TCS152/64-R Passive Speaker Turbosound

ATHENS TCS152/64-R

Weather resistant for outdoor use to IP54, the 2,400 Watt TCS152/64-R arrayable two-way 15" loudspeaker system is ideally suited for a wide range of speech and music sound reinforcement applications. The TCS152/64-R is designed to work in conjunction with TURBOSOUND loudspeaker management systems, providing optimal FOH performance, as well as offering considerable flexibility to readily adapt to varying venue requirements.

The TCS152/64-R features a carbon fibre loaded 15" low frequency driver with inside/outside wound coil for improved transient response. The titanium dome 1.4" neodymium motor compression driver is mounted on a rotatable 60° horizontal by 40° vertical proprietary Dendritic waveguide, which features multiple hornlets with identical path lengths to provide a flat constant-phase wavefront. When the waveguide is rotated 90° from the standard position a 40° horizontal by 60° vertical dispersion is achieved, making the TCS152/64-R ideal for an even broader range of applications.

Finished in a highly durable weather resistant semi matt black paint, the trapezoidal cabinet is constructed from 15 mm (5⁄8") birch plywood – and includes a rugged outdoor powder coated perforated zinc plated steel mesh grille. Multiple rigging points allow bracket mount suspension in any orientation, or mounting with dedicated brackets – available separately. A dedicated range of fly plates and coupler kits are also available separately for constructing tightly packed custom full-range and subwoofer enclosure arrays for aesthetically pleasing and venue specific coverage requirements. Connectivity is provided in the form of a captive cable tail, which enters the cabinet by means of a sealed cable gland on an aluminium panel.
