TCX series
Networking Capability with LMS series Controllers
• •
LMS-D2X controllers are designed to offer control and monitoring of system parameters over a BvNet
network in real time using a PC and TurboDrive software. The controllers are equipped with network
cards to allow the building of comprehensive networked loudspeaker systems.
• •
Download the TurboDrive software from the supplied CD or from the TURBOSOUND website
turbosound.com and follow the installation instructions.

Networking multiple devices to a PC: BvNet is the method of connecting multiple devices and this is
done with the Linea Research USB & RS232 Interface (available from TURBOSOUND). The interface
enables devices to be connected to a PC either using RS232 or using USB. EIA485 is the network
protocol among the networked devices and is carried over CAT5-type cables. It works with the
following: PC with Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista operating systems,
or with Pentium processor, or CD ROM drive or internet access, RS232 or USB port.*
RS232: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a standard 9-pin serial cable. External power is
• •
required for RS232 operation and this should be provided by the Linea Research Accessory Power Supply.
• •
USB: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a USB Type A to USB Type B cable.
External power is not required when using USB.
• •
Connect networked devices via RJ45 CAT5 cables.

Outdoor Applications
TCX weather-resistant products are designed to provide robust protection against the elements when
used outdoors in harsh environments. The cabinet is fully sealed inside and out, protected with a Weather
resistant paint fi nish, and the plated and outdoor powder-coated perforated steel grille backed with
reticulated foam resists the impact of showers. Hard wired speaker connection is made via a 2-core cable
tail fi tted through a weather-sealed cable gland mounted on an aluminium connector plate. Stainless steel
external fi xings are used throughout. Internally, the drivers are treated to resist moisture absorption while
the internal corner brackets are zinc plated and outdoor powder-coated.

While TCX series loudspeakers with the "R" suffi x are constructed for outdoor use, care should be taken
when installing these loudspeakers outdoors in coastal areas where high salinity and extreme temperature
variations are present in addition to high humidity and UV light exposure.
Loudspeakers must always be mounted with a downward angle. Do not allow loudspeakers to become
fully immersed in water at any time. Routine inspection and maintenance programs must be carried out on
a regular basis and parts replaced as necessary to provide continued satisfactory performance.
Mounting and Fixing
TCX series cabinets are designed with multiple internal rigging points to suit many possible mounting
methods in permanent installations. The table below summarises the mounting accessories available for
