About the Turbosound TCS152-FP-WH Fly Plate Kit for TCS152 Loudspeakers (White)
The Turbosound TCS152-FP-WH is a dedicated white fly plate hardware kit engineered to enable the secure overhead suspension of compatible TCS152 loudspeakers. This specialized rigging component provides the critical interface between the loudspeaker cabinet and a certified suspension system, such as a motor, truss, or flying frame. The kit includes the essential mounting plates and associated high-grade hardware necessary to convert the loudspeaker into a flyable unit, designed to meet the rigorous safety standards required for permanent installation and touring applications. Its construction focuses on delivering maximum strength and reliability, utilizing robust materials and precision engineering to ensure the loudspeaker remains securely anchored when deployed in flown arrays.
Installation involves attaching the fly plates directly to the loudspeaker's integral rigging points using the supplied bolts and washers, creating a rigid and secure attachment frame. The design of the plates typically offers multiple connection points or a central forged steel ring, providing flexibility for riggers to use various standard flying hardware like shackles or carabiners. This allows for adjustments in the angle and orientation of the cabinet to achieve the desired acoustic coverage and array geometry. The white finish of the plates is specifically chosen to match the aesthetic of white-finished TCS152 cabinets, ensuring a cohesive and visually discreet appearance when installed in venues where speaker visibility is a consideration.
Safety is the paramount concern in the design of such rigging components. The fly plate kit is manufactured with a significant safety factor, meaning its rated load capacity far exceeds the weight of the loudspeaker it is intended to support. This accounts for dynamic forces encountered during raising, lowering, and performance, such as acceleration, deceleration, and vibration. By using this manufacturer-approved flyware, installers and system integrators ensure that the loudspeaker is suspended in accordance with its design specifications, maintaining system integrity and, most importantly, safeguarding personnel and audiences below. The TCS152-FP-WH kit embodies the essential link between high-performance audio and the secure, professional practices of aerial deployment.
