Can they please revive and update the TQ line? Those were some great boxes... just ridiculously heavy. They could do quite well for themselves by resurrecting that series and going after the higher-end of the middle market.

Basically, I think Music Group can revive Turbosound, inject the money and menpower needed to get to where they once were and want to be again.
And maybe use some TS IP to make lower end offerings a little better.
Let's watch this...

Re: Music Group acquires Turbosound
Hey man, Guitar Center sorely needs a sort of pro line speaker box for their moron sales guys that play in a bar band to 27 people every Saturday night to talk about and try to sound smart about PA systems and sound technology. This fills a niche that has been left vacant in the Guitar Center sales propaganda doctrine for some time.

Hi Peter -
Rat's Flashline rig came through here 2 days ago. It's out on a national packaged tour called Country Fest. I spent about 4 hours with system tech, Sean Gary, and FOH mixer, Christopher Sullivan. Very savy guys who made me feel right at home. They spent a lot of time tweaking and tuning the rig. It was the smallest array they had hung for the tour - limited to six boxes aside by the load limit of the Applied Towers. They said they had typically been hanging 12, so there was a lot more futzing than normal optimizing the 6 box hang. The results were impressive to say the least. Everything about the rig is what you would expect from Turbo. This system should be capable of running neck and neck with the best that anyone else can offer. Rigging and packaging are top notch. I had to leave about 2pm to go to a show we had at another venue in town. I only got to hear the system with very vocal heavy recordings Sully was using as his reference, which sounded excellent. Great clarity and detail. Incredible warmth and fullness. Really, really nice. Extremely even coverage. It didn't look like a lot of PA, but when you realize there were 66 drivers aside in that short array, you maintain a healthy respect for it's potential. It is really amazing that they can pack that kind of driver count into such a small space and have the result be such a phase coherent, articulate sounding speaker system. My lighting guy went back for the show and said the sound was excellent. He said he'd never heard anything throw like that before. There are definite nose restrictions at this venue, which were pretty much ignored.
. The performance space is just a big flat area with very little to obstruct the sound from carrying. The word was that they got noise complaints from further away from the venue than they have ever gotten in there 7 year history. Guess it's a good thing they couldn't hang 12 boxes.

Hi Steve,
If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of audience size / area were they covering with 6 boxes a side?

Like I said, I wasn't there for the show, so I don't know how big the crowd was, but the main audience area is probably about 250' x 250'.

Re: Music Group acquires Turbosound
Hey,
We have just done a festival (Copenhell) with the Turbosound Flashline system, must say its been along time since I have seen and heard so many (different people) been so impressed with a speaker system, including myself. Im a K1 fanboy and have toured this spring with the Martin MLA system and last Fall with a quite big D&b J system, had the JBL VTX on a demo gig not so long ago. And can honestly say that the Flashline blows them away in every aspect. Its so positive to see Turbosound have listened to there end users and "finally" made a system that is so well thought out and can handle the legacy of the Flashlight system.
