About the Turbosound TCS122/96-R Arrayable 2 Way 12" Full Range Loudspeaker with Dendritic Waveguide for Installation Applications, 90° H x 60° V Dispersion (Weather Resistant)
The Turbosound TCS122/96-R is a professional-grade, arrayable two-way loudspeaker specifically engineered for demanding fixed installation applications where environmental resilience and precise acoustic control are required. This system features a 12-inch low-frequency transducer and a 1.4-inch exit compression driver, critically coupled to a proprietary Dendritic Waveguide. This advanced waveguide technology is engineered to produce a consistent and well-defined 90° horizontal by 60° vertical dispersion pattern, providing wide, even coverage that minimizes harsh off-axis reflections and ensures intelligibility throughout the listening area. The cabinet's construction is built to a weather-resistant specification, allowing for reliable deployment in covered outdoor environments, atriums, swimming pool areas, and other locations where humidity and environmental particulates are a concern.
As a passive design, the loudspeaker relies on external amplification and system processing, offering integrators the flexibility to choose amplifiers that match the scale and power requirements of the installation. Its voicing and component selection are optimized for high efficiency and power handling, enabling it to produce high sound pressure levels with exceptional clarity for both music and speech reinforcement. The enclosure is constructed from robust, multi-ply birch plywood and finished with a textured, black polyurethane coating that provides protection against moisture and physical wear. Integrated rigging points and array-specific hardware allow multiple cabinets to be mechanically linked to form vertical arrays, enabling system designers to tailor coverage for tall or deep spaces with a coherent, sonically uniform sound field.
The loudspeaker's design emphasizes long-term reliability and installation versatility. Key elements such as the corrosion-resistant steel grille and treated components safeguard the internal transducers from environmental challenges. Its arrayability is a central feature, with precision-machined rigging hardware enabling technicians to create scalable systems with controlled vertical splay angles. Whether used as a single point-source cabinet for zone coverage or as part of a larger array for main left-right systems, the TCS122/96-R delivers the combination of acoustic precision, rugged construction, and deployment flexibility necessary for high-performance commercial, hospitality, and institutional audio installations.
