About the Turbosound TFM152M-AN-UL Co-axial 2500 Watt 2-Way 15" Stage Monitor with Klark Teknik DSP Technology and ULTRANET
The Turbosound TFM152M-AN-UL is a high-performance, powered stage monitor engineered to deliver exceptional clarity and precise audio localization for performers, integrating advanced digital control and networking capabilities. This monitor utilizes a co-axial driver design, where a 15-inch low-frequency transducer and a high-frequency compression driver share a common acoustic axis, ensuring a coherent point-source wavefront. This configuration provides performers with a focused, accurate, and phase-coherent representation of their mix, improving articulation and reducing listening fatigue. The monitor is powered by a substantial 2500-watt peak Class-D amplifier module that is digitally optimized for the co-axial driver, delivering immense headroom and dynamic range to remain clean and articulate even at high stage volumes.
A cornerstone of this monitor's functionality is its integrated Klark Teknik digital signal processing (DSP) and ULTRANET networking. The onboard DSP provides comprehensive control over the audio signal, including configurable parametric EQ, notch filtering for feedback suppression, precision limiting for driver protection, and crossover optimization. The inclusion of the ULTRANET protocol transforms the monitor into an intelligent network device, capable of receiving pristine digital audio, control data, and remote monitoring signals over a single Ethernet cable from a compatible digital mixer. This allows sound engineers to manage multiple monitor mixes, individual EQ settings, and output levels for an entire stage setup from a central location, dramatically simplifying setup and enabling real-time adjustments during a performance.
The enclosure is constructed from durable, multi-ply birch and finished in a rugged black textured coating, designed to withstand the physical demands of touring. Its low-profile, trapezoidal shape is optimized for stage placement, providing a stable base and allowing multiple units to be arrayed neatly. The angled front baffle projects sound upward toward the performer while minimizing stage wash. With its combination of coherent co-axial acoustics, high-power amplification, sophisticated networked DSP, and road-ready construction, the TFM152M-AN-UL represents a state-of-the-art stage monitoring solution that prioritizes sonic accuracy, system integration, and reliability for the most demanding professional touring and installation applications.
