TLA508

Line Array Enclosure


2x 8" Bass/Mid Driver + ISOPHASIC HF Device - 1350 Watts Program

The Acoustic Technologies TLA508 Line Array Loudspeaker System is an innovative 2-way design, featuring two high output 8" Neodymium transducers to reproduce the low frequency and mid-band information. This arrangement offers superb low frequency performance whilst maintaining a phase coherent output in the mid-band.

The High Frequency domain is handled by a 1.4" exit compression driver coupled to an Isophasic Diffraction Aperture offering horizontal High Frequency dispersions of 60°, 90° and 150° in symmetrical or asymmetrical configurations. Vertical dispersion is determined by the length and curvature of the array.

The proprietary Blackbird Flying Hardware System is an integral part of the design allowing vertical arrays of up to 16 cabinets to be easily suspended. Inter-cabinet angles are adjustable in 1° increments, from 0° to 10°, with the pivot point located at the front baffle to maintain the integrity of the High Frequency Aperture.

The flying system is designed so that all parts are captive to the cabinet frame ensuring no parts are lost in transit. The fly-header bar may be inverted for ground stack applications.

The extensively braced cabinet is constructed entirely from premium grade, void free Birch Ply and is fitted with a rugged perforated steel grille to the protect the transducers. The cabinet is finished in black AcoustiCoate elastomer and fitted with dual NL4 Speakon connectors with loop thru connections for Sub Bass provided.

The TLA508 Blackbird Line Array System is ideal for compact touring systems, outdoor music festivals and sporting events, corporate presentations and a wide range of in-house sound reinforcement applications including houses of worship, theatres and showrooms.
