In the Turbosound TM3-1/2/4 enclosures the connectors
are wired as follows:

MB In all cases the male and female connectors wired
in parallel, so that either may be used as the input
to- the system, the second then being available for
"daisy-chaining" to a second enclosure. See Figure 3.

It should be noted that the Kid and High sections are
wired internally 1 SO degrees out of phase, with respect
to the Bass. Experience has shown that this gives the
best response with the majority of crossovers.

When checking a TMS Series cabinet with the TPC-llSl or
similar, their "acoustic polarity" should be as follows:

Efforts hav0 been made by other speaker designers to
solve these problems with compression drivers on
const-ant directivity horns. But none can be psed at high
levels in the mid band or "vocal range11 without severe
distortion* The consequent unnatural sound quality and
listening fatigue that results can be extremely
aggravating and even painful to the listener.

drivers are adjacent there may be too much high
frequency energy produced on axis, especially if the
angles between cabinets are smallT The amount of
coupling introduced depends on the combination, of throw
and spread required.
