HI All,

The 440's do need EQ and they are certainly different from the newer
version the 445 Better controled dispersion on the HF and sound better
for it.

Depending on if you are using the 440's for speech or music the DSP
settings will change. but not with the new 445

Music:

TQ-440 (music)
12 0 + 0.125 30Hz ** 1.31kHz * Auto (-1dB) -1.8dB(a)405Hz (Q=3),
-3.0dB(a)721Hz (Q=3)
6.5" + 1" -2 + 0.000 1.31kHz * 22kHz Auto (-1dB) -5.3dB(a)1.71kHz
(Q=1.7), -2.2dB(a)4.08kHz (Q=2.5), +2.2dB(a)10.5kHz (Q=2.0)

Speech:

TQ-440 (speech)
12 0 + 0.125 30Hz ** 1.31kHz * Auto (-1dB) -1.8dB(a)405Hz (Q=3),
-3.0dB(a)721Hz (Q=3)
6.5" + 1" 0 + 0.000 1.31kHz * 22kHz Auto (-1dB) -5.3dB(a)1.71kHz (Q=1.7),
-2.2dB(a)4.08kHz (Q=2.5), +2.2dB(a)10.5kHz (Q=2.0)

Both the 440 and the 445's do not sound as good as they can when used
with "lesser" quality DSP and Amps.

We hold a stock of both cabinets and have A-B tested lots of DSP's and
amps. By far the best combination is a XTA DP226 or Turbosound LMS D6
(same thing with a different face plate) and the MC2 Amps. E25 on mid
AND Hi.

If the above doesn't display very clear feel free to email me at
Brett(a)sound4hire.co.uk and I will forward an Excel Spred for you.

I agree about the XTA processors in general. They seem to be about the
best sounding DSP on pretty much every box I've heard them on. I
haven't had a chance to compare the Lake on multiple systems yet
though, but it's unique EQ controls look pretty interesting.

HI All,

We currently have two pairs of TQ445's for sale cased in pairs if
your interested?

Always run with 226's and MC2 amps.

Our hire department is being forced into the Funktion-one range and we
need to move our remaining Turbosound stock on.

Email if you would like an Phot's or more info.

Condition is 9.5/10 (honest 9.5)

ok subject says 440. main text says 445.

can you confirm which ones.

I've got number of 440's at the moment which i might like to build on...

HI Rob,

They are 445's, two are 440's which were upgraded to 445's. The post
was in reply to the 440 questions etc hense the header and subject
miss-match.

Only reason for sale is due to us changing to Funktion-one.

Give me a ring, 07743 857743
