What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

I have three of the Ip columns, 2 of the Ip1000's (one old one new) and an Ip500. The 1000's are used in an old rock band (50's), an occasional pickup type band, open mics, and for jams at the house. These replaced a pair of Mackie SRM450's, which are good speakers as well.

The Ip1000's I use in pairs for bands, and have used the 500 for a monitor at times, and also at small open mics. The Ip500 will work with only the top half of the column inserted, which is where all the high and mid speakers are located. I have used it that way for monitors.

The strangest thing about these speakers is the dispersion pattern. They go out to about 180 degrees in the horizontal, but the highs actually start rolling off earlier, maybe at 120 degrees. Somehow the column brings the vertical dispersion way down to a narrow band. As a result they do not drop off as fast when you move away from the stage. You also don't get as much reflection off of the ceiling, which is great in a long hall type venue. But you get more off the walls with that wide horizontal dispersion.

As a result of all that, when given the choice, I prefer to set up in the middle of the long wall in a rectangular room. On the short end there is more bounce than normal off of the side walls (in a narrow room end) but that is not as much problem in a wide room set up. (Could be the same room with the band in a different location).

I've got the Ip500 setup in my living room corner for practice. Both columns are great for outside work as the sound seems to drop off a lot slower. I haven't had any technical issues with these. I don't use the bluetooth functions much, which may be why I don't have problems.

I wrote another review for the IP2000 - I own both. They're both excellent. I have well over 150 gigs and rehearsals with our acoustic group using these. They've never let me down. They fill the venue with crystal clear, legible sound without being directional. We play mainly brewpubs and beer gardens in mountain towns. They've been out in all kinds of weather - sudden rain storms, direct sun for hours, even outside at a ski area stage in winter - and have operated flawlessly.

I highly recommend the IP1000 and the IP2000. They're both super powerful and should be enough for most bands, singer songwriters, presenters, etc.,
Five Stars!

I have 4 inspire 1000's I've used these speakers in ballrooms that hold 300 people the inspire 1000's held their own well. I'd love 4 more just to have a compact effective sound system that is portable and powerful!
Turbsound definitely got it right.

This is my 2nd system in 10 years of playing live acoustic rock in Florida. Despite the harsh Florida weather conditions: hot sun, saltwater in the air, humidity, wind, rain and air conditioning, the system maintains its high quality live sound. Many musicians in the audience at our gigs always come up to us asking what we are playing through and they look jealous. It's an amazing system and all I like to play through. Well-balanced sound and power with consistent quality and never any issues. Takes a beating and keeps up.

When I was looking for easy to carry around FOH, I did what everyone should do-ask your Sweetwater sales engineer (Carson McClain!) I was thinking of Bose, and Carson said you should really give these a look (Turbosound) - Carson is always right and I trust him implicitly. That was years ago. I can ABSOLUTELY rely on the consistent quality sound and reliability. I also use the Turbosound system discretely for the audio output from my Roland V-Drums, and also link the outputs into the studio mix inputs.
