Congratulations! You’ve joined a fast growing group of people who have chosen the high quality TCS loudspeaker systems. We welcome you and will do our best to satisfy you with your new TCS loudspeaker. In order for you to use this product most effectively, please take some time to read this manual. We have included a great deal of information that will help you achieve optimum performance, sound, and quality from your new loudspeaker system. TCS215 TCS215W The TCS series loudspeakers give you greater response, more power, and more intelligibility than any other two-way speaker system on the market today. We achieved this by using the highest quality components, the best speaker design systems, and over 80 years of combined experience in professional audio engineering. TCS systems provide the ultimate in pro sound for any venue, large or small. TCS loudspeakers are designed to be suspended separately or several different models together to create perfect coverage for a given application. TCS loudspeakers are specifically engineered for optimum performance as front of house speakers, fills, subwoofers, and stage monitors. Set up an entire sound system using Carvin’s TCS series loudspeakers. All TCS loudspeakers are designed around 13 ply Baltic birch enclosures that are engineered to a rated 1000 lbs. tensile strength. Each enclosure incorporates 12 to 16 fly points to create any array cluster desired. TCS enclosures feature 26 ply Baltic birch baffles (except TCS115M and TCS210) to eliminate cabinet resonance and increase overall efficiency. All enclosures include internal bracing for structural stability and support. TCS218 For your records, you may wish to record the following information.

INTERNAL CROSSOVER Each TCS series loudspeaker includes an internal crossover constructed of high quality components such as precision wound inductors, high current resistors, and 250 Volt film capacitors. These components along with high grade FR-4 circuit board material, ensure high quality for many years. The characteristics of the crossover along with the physical alignments of the drivers ensures seamless integration causing a virtually coherent acoustic wavefront as from a single source. All TCS series crossovers are Bi ampable with the exception of the TCS218 and TCS215W. Carvin suggests using the internal crossover at all times in either Full Range or Bi Amp mode as the components work together to form one system. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CAUTION: describes an operating condition or user action that may expose the equipment, user, or other parties to potential damage or danger. WARNING: describes an operating condition or user action that will cause damage to the equipment or injure the user or other parties. OPERATING MODES The switch on the TCS series input panels allows you to select two operating modes: FULL RANGE mode (single amplifier) or BI AMP mode (separate low and high frequency amplifiers). In FULL RANGE mode, the internal crossover of the loudspeakers divide the audio signal into the seperate frequency ranges for each driver. In BI AMP mode, one amplifier is used to power the low frequency drivers and another amplifier is used to power the high frequency drivers. In both modes the internal crossover is active to ensure the best quality sound possible from the loudspeaker. DANGER: describes an operating condition or user action that will immediately damage the equipment or be extremely dangerous or possibly life threatening to the user or other parties.

Twist-lock Housing Contact Insert Cable Clamp Securing Hub CHOOSING THE CORRECT POWER AMPLIFIER CAUTION: It is important to select the proper wattage power amplifier. For optimum performance you need to have enough power from your amplifier . Great care should be taken to not exceed the published power ratings of the loudspeakers. Damage that occurs from overpowering voids the manufacturers warranty. External limiting can be used to avoid this. The first thing to consider when selecting a power amplifier is how loud the system needs to be. This should be determined by the maximum output ratings of the loudspeaker or number of loudspeakers, not by amplifier power. A loudspeaker who’s capability exceeds the needs of the system will always perform well, where as a loudspeaker who’s capability does not meet the needs of the system will likely be pushed beyond it’s capabilities resulting in distortion which may cause failure. Based on these considerations, the choice of power amplifier size should be based on the power rating or just under the power rating of the loudspeaker. CAUTION: If you choose an amplifier under the power rating of the loudspeaker take care not to drive the power amplifier into clipping for extended periods of time as this will permanently damage the loudspeakers again voiding the manufacturers warranty. HI FREQUENCY DRIVERS The TCS115 & TCS215 use Carvin’s TCS3000 high frequency driver. This driver features a 100 oz. magnet, 4” precision wound ferrofluid cooled voice coil, titanium diaphram and surround and a 2” throat exit. This massive driver delivers smooth mids and pristine highs at an incredible 350 W power rating. The TCS115M & TCS210 use Carvin’s HF1100 high frequency driver. This driver features an 88 oz. motor structure, 2” precision wound voice coil, titanium diaphram and a 1” throat exit. This driver delivers crystal clear vocals and sweet highs at a 100 W power rating. LOW FREQUENCY DRIVERS The TCS115, TCS215, TCS215W and the TCS218 all use a special type of heatsinked driver. These drivers incorporate the latest in speaker technology using a 4” precision wound voice coil cooled by a uniquely designed heatsink structure which allows these drivers to handle up to 1500 W each. The massive motor structure drives a very rigid kevlar impregnated paper cone to deliver thunderous lows. The TCS115M & TCS210 use Carvin’s PS15C and PS10 drivers. Both drivers feature kapton voice coil formers, firm surrounds, and impregnated paper cones. Every one of the TCS series loudspeakers are tested to maximum power capacity before shipping to ensure they are free of defects and to guarantee 100% satisfaction.

POLAR PLOTS Polar plots are loudspeaker SPL measurements taken at various rotational positions around the loudspeaker to complete a 360 circle. The purpose of this type of measurement is to analyze the coverage angles of the loudspeaker at different frequencies and to display the frequency respone attenuation from a given listening position. This will help the user to set up arrays to achieve the optimum coverage for a given situation. 0 front of loudspeaker 1k Hz 250 Hz TCS215 0 0 95 3 3 0 3 0 0 85 3 3 0 90 3 0 95 3 3 0 80 85 85 70 6 0 80 3 0 0 75 6 0 3 0 0 6 0 65 75 70 60 70 65 55 65 60 50 2 7 0 9 0 60 2 7 0 9 0 2 7 0 9 0 60 50 60 65 55 65 70 60 75 2 4 0 75 2 4 0 80 1 2 0 85 90 95 70 65 1 2 0 2 4 0 1 2 0 70 80 75 85 80 1 5 0 2 1 0 85 3 0 90 75 80 3 0 0 2 1 0 10k Hz 90 1 5 0 2 1 0 C 95 1 5 0 C 1 8 0 C 1 8 0 1 8 0 TCS210 90 3 3 0 3 0 90 80 3 3 0 3 0 70 80 80 65 75 75 6 0 3 0 0 6 0 3 0 0 6 0 3 0 0 70 70 60 65 65 55 60 60 50 55 55 9 0 2 7 0 45 9 0 2 7 0 9 0 2 7 0 55 55 45 60 60 50 65 65 55 60 70 70 2 4 0 2 4 0 1 2 0 2 4 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 75 75 65 80 80 70 90 75 85 85 2 1 0 1 5 0 90 3 0 75 85 85 2 1 0 0 0 0 3 3 0 2 1 0 1 5 0 80 1 5 0 C C C 1 8 0 1 8 0 1 8 0 TCS115 0 0 3 3 0 90 90 3 3 0 3 0 85 85 80 80 3 3 0 75 6 0 3 0 0 70 70 70 65 65 65 60 60 60 55 55 2 7 0 9 0 55 2 7 0 9 0 2 7 0 55 55 60 60 65 65 9 0 55 60 65 70 70 2 4 0 70 2 4 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 2 4 0 1 2 0 75 75 75 80 80 80 85 85 90 3 0 80 6 0 3 0 0 6 0 90 85 75 75 3 0 0 2 1 0 0 3 0 2 1 0 1 5 0 90 85 1 5 0 2 1 0 90 1 5 0 C C C 1 8 0 1 8 0 1 8 0 TCS115M 0 3 3 0 90 3 3 0 85 90 3 3 0 3 0 80 65 75 6 0 3 0 0 70 3 0 0 6 0 6 0 70 60 65 65 55 60 60 50 55 55 2 7 0 9 0 45 2 7 0 9 0 2 7 0 9 0 55 55 45 60 60 50 65 65 70 2 4 0 2 4 0 1 2 0 80 85 1 2 0 75 65 80 70 75 85 1 5 0 2 1 0 90 C 1 8 0 60 2 4 0 75 90 55 70 1 2 0 2 1 0 1 5 0 80 1 5 0 C C 1 8 0 3 0 70 80 75 80 75 85 3 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 3 0 1 8 0

SUSPENSION / RIGGING Fig 1 BOTTOM VIEW 360 array with TCS210 cabinets and bottom fills. Fig 2 TOP VIEW 360 array with TCS210 cabinets. DANGER Mounting or rigging loudspeakers is a serious endeavor, always seek the advice of qualified experts. Improper installations may result in damage, injury or death. SUSPENSION / RIGGING The TCS series loudspeakers can be flown in many different arrays and configurations (above). The many possibilities are ideally suited for large venue main house systems, fill or delay systems, church installations, as well as small to large club installations. Hanging speaker arrays serve two main purposes (1) to clear up floor space and (2) to pinpoint sound locations. Speaker arrays ensure that everyone listening hears the sound at the same level. IMPORTANT NOTE The mounting/rigging points of the TCS loudspeakers must either be used for mounting hardware (eyebolts) or “plugged” with the hex-socket screws provided. There are two reasons for this. When suspending the loudspeaker from one end, the screws in the mounting/rigging points on the other end transfer the load through the internal steel bracing to the bottom surface of th enclosure for structural support. Also if they are not “plugged”, the holes can create air leaks compromising the low frequency performance of the enclosure (below). WARNING Never use the handles for suspending the loudspeaker, they are not designed or rated for this purpose. CAUTION All hardware used for overhead suspension should be designed and used with a minimum 5:1 design factor. This is the ratio between the structural failure point and the loading to be applied to the component. Periodically inspect and maintain on all rigging points on the loudspeaker and on all suspension hardware. DANGER: hardware found at your local hardware store should not be used as it may not be rated for this application. Carvin is not responsible for damage caused by use of improper hardware. SUSPENSION HARDWARE Carvin offers suspension hardware to allow you to suspend one cabinet or as many as 255 cabinets (TCS210) in a 360 array ! Although most of us will never need this many speakers, it just demonstrates the awsome capability of the TCS series loudspeakers and rigging/suspension hardware. The internal steel bracket used on all TCS loudspeakers is designed to accept 3/8” forged steel eyebolts (Carvin’s TH10). A description of the hardware is listed below: TH10 TH10 TH15 TH50 TH57 TH55 TH56 TH58 TH10-3/8-16 forged steel eyebolt with washer / WLL 1600 lbs.
