Installation and setup should only be carried out by qualied and authorised personnel observing the valid local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your
country. If any parts or components are missing please contact your dealer before attempting to set up the system.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure that the suspension/xing points are suitable for the intended use.
We also recommend you schedule Turbosound training with our sales partners and applications team.
Equipment used to connect to the Turbosound rigging system must be properly rated and must conform to the local, state and other safety regulations. Do not
use Turbosound rigging with other types or brands of loudspeakers. This practice may compromise safety standards and Music Tribe Global Brands Ltd will not be
responsible for damage or injury so caused. Do not modify the accessories, or use them in a way other than that described in this QSG. Rigging components supplied as
part of a complete assembly are non-interchangeable and must not be exchanged with the component parts of any other assembly.
Welding, or any other means of permanently xing rigging components to each other or to cabinet xing points is not allowed. Rigging components or assemblies
must only be xed to Turbosound loudspeaker cabinets using the cabinet xing points.
Music Tribe Global Brands Ltd assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular
checks must be conducted by qualied personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the product is suspended,
the area underneath the product is free of human trac. Do not suspend the product in areas which can be entered or used by members of the public.
Always refer to EASE Focus 3 modeling software error and warning indications prior to installation.
Secondary Safeties
All loudspeakers own in theatres, studios or other places of work and entertainment shall, in addition to the principle load bearing means of suspension, be provided
with an independent, properly rated, and securely attached secondary safety. Only steel wire ropes or steel chains of an approved construction and load rating shall be
used as secondary safeties. Plastic-covered steel wire ropes are not permitted for use as secondary safeties.
The secondary safety suspension must be independent of the primary suspension points and capable of carrying the total system weight. The additional safety device
must be mounted in a way that the loudspeaker is caught by the safety device without any drop and swing, in the event that the primary suspension fails.
Operational Safety
The procedures require the use of two or more authorised persons.
Produce a lift plan: before any lift takes place, you must formulate a lift plan that describes the exact steps and procedures that will be carried out.
The plan must be shared with all assistants and stake-holders in the lift so that each person will understand their responsibilities.
Observe all instructions given on the respective instruction labels of the rigging components and loudspeakers.
When using chain hoists, make sure nobody is directly underneath or in the vicinity of the loudspeakers.
During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing.
Wear suitable protective clothing.

Safety Inspections
Carefully inspect rigging system components and cabinets for defects or signs of damage before proceeding to assemble the speaker to be own. If any parts are
damaged or suspect, or if there is any doubt as to the proper functioning and safety of the items DO NOT USE THEM and withdraw them from use immediately.
System Requirements
TQ8, TQ10, TQ12, and TQ15 full range speakers operate as a passive system and require only one amplier channel and DSP for normal forward ring operation;
Cardioid bass set ups will require additional amplier and DSP channels.
All TQ series loudspeakers exclusively use Lake pre-sets via Lab Gruppen PLM+ and D series L platforms, Lab Gruppen IPX Series pre-sets will be released in due time.
No 3rd-party amplier and DSP platforms are supported, no raw pre-set data is released or supported.
TQ series has a powerful yet simple pre-set strategy utilizing the latest functionality of LAKE XP software.
Pre-set data is found either via Lake LOAD Library (https://www.labgruppen.com/downloads.html) or can be downloaded from https://www.turbosound.com/
downloads.html
Recommended Lab Gruppen PLM+ models for Touring applications are the PLM12k44 and PLM20k44.
For installations using Lab Gruppen D series L models, please use Lab Gruppen ‘CAFE’ software - available for download from www.labgruppen.com -
to determine the optimum amplier conguration for your system.
System Cabling Requirements
To avoid wasting amplier power, you should use heavy-duty speaker cable with a minimum wire size of 2.5 mm² (14 AWG), and preferably 4 mm² (12 AWG)
for longer runs or where total cabinet input impedance is less than 8 ohms. For extreme cable lengths, be aware of cable impedance and resistive losses.
Always observe the correctpolarity.
Use genuine NEUTRIK SPEAKON CONNECTORS for reliable operation.
Attach and support the speaker cables from your ampliers to the loudspeaker cabinets, so that no signicant additional weight or lateral force is applied to the
speakers by the input wiring. Input cables or link cables should never be used to angle the speakers or used as rigging in any way.
Stereo System Example
NOTE: Since the TQ cabinet is wired (1+/- = FR and 2+/- = Link), use (Speaker Output 1: 1 +/- and Speaker Output 2: 2 +/- ) for the output patching from the Lab
Gruppen amplier
Depending on how the other channels are used, it may be useful to use an "NL4 to 2-NL2 breakout splitter cable," as shown in the example below.
The NL4 end uses Pin 1 +/- and Pin 2 +/- and both NL2 ends need to be wired Pin 1 +/-

Stereo System Example with Subwoofers
Note: Since the TQ cabinet is wired (1+/- = FR and 2+/- = link), the output patching can be selected from any of the 4 options (1, 2, 3, 4 +/-) from the Lab Gruppen
PLM+ amplier.
Depending on how the other channels are used (for example in a stereo system with two TQ8 and two TQ15B subwoofers) it may be useful to use "NL4 to 2-NL2
breakout splitter cables," as shown in the example below.
The NL4 end uses Pin 1 +/- and Pin 2 +/- and both NL2 ends need to be wired Pin 1 +/-
Note: in this case, do not use the TQ subwoofers front input, as it uses Pin 2+/- connected to the woofer.

Rigging and Acoustic SimulationSoftware
The TQ speakers have 3 optional rigging accessories: TQ-FB y bar, TQ-YB yoke bracket, and the TQ-SB swivel bracket.
These accessories comply with BGV-C1 rigging standards.
The TQ speaker is not an arrayable product. It is supported in Ease Focus 3 in stand-alone use, with Manchester series subwoofers, or as a ll or delay speaker as part of
larger Manchester series systems.
EASE Focus 3 is an acoustic simulation program, available as a free download from https://www.afmg.eu/en/ease-focus
TQ Installation
Safety Warning: Only authorised and
certied personnel shall design and install
suspended congurations. Incorrect
installation may lead to death or permanent injury.
The use of a secondary safety is a mandatory safety
requirement.
The versatile TQ speaker has three feet on the
bottom for standing the speaker on a at surface,
two integral pole mount holes, and M10 mounting
holes with tted hex socket head screws.
TQ series cabinets are designed with multiple
internal rigging points to suit many possible
mounting methods in permanent installations. All
cabinets can be simply suspended using optional
M10 shoulder eyebolts coupled to the internal
rigging points provided. Remove the appropriate
countersunk screws and replace them with eyebolts,
which must have a thread length of at least 18 mm.
Cabinets may be hung upside down if required.
The optional accessories allow the TQ speaker to be
mounted in a number of dierent congurations.
Feet
M10 Mounting Holes with Screws
Badge Rotation
The Turbosound badge is spring-loaded and can be
rotated by hand to suit vertical or horizontal
positioning.
Pole Mount
Two 35 mm holes are provided for pole mounting,
one in the vertical position, and one with the TQ
tilted forward. The TQ can be pole mounted on an
MS121 subwoofer, or on a suitable tripod stand.
We recommend using a 35 mm pole with an M20
thread at the lower end. This type provides more
security and will screw into the top receptacle of the
MS121 subwoofer.
Fly Bar TQ-FB
The optional TQ-FB y bar allows the speaker to be
own. The TQ-FB ts the TQ8, TQ10, TQ12, and TQ15
speakers. It has ten pick points for attaching shackles,
and it bolts to the top or bottom of the TQ speaker.
The y bar ts to the top or bottom of the TQ speaker
using two of the existing M10 screws as shown.
Securely tighten both screws.

10 TQ Series Quick Start Guide 11
The ybar has 10x 12.5 mm diameter holes that are
used as pick points for rigging shackles. The space
between each rail of the TQ-FB allows for a standard
1 ton bow shackle to be used to pick up the TQ.
Either style of shackle will work:
W.L.L = 1 Ton
A= 10 mm
B= 11 mm
C= 17 mm
D= 36.5 mm
Yoke Bracket TQ8-YB, TQ10-YB, TQ12-YB, and
TQ15-YB
The optional yoke bracket allows the TQ speakers to
be own using suitable hook clamps or couplers to
securely mount to a own truss. The yoke bracket is
available in 4 sizes to t each of the speakers in the
TQ series: TQ8-YB, TQ10-YB, TQ12-YB, and TQ15-YB.
Ratcheting handles are provided on either side to
help angle the speakers accurately and secure them.
The yoke bracket ts to the sides of the TQ speaker,
by screwing the handles into the existing M10
mounting holes on each side. Note that the yoke
bracket is oriented as shown.
Adjust the speaker tilt to the desired angle, and then
tighten the handles to secure the speaker in position.
If the yoke bracket is to be bolted to a ceiling or other
surface, then secure the yoke bracket rst.
Then lift the speaker and attach it to the yoke
bracket with the handles. Adjust the speaker angle
and tighten the handles.
Pole Mount SA-35
The optional SA-35 bracket allows the yoke bracket
to support the TQ speaker on a 35 mm pole mount or
tripod. Note that the yoke bracket is oriented
as shown.
The SA-35 bracket attaches to the yoke bracket with
two screws.
The assembly can then be added to a 35mm pole
mounted to an MS121 subwoofer, or to a suitable
tripod. Tighten the SA-35 ratchet handle to secure
the assembly to the pole or tripod. Adjust the
speaker tilt as desired and tighten the handles on
each side.
Swivel Bracket TQ8-SB, TQ10-SB, TQ12-SB,
and TQ15-SB
The optional swivel bracket allows the TQ speakers
to be ceiling or wall mounted horizontally, or
truss-mounted using suitable hook clamps. The
swivel bracket is available in 4 sizes to t each of the
speakers in the TQ series: TQ8-SB, TQ10-SB, TQ12-SB,
and TQ15-SB.
The speaker angle can be accurately set and clamped
in position. Two concentric rows of holes allow for a
wide range of angle adjustment, and this is held in
position with a clamp/handle screw.
If the swivel bracket is to be bolted to a ceiling or
other surface, then secure the bracket rst.
Add the small bracket to the top side of the TQ
speaker, using the existing M10 mounting screws as
shown. There is a large washer there as well.
Attach the large plate to the bottom of the speaker,
using the existing M10 screws. It covers the pole
mount holes as shown.
Center the large washer, and then add the swivel
bracket and secure it with the center screw and the
handle screw.
Secure the other end of the swivel bracket with the
supplied screw. Set the speaker at the desired angle
and tighten the handle screw and center screws on
either end of the swivel bracket.
Horn Rotation
The MF/HF Horn assembly provides an 80 degree
horizontal beamwidth, and a 30 degree vertical
beamwidth, when the TQ is mounted vertically
(portrait).
The horn assembly can be removed and reinstalled in
a dierent orientation to suit desired congurations
and coverage. For example, if the speaker is used in
landscape mode, you can rotate the horn to maintain
the 80 degrees horizontal and 30 degree vertical
beamwidths. (This is a typical example of the need
for horn rotation.)
The horn is marked on the front with the
beamwidth angles.
Follow the procedure below to rotate the horn:
Remove the grille by pressing on any corner and
carefully prying it out with a generic trim
removal tool.
Remove the screws in each corner of the
horn assembly.
Carefully pull the horn assembly forward, just
enough to be able to rotate the assembly to the
desired orientation.
Reinstall the horn with the 4 screws. Make sure the
wiring is intact and not pinched.
Reinstall the grille, and make a note that the speaker
has been modied.

Lake Preset Overlays and ApplicationNotes
All TQ series loudspeakers exclusively use Lake XP pre-sets via Lab Gruppen PLM+ and D series L platforms and the forthcoming IPX FiR-X pre-sets.
No other amplier and DSP platforms are supported.
The TQ series has a powerful yet simple pre-set strategy utilizing the latest functionality of Lake software, along with new BLEQ overlays.
Pre-set data is found either via the Lake Load Library, or can be downloaded from www.turbosound.com
TQ8, TQ10, TQ12, TQ15 loudspeakers each have individual 1 way passive FIR base pre-sets (1 channel DSP/AMP), full range with or without Subwoofers.
CAUTION: Do not combine TQ8, TQ10, TQ12, TQ15 loudspeakers on the same amplier / DSP circuit. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to
damage to the equipment.
CAUTION: Pay careful attention to output patching.
CAUTION: Pay careful attention to the HF Horn orientation, and select the HR preset if the HF Horn has been rotated.
TQ8, TQ10, TQ12, TQ15 modules are based on the XP module from Lake software.
This QSG refers to REV1.1 XP presets.
Lake software V7.0.7 or above must be used.
LakeXP signal ow:
The download of the Lake controller includes the Lake Controller Operation Manual, which is a full tutorial of the Lake Controller and compatible hardware such as
PLM+ series ampliers
Within this QSG, we focus on the Turbosound TQ series workow and pre-set strategy, and assume basic working knowledge of the Lake Controller.

EQ STRATEGY ILLUSTRATION
The TQ8/10/12/15 speakers have a 2 band EQ (BLEQ)
inserted.
The BLEQ acts as a level control for LF/HF and the 2
centre frequencies of the BLEQ relate to the crossover
points of the LF/HF.
The BLEQ is oered for users to adjust tonal balance of
the system along with PEQ overlay and group overlays
(system design dependant)
Examples of BLEQ use
Flat
LF Cut and HF Boost
DESCRIPTION OVERLAY
Output Conguration:
Now you can patch the DSP module output to the
frame's amplier outputs
For the full range TQ series speakers we want full range
to pins 1. The patch is highlighted in yellow boxes with
red text
Once you have nished the correct output patch, press
enter to close the output conguration
Note: you will get access to the screen once you
go through the same process to load other pre-set
modules into the free B, C, and D modules or via the IO
option button
Now you can see the pre-set module is recalled and
loaded into A/B hardware modules
Only 1 channel of DSP and Amplier are required

18 TQ Series Quick Start Guide 19
SUBWOOFER TIMEALIGNMENT ILLUSTRATION OVERLAY
The TQ15B/TQ18B subwoofer pre-sets use
all-pass lters to set the initial time alignment
(assuming the fronts of the cabinets are in line)
this greatly reduces systemlatency.
For example: If the fronts of the TQ speaker and
TQ15B/TQ18B subwoofer are aligned, then in
both pre-sets, the delay should be set to the
default, which is0ms.
However, it is not always possible to have the
own speakers and the ground stacked bass
aligned in the verticalplane.
1. In this example, the TQ15B/TQ18B subs are
‘forward’ of the TQ speakers, and so the TQ15B/
TQ18B subs need to be delayed.
1. Subs areforward
Delay adjustment of subwoofers
2. In this example, the own TQ speaker is
‘forward’ of the TQ15B/TQ18B ground stacked
subs, and so the TQ needs to bedelayed.
How do you nd the correct delay time to align
the own speakers to the ground stackedbass?
Some basic knowledge of delay units can
get you an acceptable result by measuring
the distance between the fronts of the own
speaker and the front of the ground stacked
array. Remember within Lake software you can
choose the delay unit; ms, m, orfeet.
1 ms (milliseconds) = 0.343 m (meters) = 1.125
ft (feet)
Further ne-tuning can be done by using one
of the many industry standard measurement
software systems, reference microphones and
sound-cards. Lake software oers integration
to many of these software systems, and further
information can be found at www.labgruppen.
