Turbosound had three major launches at the show. TSB118 and TA500 are wide-dispersion models in the Aspect range for installation. "That's because Aspect is only 25°," explained European sales manager Dominic Harter, "so on smaller shows it can be expensive to cover a room. Also we have lots of Floodlight installations that are 10 or 12 years old, and we weren't previously offering an upgrade path to those customers. Now we are."

The other news surrounded the TCS52 ceiling speaker. "Turbosound hasn't had a massive name in contracting," said Harter, "so we launched a range at PLASA in that direction - although we still make the Impact speakers. It's important to service the whole job in installation - if you get the cloakrooms and ceilings, you'll probably get the PA as well. So it's all about colour options, weatherproofing and covering every angle, as it were - including ceilings."

I wondered if I was being inaccurate in not recalling a Turbosound press conference, as such, for several years: "No, you're being fairly accurate," was Harter's honest response. "One of the things Philip Hart wanted to do when he joined as MD was to ensure the full redevelopment of lots of product lines, before shouting about the company too loudly. We're at the point now where we've got the full range from Aspect down to ceiling speakers, so it's time to do the marketing."
