What Is the Turbosound TA890H?
The Turbosound TA890H is a passive loudspeaker from Turbosound’s professional TCS touring and rental range. It is designed for use as a main PA or fill speaker in professional live sound reinforcement applications. As a passive unit it requires external amplification and signal processing to operate.
The Born Turboblue 2 Black designation on 10 of these units refers to a specific production run or edition of the TA890H finished in black. Sequential serial numbers across the 12-unit lot confirms they are from the same original touring or installation inventory, which means consistent driver matching, cabinet construction, and performance characteristics across the full set.
The units are second hand in good condition with original components confirmed working. Whaleboards, covers, and NL8 cables are available alongside the speakers, making this a complete package purchase from a single source.

What Is a Whaleboard?
A whaleboard is a curved mounting or rigging accessory used with Turbosound TCS Series cabinets to enable correct array curvature when flying or ground-stacking multiple units. The whaleboard sets the splay angle between adjacent cabinets in the array, which determines the vertical coverage pattern of the complete array. Without the correct whaleboard, a multi-cabinet array cannot be configured to its intended geometric specification.
Having 12 whaleboards available alongside 12 TA890H units means every speaker in this lot can be configured as part of a correctly specced array immediately after purchase without any additional hardware sourcing. This is not always the case with used Turbosound TCS listings, where whaleboards are frequently missing or sold separately.

Estimated Retail Value and Resale Margin
Turbosound does not publish a public retail price list. New TCS Series pricing flows through authorized Turbosound dealers and distributors. Used TA890H units in good condition with original working components are actively sought in the secondary market for touring and rental inventory expansion.
- Our price: 1,500€ per unit
- Full 12-unit lot (speakers only): 18,000€
- Full lot with all available accessories (excl. cables): 19,300€
- Condition: good condition, original working components, sequential serial numbers
- Secondary market range for comparable units: Details not provided. Check current listings on GearSource and Reverb for live market pricing reference
For rental companies, 12 x TA890H units with matching whaleboards and covers is a complete deployable array system from a single purchase. The whaleboard availability alongside the speakers is the element that makes this listing stand apart from most used Turbosound TCS inventory in the secondary market.
Real Profit Example
A rental company purchases 12 units at 1,500€ each plus 12 whaleboards at 75€ each and 8 covers at 50€ each. Total investment: 18,000€ + 900€ + 400€ = 19,300€.
They deploy all 12 units as a complete line array for outdoor events and concerts at a combined daily rental rate of 3,600€ per day for the full system.
At 6 rental days across the season, gross revenue equals 21,600€ against an equipment cost of 19,300€. The full investment is recovered within that initial deployment window and the system continues generating revenue in subsequent seasons.
This example uses assumed rental rates. Your actual rates, market, and booking volume will vary. These numbers are illustrative, not guaranteed.

What to Consider Before Starting a PA Event Company
If you are entering the PA rental or event production business and evaluating the Turbosound TA890H as your main PA loudspeaker investment, consider the following:
- Amplification: The TA890H is passive. Budget for compatible professional power amplification. MC2 Audio E100 and Delta Series amplifiers are available from musicconcertevent.com alongside these speakers.
- Signal processing: A multi-way passive PA system requires a professional DSP processor for crossover, equalization, delay, and limiting. The Turbosound D6 XTA 2-in 6-out processor is available from musicconcertevent.com and is directly relevant for driving a complete TA890H system.
- Whaleboards: Array geometry is controlled by the whaleboards. Do not deploy a multi-cabinet TA890H array without the correct whaleboards. All 12 are available from this listing.
- NL8 cabling: The TA890H uses NL8 connectors. NL8 cables at 10m are available from this listing at 50€ each. Confirm cable quantity required for your system configuration before ordering.
- Transport and covers: 8 covers are available. For a 12-unit purchase, budget for additional cover or case solutions for the remaining 4 units.
- Insurance: Professional audio equipment at this value requires cover for transit, on-site damage, and liability.
Professional resources including Sasphonik and Boston Pro Sounds provide guidance on system configuration and PA company setup for those entering the professional audio market.

Where to Sell Turbosound TA890H Units After Purchase
The secondary market for Turbosound TCS Series equipment is active. Channels include:
- GearSource: the primary professional event production equipment marketplace
- Reverb: established pro audio section with USA and European buyer reach
- Stageelectronic: professional touring equipment reference used by industry buyers in Europe
- LinkedIn: direct B2B outreach to production companies, rental houses, and venue owners
- Facebook Marketplace and eBay: broader reach at variable buyer quality
A matched 12-unit lot with sequential serial numbers, whaleboards, covers, and cables is significantly more attractive to secondary market buyers than individual units without accessories. Maintaining the complete lot intact through your ownership period maximizes resale value and reduces time on market.
Why Our Units Are Different
Used TA890H listings in the secondary market typically appear as individual units without whaleboards, without covers, and without confirmed component status. Our listing covers 12 matched sequential-numbered units in good condition with original working components, 12 whaleboards, 8 covers, and NL8 cables, all from a single verified source with worldwide shipping. That is a complete, deployable Turbosound TCS array package. It is not what the secondary market normally offers for this product.
