7. FLASHLIGHT SERIES ENGINEERING The Flashlight TFS 780 System is a fully integrated long throw sound reinforcement system in an extremely compact and manageable form It is supplied as a system package comprising loudspeaker enclosures amplifier racks a system controller and all the requisite cables and connectors This combination of components is configured as the ideal building block for the creation of spherical arrays providing a formidable system for large arena use The Flashlight system is easily capable of delivering full range 30 20kHz very low distortion coherent sound in the biggest indoor or outdoor venues The TFS 780H uses very narrow dispersion pattern components These are further developments of Turbosound s Proportional Directivity in a very high O enclosure and enables seamless coverage over a massive area with anything from 1 2 to 1 4 the number of conventional enclosures depending on the distance from the array In reality this also means that many applications that would normally require distributed delays will no longer need them The loudspeakers are divided into two uniformly sized enclosures the TFS 780L and the TFS 780H The TFS 780L covers the low frequencies in the range 30 150Hz and contains a 21 loudspeaker with a 6 voice coil loaded with a TurboBass device The TFS 780H consists of two specially developed long throw TurboMid devices and a high O 25mm 1 waveguide horn The large
