Welcome
Thank you for choosing a Turbosound loudspeaker product for your application. If you would like further information about this or any other product, please visit our

Unpacking theLoudspeaker
After unpacking the unit, please check carefully for damage. If damage is found, please notify your supplier at once. You, the consignee, must instigate any claim.
Please retain all packaging in case of future returnshipment.
SystemRequirements
The MV212 and MV212-XV are bi-amp 3-way loudspeakers with a passive network used on the mid and high frequency bands, and they require 2 channels of amplier
andDSP.
The MS218 and MS215 are dual subwoofers and require 1 channel of amplier and DSP for normal forward ring operation. Cardioid bass set ups will require additional
amplier and DSPchannels.
All Manchester series Loudspeakers exclusively use Lake pre-sets via Lab Gruppen PLM+ and D series L platforms. No other amplier and DSP platforms aresupported.
Manchester series has a powerful yet simple pre-set strategy utilizing the latest functionality of Lake software, along with new acoustic compensation for length of
array and throw distances required (explained later in thisQSG).
Pre-set data is found either via Lake Load Library or can be downloaded from www.turbosound.com...
Recommended Lab Gruppen PLM+ models for Touring applications are the PLM12k44 andPLM20k44.
For installations using Lab Gruppen D series L models, please use Lab Gruppen ‘Cafe’ software - available for download from www.labgruppen.com - to determine the
optimum amplier conguration for your system.
System CablingRequirements
To avoid wasting amplier power, you should use heavy-duty speaker cable with a minimum wire size of 2.5 mm² (14 AWG), and preferably 4 mm² (12 AWG) for longer
runs or where total cabinet input impedance is less than 8 ohms. For extreme cable lengths, be aware of cable impedance and resistive losses.
Always observe the correctpolarity.
Use genuine NEUTRIX SPEAKON CONNECTORS for reliable operation.
SubwooferCabling
NOTE: Since MS215 and MS218 subwoofers are wired 1+/- = LF1||LF2; and 2+/- = LINK, in order to power multiple MS215 and MS218 enclosures, it is advised to
construct SUB LINK cables wired: 2+ -> 1+ and 2- -> 1-.
To power two subwoofers per amplier channel, standard NL4 link cables from Lab Gruppen bi-wired NL4 outputs (Channel 1 = 1+/-; Channel 2 = 2+/-) can be used in
conjunction with a SUB LINK cable. Refer to wiring diagrams below for furtherdetails.
To power one subwoofer per amplier channel, a single NL4 cable from Lab Gruppen bi-wired NL4 outputs (Channel 1 = 1+/-; Channel 2 = 2+/-) connects to the rst
subwoofer, then the SUB LINK cable connects to the second subwoofer.
