About the Turbosound TCS152-FP Fly Plate Kit for TCS152 Loudspeakers
The Turbosound TCS152-FP is a dedicated heavy-duty fly plate hardware kit engineered to enable the secure overhead suspension of compatible TCS152 loudspeakers. This essential rigging component provides the critical mechanical interface between the loudspeaker cabinet and a certified suspension system, such as a chain motor or fixed flying frame, converting the speaker into a safely flyable unit for permanent installation and touring applications. The kit includes robust, precision-machined mounting plates and all associated high-grade steel hardware, designed and tested to meet rigorous international safety standards. Its construction prioritizes maximum tensile strength and long-term reliability, ensuring the loudspeaker remains securely anchored when deployed in flown arrays or as a single suspended element, even under dynamic loads.
Installation is a streamlined process, with the fly plates attaching directly to the loudspeaker's integral M10 threaded rigging points using the supplied high-tensile bolts and washers, forming a rigid and secure attachment frame. The design incorporates a central forged steel lifting ring or multiple heavy-duty connection points, providing riggers with the flexibility to use various standard flying hardware like shackles or carabiners. This allows for precise adjustment of the cabinet's tilt angle to achieve the optimal acoustic orientation for audience coverage. The plates are finished in a durable black powder coat, matching the standard finish of the TCS152 cabinets for a cohesive and professional appearance.
Safety is the foundational principle governing the design of this component. The fly plate kit is manufactured with a substantial safety factor, meaning its rated load capacity far exceeds the static weight of the loudspeaker it is intended to support. This critical engineering margin accounts for dynamic forces such as acceleration, deceleration, and vibrational energy encountered during rigging procedures and high-SPL operation. By utilizing this manufacturer-approved flyware, system integrators and technicians ensure the loudspeaker is suspended in strict accordance with its engineered specifications, maintaining the structural integrity of the audio system and, most importantly, safeguarding personnel and audiences below. The TCS152-FP is thus an indispensable component for the professional aerial deployment of these high-performance loudspeakers.
