High-Power Output and Lightweight Design: The iQ8 features a highly efficient Klark Teknik Class-D amplifier, delivering 2500 watts of output in a compact, lightweight enclosure. This allows for easy portability without sacrificing power, making it ideal for both portable and fixed installations.

Advanced Klark Teknik DSP and Speaker Modeling; The built-in Klark Teknik DSP offers dynamic EQ and transparent limiting, which keeps audio clear at high output levels while ensuring long-term reliability. Additionally, the DSP includes advanced speaker modeling technology, providing realistic simulations of popular loudspeakers for flexible sound tailoring in any environment.

Spatial Contour Control (SCC) for Versatile Placement: The iQ8’s SCC (Spatial Contour Control) optimizes frequency response based on placement, whether it’s on a floor, stand, wall, or ceiling. This function enables frequency compensation much like studio monitors, delivering consistent audio quality regardless of the speaker’s location.

User-Friendly Interface and Connectivity: The rear panel includes an intuitive LCD display, dual gain controls, and a rotary encoder for easy adjustments to EQ, SCC, speaker modeling, and more. The iQ8 also features two combination XLR/jack inputs, separate balanced XLR outputs for each channel, and a Mix Out XLR connector, simplifying connectivity for various setups.

ULTRANET Digital Networking: Turbosound’s proprietary ULTRANET technology allows audio and control data to be sent over CAT5 cables, reducing the potential for interference and setup time. This feature also allows for seamless integration with other ULTRANET-compatible devices, such as digital mixers and personal monitor systems.

Durable Construction and Flexible Mounting: The iQ8 is built to withstand the demands of live sound applications, with a fiber-reinforced composite enclosure, a powder-coated steel mesh grille, and multiple rigging points for secure installation. Additionally, a dual-angle pole mount socket provides flexible audience coverage, allowing the speaker to be mounted straight or angled downward as needed.

USB Port for Remote Control and Firmware Updates: An onboard USB port allows users to control the iQ8 remotely via PC software, as well as install firmware updates for DSP and speaker modeling. This feature ensures the speaker’s performance remains current and adaptable for future needs.
