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!

Reviews

Impressive vocal clarity
I purchased iq12s a few years ago to pair with my Midas M32R. To this day I remain impressed with these speakers, the clarity and depth of vocal reproduction is outstanding. I will purchase two more and two iq18 subs. An added perk is the integration using the Ultranet interface.
Would buy again
The best speaker I have seen for less money. The quality is top
Excellent product
I've used it outdoors, indoors and it's just a fine-performing speaker system. The band with which I work has gotten several comments from our regular followers that "whatever you guys did to make it sound better is great!" or something to that effect. One fella even thought we got new subs... which is to me just kinda funny. I'm crossing them over at 100Hz.
Easy to set up. Intuitive DSP. The only drawback (and really it's a sign of quality IMHO) is these things are kinda heavy to lift up onto a speaker pole.
Very impressed so far. I haven't yet tried the feedback suppressor since I'm using them as FOH, but I imagine if I ever use one as a floor monitor, that I'll be equally impressed.
Music background: Bass player, live-sound production work for decades.
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.
Music background: Drums and percussion for over 50 years. Recording and mixing for over 15 years
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.
Music background: Touring Musician now FOH Engineer
