An Amazing Amount of Control in a Powerful Compact Package!

The 2,500 watt Turbosound IQ8 powered loudspeaker is a fantastic option for almost any portable or fixed installation sound reinforcement application. The IQ8's is chock-full of features and cutting edge technology, somehow crammed into a really compact design, to ensure you get the best performance and clearest signal possible. Use the built-in Klark Teknik DSP for EQ control, speaker modeling of the industry-standard loudspeakers, and Spatial Contour Control (SCC) for dialing in the IQ8 for the exact application you need.

Turbosound IQ8 Powered Loudspeaker at a Glance:
  • Klark Teknik DSP controlling EQ, speaker modeling, and more
  • DSP SCC optimizes frequency response for the speaker's placement
  • Ultranet enabled for Cat 5 transfer of audio with other Ultranet enabled products
Klark Teknik DSP controlling EQ, speaker modeling, and more

Take control of every aspect of your sound with the built-in DSP. The Turbosound IQ8 loudspeaker gives you the ability to manipulate everything from the EQ of your speaker and transparent limiting, to powerful speaker-modeling technology, giving you accurate models of audio's most respected loudspeakers. The integrated technology comes direct from Klark Teknik, one of the leaders in pro-audio technology, ensuring top-level performance of your IQ8 in any application.

DSP SCC optimizes frequency response for the speaker's placement

Sick of fighting with room or speaker placement acoustics to get the best sound possible? Those days are gone with the Turbosound IQ8 powered loudspeaker. Another amazing Klark Teknik addition to the loudspeaker is the Spatial Contour Control, or SCC. Once the IQ8 is set up for your application you can use the rear-panel amp module to quickly and efficiently tune the speaker system to its position and location with the SCC technology. Never get stuck with less-than optimal sound from your sound reinforcement speakers again.

Ultranet enabled for Cat 5 transfer of audio with other Ultranet-enabled products

Analog means of sound transfer have been around for years and years. But there is a better way! The Turbosound IQ8 powered loudspeaker offers Ultranet digital audio networking for sending multi-channel audio between it and other Ultranet enabled products such as digital mixers and personal monitor systems. When using the single digital Cat 5 cable, not only are you able to do away with the RFI interference that can sometimes plague analog methods, but setup and tear-down become a simple and quick process allowing you to focus on the job at hand.

Turbosound IQ8 Powered Loudspeaker Features:
  • DSP-controlled loudspeaker for many different sound reinforcement applications
  • Control of your EQ, speaker modeling, and more with Klark Teknik DSP

IQ8 speaker

An excellent sounding speaker with lots of features for the money I'm extremely satisfied

Amazing Highs and Mids

This is the most amazing speaker I have ever heard when it comes to high and mid frequencies. The sounds in that spectrum take on a truly meta-dimensional flavor. What I mean is that you will flip your lid listening to anything with trippy sounds in it. Worth the price. The bass is lacking - not as good as any 8" studio monitor, but just add a sub and you are in heaven.
Rated 5/5

Amazing little speaker

First impression was WOW! That's a lot of superclean volume from such a small speaker. I'm using this as my keyboard monitor on stage, and it is perfect for the task. Got rid of my QSC K12 in favor of the Turbosound. Much smoother sound, better response curve, and more power. The DSP is really nice to have. Limiter, eq-ing, and auto feedback rejection are the important parts for most of us out there in the trenches (clubs and restaurants). I highly recommend this speaker, and Sweetwater.
