Big Power and Built-in DSP for Incredible Sound

You get plenty of power plus easy portability with the Turbosound iQ12 powered loudspeaker. It's easy to move largely due to the efficient Klark Teknik Class D power amp, which puts out up to 2,500 watts of power while keeping the weight down. You can shape the sound with onboard DSP that gives you the best of both worlds, providing a full-range response at low volumes while giving you transparent limiting at high volumes. The result is great sound no matter what situation you find yourself in.

Turbosound iQ12 Powered Speaker at a Glance:
  • Plenty of power for any gig
  • Complete system control through DSP technology
  • Lightweight for easy transportation
Plenty of power for any gig

The Turbosound iQ12 powered speaker is a solid solution for any number of situations. It sounds great at low volumes, but with 2,500 watts of power tucked away inside, you can fill large rooms with sound. This sound is pumped through a 12" speaker with a low mass voice coil for excellent transient response and a titanium dome 1" high frequency compression driver that provides extended high-frequency reproduction.

Complete system control through DSP technology

Now let's focus on the technological side of the Turbosound iQ12. The iQ12 features Ultranet communications connectivity via standard Cat 5 ethernet cable, which allows you to send digital signal to and from your Ultranet equipped mixer for maximum sound quality. If you're already familiar with Ultranet, then you already know how powerful and easy to use it is. If not, call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for a full explanation. On top of that, the iQ12 includes Klark Teknik digital signal processing, which provides total control over your sound, including extremely cool speaker emulation.

Lightweight for easy transportation

It would stand to reason that big power would come with serious weight. But Turbosound doesn't subscribe to that theory, and thus loaded the iQ12 with a Class D power amp. Class D means you get the power you need but you won't break your back.

Turbosound iQ12 Powered Speaker Features:
  • Lightweight and easy to move
  • Onboard DSP to shape the sound
  • Speaker emulations built in
  • Tons of power from Class D power amp
Engineered to sound great - Turbosound iQ12!

Clear and Loud

I have been using iQ12 speakers for small town festivals for 5 years and have always been amazed at their performance. I have received nothing but compliments from the performers and the festival staff. I just ordered 1 more iQ12 and now my PA system has 6 iQ12s, 4 M12s and 1 iQ18 sub. I will be buying 2 more iQ18s soon. Try them. You will not be disappointed.

Work Horse

After 2 years of ownership and hundreds of hours use,
the Turbosound iQ12 are still pumping out sound
They are super clear and powerful compared to other brands i wish it had
a better coverage but the 80° H x 60° V @ -6 dB points and Maximum SPL
130 dB peak is a good area to start with.
2 iq12's with 4 iq18b's in the middle and a iq8 as a center fill
you have enough power to rock out.

Great speakers

Jeremiah hooked me up with a great recommendation for my band new sound setup!
Rated 5/5

Better than expected!!

i work a wide variety of Audio gigs. Corporate AV, Wedding Bands, Church's. I like the flat response of Turbos. Works better with lav and headset mics. And coupled with the 15" or 18" subs, they are decent for small church gatherings or band gigs . DSP on back is kool and useful. The grills look nice with blu led. Im a fan of power-cons.

Cons:
They are a little heaver.
Cases are a bit snug and bottom corners of speaker can get dinged up.
Pole sockets can be more snug. They tend to sit crooked on stands.
Compared to (other) competitors , and can tell little difference.

Its preferences really..
Rated 5/5

Exceptionally clean vocals

I have used a variety of powered speakers and these clearly stand out. The clarity and vocal presence are outstanding. They also project extremely well, with ever sounding harsh or distorted. I use them as mains for a rock band, and we run everything through them - Ax-FX modelers, Roland drums, vocals, keys, etc. They handle the load flawlessly. I do use them with a Midas M32, so using the Ultranet feature.
