Turbosound

collapse expand iconDescription

The Turbosound iQ8 2,500W 8" powered speaker packs robust sound and intelligent processing into a lightweight and compact form factor. With its efficient Class-D amplifier delivering a hefty 2,500W of power, the iQ8 can provide enough volume to cover audiences of all sizes. Take control of every aspect of this portable powerhouse speaker with the LCD interface and PC remote control software.

Project Your Sound Powerfully

Housed in a deceptively compact enclosure is a muscular 2,500W Class-D power amplifier, courtesy of the experts at Klark Teknik. The highly efficient design provides all the volume you need, whether using one iQ8 cabinet for solo performers or small venues, or linking multiple units together to cover larger crowds. The Class-D amp keeps the iQ8 lightweight and cool even at high-output levels. Plug into AC mains power and you're ready to project your sound with power to spare.

Klark Teknik DSP Grants Total System Control

The iQ8 is equipped with sophisticated Klark Teknik digital signal processing that puts you in command of every aspect of the system's sound. Built-in speaker modeling accurately recreates the sound of many classic speaker cabinets with the turn of a knob. Sophisticated limiting provides utmost clarity even at max volume. Dynamic EQ optimizes frequency response at any listening level. With DSP control over vital parameters like crossover, EQ, limiting and more, you can fully optimize and protect the iQ8 while retaining sonic transparency.

Innovative Spatial Contour Control

A key innovation of the iQ8 is Klark Teknik's Spatial Contour Control, which compensates the speaker's frequency response based on physical placement. Simply turn the SCC knob to optimize the sound for floor, ceiling, wall mounting or pole use. This allows you to tailor the EQ perfectly for the iQ8's positioning, just like having a studio monitor's acoustic adjustment controls built right in.

Portable yet Powerful Enclosure

Despite its compact size and light weight, the iQ8's fiberglass composite enclosure houses an 8" woofer for solid low-end thump and a 1" compression driver for clear, extended highs. The rugged steel grille protects the drivers from harm. Fly, pole or stand mount the iQ8 using its versatile rigging options. Multiple iQ8's can be linked and controlled over ULTRANET digital audio networking. With its potent sound, intelligent DSP and grab-and-go form factor, the iQ8 is an ideal all-in-one solution for mobile and installed applications.

    These speakers are unbelievable. I own a pair of EV ZLX12 and some QSC KW153s and these speakers can really pack some power, I almost want to say more than the QSC speakers! I also like the speak-on type power cables that lock into the back of the speaker, and it also has a ton of other features that are ahead of the modern speakers that are out. For the price you can't go wrong at all with a pair of these. I also bought the covers for these speakers and they fit super snug. I have a feeling these will be very popular speakers soon.
