About the Turbosound TBV123-AN-UL Arrayable 2-Way 12" Constant Curvature Loudspeaker with Dendritic Waveguide, Klark Teknik DSP Technology and ULTRANET Networking
The Turbosound TBV123-AN-UL is a sophisticated arrayable loudspeaker engineered for high-output applications requiring precise vertical control and seamless system integration. It features a 12-inch low-frequency driver paired with a high-frequency compression driver mounted to a proprietary Dendritic Waveguide, which shapes the acoustic output to produce a well-defined, constant curvature coverage pattern. This design is critical for creating uniform sound fields when multiple enclosures are combined into a vertical array, allowing for predictable and consistent audience coverage. The loudspeaker is powered by a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier module with integrated Klark Teknik digital signal processing, providing onboard control over crossover, equalization, dynamics, and time alignment to optimize performance for each specific deployment.
A core technological advancement in this model is its integration with the ULTRANET digital audio networking protocol. This allows the TBV123-AN-UL to function as an intelligent, networked component within a larger audio system, capable of receiving digital audio, control data, and remote monitoring over a single Ethernet cable. This connectivity eliminates traditional analog signal runs, reduces potential noise and signal degradation, and enables centralized management of the entire array's parameters from a digital mixer interface. The combination of the Dendritic Waveguide's acoustic precision and ULTRANET's digital control creates a powerful tool for system designers, offering both exceptional sonic performance and streamlined operational workflows in complex installations.
The enclosure is constructed from rugged, multi-ply birch and finished with a durable coating, built to withstand the demands of both touring and permanent installation. It incorporates precision array rigging hardware that allows for quick, secure interconnection of multiple cabinets with adjustable splay angles to form a seamless curved array. This makes the TBV123-AN-UL ideal for applications such as live sound reinforcement for touring acts, fixed installations in performing arts centers and houses of worship, and any venue requiring high-fidelity, high-SPL coverage with exceptional pattern control. The product represents a fusion of advanced acoustic engineering, networked digital intelligence, and robust physical design for the most demanding professional audio environments.
