The new Turbosound Flashline is a turnkey system, including line array and sub frequency loudspeakers, control electronics and amplification, rigging hardware, racks, and transportation dollies and cases, in a powerful and space-efficient format.

Flashline incorporates the sophisticated Lab.gruppen powered loudspeaker management platform with Lake processing and Dante networking for the exceptional system control and operational consistency.

A new Dendritic/Polyhorn waveguide insures near-perfect dispersion behavior in both horizontal and vertical planes, giving very uniform audience coverage.

The Flashline system is uniquely configured as a 5-way system with the TFS-900H’s output covering four frequency bands from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, while the TFS-900B subwoofer provides sub-bass frequencies down to 35 Hz.

The loudspeaker complement comprises a total of 11 custom designed drive units: three high-frequency compression drivers loaded by a Dendritic waveguide, two 6.5-inch high-mid drivers loaded by a Dendritic waveguide, four horn-loaded 6.5-inch low-mid frequency drivers, and two horn-loaded 12-inch low-frequency drivers that utilize both front and rear cone radiation for maximum efficiency.

The rigging hardware is fully integrated into the end-cheeks on each side of the TFS-900H cabinet, which also provide grab handle positions. Drop links at the front and rear of the box engage in the flygear of the box above in the array to give a range of inter-cabinet angles from 0 to 5 degrees.

TFS-900H cabinets are normally transported four-up on the TFS-DOLLY wheel dolly and can be flown right off the dolly in blocks of four, with the rigging hardware already pre-configured for use. A simple TFS-GRID and TFS-TIP system is used to fly a typical array; no additional external parts are required to fly the system.

Driver maintenance can be performed without removing cabinets from the dolly because all the drivers can be accessed either from the front (the entire mid/high section is removeable) or from the rear via the driver access doors.

Amplification is provided in the form of the 20000DP 4-channel amplifier with Lake processing and Dante networking built in. The power capability of the TFS-900H’s four frequency bands exactly matches the output of the 20000DP’s four output channels, with only four racks of three amplifiers required to deliver optimum energy transfer into a system of 18 TFS-900H tops and 12 TFS-900B subs.

The TFS-900H cabinet is constructed from 15mm birch plywood (the TFS-900B subwoofer is 18mm). Both cabinets are finished in black TourTough finish with IP54 rated stainless steel perforated grilles. A recessed rear panel carries two parallel-linked Speakon NL8 connectors for input and loop-through connections.

The new Flash is really flashing. I hope it can be tough to beat some welknown speakers. Question is what's the price. With the present economy would it be compatible?
