Debut for Flex Array at PALME Middle East

Turbosound, along with its U.A.E. distributor Reference Audio, will be at this year's PALME Middle East exhibition in Dubai at the end of April to launch its new Flex Array and Impact Series of loudspeakers in to the region.

The trade show takes place from the 27th to 29th April, 2008 at the Dubai International Exhibitions Centre. Over 300 companies will be showcasing thousands of brands at the region’s only exhibition for professional sound, light, music, audio visual and systems integration technologies.

Tim McCall, Middle East & Asia Market Manager for Turbosound says of the exhibition: "PALME has grown to be a very useful and business-like show which attracts customers from across the whole region. It gives us a great opportunity to showcase our new and existing product ranges to this diverse and growing market."

As well as Flex Array and Impact, two new ranges that were launched to the European market at ProLight+Sound in Germany in early March, a wide selection of products will be on show from Turbosound's ranges of loudspeaker sound systems, including the already established Aspect® TA-890, TA-500 Aspect Wide and NuQ.

"We feel Flex Array will be the star of the show; it has been incredibly well received since its launch due to its ability to act as a point or line source, combined with the promise of the audio quality of Turbosound's legendary signature sound, have generated massive interest and orders. As with all our current and planned products, Flex Array goes to prove that Turbosound is the sound of technology."

Elias Amouni, Director of Reference Audio, comments, "The PALME show should prove to be the perfect launch pad for Flex Array in the region. The size, specification and flexibility of Flex Array make it an ideal product for our markets.

"We have had a lot of very serious interest in this system since its launch last month. The PALME show will give everyone the opportunity to discuss the technologies used in Flex Array and the benefits they can bring to both rental and install companies. Meanwhile we will use the show to push forward with the great success we are having with the existing Aspect, NuQ and TCS Compact products in projects across the Gulf region."

Turbosound and Reference Audio will be on stand 6C20 in the Dubai International Exhibition Centre.

About the new products
Flex Array is a medium–scale professional sound reinforcement system that combines elements of Turbosound's patented point source system with well proven line array technology, resulting in a truly versatile, one-box-fits-all loudspeaker product suitable for a huge variety of venue types. By simply changing the orientation of the cabinet, one enclosure type is capable of being used in either line array or point source configurations. The ability to rotate the mid/high waveguide within the enclosure gives additional flexibility of use from only one type of box.

The all-new Flex Array system has been designed from the ground up, resulting from a three-year development cycle closely related to the development of the Polyhorn™, and utilises Turbosound's patent pending Dendritic horn, which produces a line source element with superior directional qualities together with trademark Turbosound clarity and definition. All neodymium drive units ensure that weight is kept to a minimum for easy trucking and handling.

Flex Array is fully arrayable with flyware integrated into the box for rapid setup with no external parts, or can be used with external yokes and brackets for semi-permanent and fixed installations. The horn-loaded low frequency cabinet utilises a high power neodymium 18" drive unit and can either be flown with mid/highs, or ground stacked. Digitally self-powered versions with integrated lightweight Class D amplifier modules are also available, making Flex Array products ideal for the corporate market as well as for live sound applications.

Catering for the style-led areas of the fixed install market, the new Impact series, builds on the great success of the Impact 50 and Impact 80 since their launch over a decade ago. Now in elegantly styled, paintable, injection moulded enclosures with IP54 weather resistance, the Impact series loudspeakers are perfectly suited to fixed installations in cafés, bars, houses of worship - particularly sensitive locations, where the audio system needs to be as unobtrusive as possible - and leisure facilities, as well as for corporate events.

The series boasts a very neat and practical mounting solution: a wall bracket with integrated electrical connections for extremely fast and easy installation, allowing brackets to be sited and fixed prior to the loudspeakers being on-site. The Impact 55T and Impact 65T both feature internal muti-tapped line transformers for use with 70 volt line and 100 volt line distributed systems in larger commercial installations.
