About the Turbosound TCS110B 10" Band Pass Subwoofer for Installation Applications
The Turbosound TCS110B is a compact yet powerful bandpass subwoofer designed for installation applications where space is at a premium but dedicated low-frequency reinforcement is required. Utilizing a specialized bandpass enclosure design, it houses a 10-inch long-excursion driver within a tuned acoustic system that consists of a sealed rear chamber and a vented front chamber. This sixth-order alignment is engineered to maximize output and efficiency within a specific, reinforced frequency band, delivering punchy, articulate bass that excels in the upper bass and lower midrange frequencies. This makes it particularly effective for augmenting speech intelligibility, reinforcing music in background and foreground systems, and providing low-end support in smaller venues such as conference rooms, retail spaces, bars, and compact houses of worship.
As a passive design, the TCS110B offers system integrators flexibility, working with external amplifiers and DSP processors to tailor its performance to the specific acoustic environment. Its optimized Thiele-Small parameters and enclosure tuning provide a natural acoustic filter that limits very low subsonic energy, which can help protect the driver when used with amplifiers lacking sophisticated processing. The cabinet is constructed from multi-ply birch plywood and finished in a durable black textured coating, ensuring longevity in commercial environments. A sturdy steel grille protects the driver, while the compact form factor allows for discreet placement under furniture, in built-in cabinetry, or mounted on walls and ceilings using optional brackets.
Despite its smaller driver size, the bandpass design enables the TCS110B to produce a perceived output greater than that of many similarly sized vented enclosures, making it an efficient and space-conscious solution. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with full-range loudspeakers from the series, providing a cohesive sonic character. For system designers, this subwoofer provides a practical and effective tool for adding controlled, impactful bass to distributed audio systems and smaller main systems where a larger subwoofer would be impractical, ensuring full-range sound reproduction without compromising on clarity or physical footprint.
