Loudspeaker

Introduced in 1978 the TLX Professional series from Telefunken featured a series of high-tech solutions. The largest model of this series was the TLX 3 Professional which was later replaced by the slightly upgraded TLX 33 model. While the enclosure of the TLX 3 is a traditional particle board with either "metallic-brown" or matte black finish, the front baffle was made of a new type of composite material - a blend of wood particles reinforced with glass-fiber for lower resonance. Built as a 4-way sealed speaker the TLX 3 features a 245 mm long-throw woofer, 65 mm mid-bass dome, 33 mm mid-high dome and a 25 mm dome tweeter. All the dome drivers feature a ferrofluid cooling system borrowed from space technology that helped increasing power handling and damping. The 25 mm dome tweeter is a 3-layer sandwiched material with aluminium as the middle layer. Additionally the tweeter and midrange can be adjusted to adapt reproduction to ambient conditions and to the frequency characteristics of the amplifier and sound sources, the LED bass and treble overload indicator helps you to safely operate the loudspeaker while the tweeter has an additional "Sensistor" protection.
