Custom-Engineered Drivers

Turbosound is recognised the world over for designing and building some of the most iconic loudspeakers and subwoofers. We take meticulous care and pride in maintaining that reputation by utilising only drivers designed and specified by ourselves to our exacting standards.

Enclosure Design

The low distortion design utilised in the TQ18B reinforces the low frequency spectrum in program or live music, steep cut-off slopes and Large singular DLP Technology (Diverging Lens Port) ensure an effective acoustic transition for use with TQ series elements.

Construction and Connectivity

Finished in a highly durable semi matt black paint, the cabinet is constructed from 15 mm (5/8") and 18 mm (3/4”) plywood – and includes a rugged powder coated cloth wrapped perforated steel mesh grille. The rear panel connector plate carries industry standard twist-lock speaker connectors for input and link connections to additional enclosures. The front grille also has an industry-standard connector to allow neat cabling when the enclosure is deployed in cardioid mode.

Integration with Lab Gruppen PLM+

With the ever-increasing complexity of modern-day sound systems. Seamless integration with the Lab Gruppen PLM+ is a prerequisite for the TQ series from Turbosound. Our engineers have prepared and meticulously designed a series of presets that will allow the user to achieve the maximum system performance and consistency possible. These can be found within the download section. Future FIR capable platforms from Lab Gruppen will be supported.
