500 TA-500 Three-way Loudspeaker The TA-500 trapezoidal enclosure contains a Turbo- loaded neodymium 15" LF driver, a custom 10” MF driver on a Polyhorn™ device, and a custom HF driver on a Polyhorn™ device, covering a frequency range from 60Hz up to 18kHz (with DSP). The two Polyhorn™ devices are designed to generate an exceptionally smooth and accurately defined wavefront across a 50º horizontal by 25º vertical dispersion pattern, and over the entire mid and high fre

user manual TA-500 B18 Subwoofer The B18 is a compact bandpass subwoofer designed to be used in a variety of installed sound system applications as well as portable sub-bass support for Aspect TA-500 enclosures. It consists of a high-excursion, 4” voice-coil, 18” LF driver in a bandpass birch plywood enclosure of modest dimensions. Speakon NL4 connectors are provided on the rear panel with special cable access bays that allow cabinets to be positioned against a wall when intercon

user manual TA-500 FLYING AND STACKING Overview The Aspect system flying hardware is specifically designed to take advantage of its precise horizontal directivity characteristics, as well as to allow a wide range of adjustment of the vertical angles between adjacent enclosures, and the overall vertical inclination of each column of enclosures. This means that arrays can easily be optimised to suit the coverage requirements of any situation. Sound radiating from adjacent cabinets will

user manual TA-500 When initially ratcheting a column of speakers it is good to bear in mind the expected angle of inclination so as to avoid ending up with too much of the strap left on the ratchet. This is important because the ratchet can only take three complete turns before it releases itself. WARNING: If a tilt strap is released suddenly, the column of enclosures may tend to swing violently forwards and care must be taken to avoid danger to persons in the vicinity. It is essential t
