Networking capability with LMS series controllers
• LMS-D2X controllers are designed to offer control and monitoring of system parameters over a BvNet network in real time
using a PC and TurboDrive™ software. The controllers are equipped with network cards to allow the building of comprehensive
networked loudspeaker systems.
• Download the TurboDrive™ software from the supplied CD or from ftp://ftp.turbosound.com/tech_data/software/ and follow
the installation instructions.
• Install the drivers. If connecting via RS232 there is no need to install drivers. If connecting via USB install the USB drivers
which can be found on the CD that came with your Linea Research USB interface.
• Networking multiple devices to a PC: BvNet is the method of connecting multiple devices and this is done with the Linea
Research USB & RS232 Interface (available from Turbosound). The interface enables devices to be connected to a PC either
using RS232 or using USB. EIA485 is the network protocol among the networked devices and is carried over CAT5-type cables.
Minimum system requirements are: PC with Pentium processor, Windows NT, 2000, XP, or Vista, CD ROM drive or internet
access, RS232 or USB port.
• RS232: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a standard 9-pin serial cable. External power is required for RS232
operation and this should be provided by the Linea Research Accessory Power Supply.
• USB: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a USB Type A to USB Type B cable. External power is not required
when using USB.
• Connect networked devices via RJ45 CAT5 cables.
• Launch the TurboDrive™ software.
• Application Authorisation: TurboDrive™ prompts for an Authorisation Code on the first launch which is PJLUWZ.
• Select the COM port from Network > Com Port.
• Click the Online toolbar button.
• Click on one of the devices that appear in the tree view to Launch the panel.
• When the progress bar indicates ready, adjust the controls as required.
• Please refer to the TurboDrive™ User Guide for further information on networking.

Use with speaker poles and speaker stands
Use speaker poles such as the PA-90 or PA-100 on top of a bass cabinet to raise the mid/high
cabinets to above head height for better audience coverage.
For portable use remove the plastic bung covering the pole mount socket. Fit the speaker pole into
the pole mount socket on the TCX bass cabinet and mount the TCX two-way cabinet to the top of
the pole. TCX cabinets are compatible with standard 35mm speaker stands to raise mid/high
cabinets to above head height for better audience coverage. Mount the cabinet on to the top of the
speaker stand and tighten all adjusting screws. Always use caution when lifting the loudspeaker.
