UK - Turbosound Ltd, the British manufacturer of live performance and installed-sound loudspeakers, is launching two new models in its fast-selling TXD series of passive loudspeakers at PLASA. Also being shown is the first model in a new range of TSB sub-bass enclosures, as well as further developments in Turbosound's QLight series.

Introduced earlier this year, Turbosound's highly successful TXD series is aimed at the club, DJ and live performance markets, and has already proved to be one of the company's fastest-selling product lines. Being launched at PLASA is the ultra-compact TXD-081, a passive 8" two-way loudspeaker designed for club, bar and restaurants installs, plus the TXD-252 - a 2 x 15" + 2" trapezoidal combo, which looks set to become a firm favourite with pub bands and DJs. Both the new models share the same features that have made the TXD systems such a success - a thermal overload protection system (TOPS), which ensures high frequency driver reliability, plus robust birch plywood construction, high-grade crossover components and built-in rigging points.

Turbosound's new range of compact sub-bass cabinets is kicked off by the TSB-110. A dual-coil 10" band-pass design, it enables up to six satellite speakers to be connected via the internal passive crossover in a stereo configuration. The TSB-110 is powerful enough to generate up to 125dB max SPL (peak) of sub-bass energy, from an enclosure volume of less than two cubic feet.

In Turbosound's QLight series, the self-powered TQ-308SP has secured its place in the corporate and audio-visual dry hire market, and is now joined by an all-passive version, the TQ-308. A space-saving, asymmetrical trapezoidal cabinet makes the TQ-308 ideal for installation use, as well as rental applications, and also allows it to double as a powerful, yet discreet, floor monitor. The three-way TQ-440, mainstay of the QLight series, is the subject of a backwards-compatible performance upgrade that improves HF directivity and optimizes the co-axial driver loading.

Turbosound can be found on stand EE20 at PLASA.
