Networking capability

• The TBV123-AN powered loudspeaker and TBV118L-AN subwoofer offer remote control via USB. The USB connection allows the user to configure and monitor all DSP parameters using dedicated software for PC.
• The DSP firmware can also be updated via the USB connection. Visit turbosound.com for the latest firmware version.
• The TBV123-AN powered loudspeaker and TBV118L-AN subwoofer also offer proprietary ULTRANET networking capabilities through the ULTRANET IN and ULTRANET THRU connections using CAT5 cables with RJ45/Neutrik etherCON connectors. ULTRANET allows the user to transmit unidirectionally up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit audio throughout the TBV-AN system, as well as other ULTRANET-equipped devices such as digital mixers and personal monitor systems.
• Up to 7 devices can be connected in series on a single ULTRANET cable.

Mains power connection

• The TBV123-AN loudspeaker and the TBV118L-AN subwoofer also facilitate mains power connection using power cables with Neutrik powerCON locking power connectors. To set up mains power between TBV-AN loudspeakers, first run a power cable terminating in a powerCON connector to the AC INPUT connector on the rear panel of the first unit.
• To power additional speakers downline, run power cables equipped with powerCON connectors at both ends from the first speaker’s AC LINK OUTPUT to the AC INPUT of the next TBV-AN loudspeaker in series.
• The maximum number of linked systems depends on the AC supply voltage as well as the maximum current draw of the individual systems in the power chain. When linking a power chain, make sure that the integrated connectors as well as the supplied AC mains cable are never overloaded. If you are uncertain how to calculate the total current draw, please contact your dealer. Always turn off the power to the units before making connections
