TQ12M
The 2-way full range TQ12M is a switchable passive/bi-amp 1,720 Watt 12" loudspeaker system that is ideally suited for all professional stage monitor reinforcement applications. The TQ12M is designed to work in conjunction with Lab Gruppen PLM+ and IPX amplification and provides optimal performance for stage monitoring.
Custom-Engineered Drivers and Waveguides
Turbosound is recognised the world over for designing and building some of the most iconic loudspeakers and subwoofers. We take meticulous care and pride in maintaining that reputation by utilising only drivers designed specifically for each application – it’s what sets us apart from the competition. The TQ12M loudspeaker features an FEM optimized common motor 12" neodymium low frequency driver as well as a titanium and polyimide dome 1.4" exit, 3” voice coil neodymium high frequency compression driver, which is mounted on a 40° horizontal by 60° vertical dispersion low Aluminium zero ring custom horn. This also acts as a heatsink from the motor assembly, reducing power compression insuring consistent performance over extended durations.
Plywood Construction
Finished in a highly durable semi matt PU black paint, the cabinet is constructed from 12 and 15 mm (½" and 5/8") plywood. It includes a rugged powder coated cloth wrapped perforated steel mesh grille. The TQ12M includes a convenient pole mount socket for use with 35 mm poles/speaker stands to optimise coverage and side handles for easy transport. The side panels carry two industry-standard twist-locking speaker connectors for input and link connections to additional enclosures, a high-power recessed toggle switch allows switching between passive and bi-amp modes. TQ12M’s low profile design provides improved audience line of sight for seamless integration into any stage application.
