user manual TL series Dispersion TL series enclosures are designed to provide relatively wide (70°) horizontal coverage. This allows the majority of live sound applications to be covered with enclosures placed individually to take advantage of this performance feature, for example either side of a stage in a pub or small club environment as shown below. The loudspeakers should be either mounted on tripod stands or supported on straight poles on top of TL-1500, TL-1550 or TL-1800 bass enclosures.
