Managing director Simon Blackwood said, "The design team has come up with two truly innovative concepts - the Polyhorn and Dendritic waveguides - deployed across three product ranges which contribute towards the ever-increasing quality of sound reproduction at live concerts and in permanent installations, and which are set to earn the company significant income both at home and in our 45-plus export markets."
The company has recently launched a new flagship sound system based on the innovation for use on concert tours and at music festivals - resulting in early market acceptance with systems already in use in Germany, Thailand, China and the U.S. The system, named Flashline in recognition of an earlier product that earned Turbosound recognition for its audio support of Pink Floyd's landmark Division Bell world tour, and its second Queen's Award, combines the Polyhorn and Dendritic waveguides in a multi-drive-unit loudspeaker system that delivers a hi-fi listening experience to all audience members at indoor and outdoor events.
"Set against a challenging economic background and stiff competition from all quarters, this award really underlines the importance of UK design innovation in helping us to be a leader in the field of professional audio, and give us a genuinely competitive edge," said Blackwood.
