About the Turbosound TCS122-FP-R-WH Fly Plate Kit for TCS122 Loudspeakers (Weather Resistant, White)
The Turbosound TCS122-FP-R-WH is a specialized rigging component designed to enable the secure and reliable overhead flying of its corresponding compact loudspeaker cabinets in both indoor and outdoor environments. This fly plate kit is engineered specifically for the TCS122 model, providing a dedicated, load-rated interface that transforms the portable loudspeaker into a permanently or temporarily installed solution. Its construction emphasizes both strength and environmental resilience, featuring a robust steel core and a durable white powder-coat finish that protects against corrosion from humidity, rain, and temperature fluctuations. This allows the loudspeakers to be deployed confidently in covered outdoor venues, pavilions, or challenging indoor locations like pools and atriums where moisture is a concern.
The kit's design centers on safety and user efficiency, incorporating multiple, precisely positioned mounting points that distribute the significant dynamic loads encountered during suspension. It attaches directly to the loudspeaker's integral rigging points, creating a unified and secure assembly that meets rigorous professional safety standards. The geometry of the plate is calculated to provide the optimal center of gravity and trim height for the flown cabinet, ensuring stable and predictable behavior when hoisted. Installation is streamlined, typically involving a set of high-grade, corrosion-resistant bolts that are included, allowing for a secure and permanent attachment to the loudspeaker enclosure.
Functionally, this accessory unlocks significant deployment versatility, allowing the compact two-way loudspeakers to be flown singly, in pairs, or as part of a larger distributed audio system where floor or stand placement is impractical or undesirable. By elevating the sound source, it improves audience sightlines and facilitates superior acoustic coverage from an optimal height. The inclusion of secondary attachment points often allows for the daisy-chaining of safety cables, adding a critical redundant layer of protection. As a complete, manufacturer-approved solution, this fly plate kit ensures that the audio performance of the loudspeakers is matched by the mechanical integrity and safety of their installation.
