MANCHESTER Series
(EN) 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 amplifier
and DSP.
The MS218 and MS215 are dual subwoofers and require 1 channel of amplifier and DSP for normal forward firing operation. Cardioid bass set ups will require additional
amplifier and DSP channels.
All Manchester series Loudspeakers exclusively use Lake pre-sets via Lab Gruppen PLM+ and D series L platforms. No other amplifier 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 amplifier configuration for your system.
System Cabling Requirements
To avoid wasting amplifier 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: The MS215 and MS218 subwoofer rear inputs are wired 1+/- = LF1||LF2; and 2+/- = LINK. The front input is wired 2+/- = LF1||LF2.
To power two subwoofers per amplifier channel, use standard NL4 link cables from Lab Gruppen bi-wired NL4 outputs (Channel 1 = 1+/-; Channel 2 = 2+/-). Refer to
wiring diagrams below for further details, and note the use of the FRONT input on one subwoofer.
To power one subwoofer per amplifier channel, a single NL4 cable from Lab Gruppen bi-wired NL4 outputs (Channel 1 = 1+/-; Channel 2 = 2+/-) connects to the first
subwoofer, then another cable connects to the FRONT input of the second subwoofer.
