Turbosound iQ12 2,500W 12" Powered Speaker

Have yet to try them outdoors but these things absolutely Rock inside to the point where I don't want to turn them up to full blast. I'm looking forward to getting an IQ18b to match with he is. I really don't have any complaints with these. Clean and powerful. Need to test outside at 100 DB+ to really see what they can do

i have an entire X32 with IQ mains, subs and monitors very nice

I don't typically write reviews and certainly don't do it right after I purchase an item. I have had a pair of these speakers for almost a year now. The sound quality is excellent, even compared to a QSC. I have used these for a "live band" event as well as a DJ event. Paired with the IQ18 subs they are hard to beat. There is a lot of "technology" wrapped up in this speaker and my guess is that most people wont use it. Since I am using the X32 Rack, I really do like the fact that I can run CAT5/6 cables to the mains, subs and monitors. Cat 5/6 cables are cheaper lighter and easier to find in an emergency. I also like the fact that there are two pole mount holes on the bottom. One, that will hold the speaker straight up, and another that will angle it forward slightly.

I was intrigued by the way this speaker integrates with the Behringer digital mixers, something I might buy in the future. I LOVE Feedback destroying built into speakers. The EQ you can dial in with your Mac or PC is killer- 2 fully parametric eq bands, plus two shelving eq's, and so easy to use. Was sorry to see that go when I returned the speaker. The speaker modeling seemed silly and unnecessary, none of the models made the IQ12 sound great. The highly variable Xover is a great thing to have. And, any of these changes made can be saved to a User Preset, so you dial things in at home and then have them instantly available. Altogether it felt like features meant for a more expensive system were added to this one, and for the most part they really added to the speaker. I recently bought a QSC K10. As a keyboard player, I was floored by how open and transparent, even somewhat 3D it sounded. All of my Nord Stage sounds sounded right, like their real instruments. It has since become my reference / standard for sound editing and judging other speakers. The IQ12 fell short in comparison. I tried the speaker model that appealed to me the most on the IQ12, and then further eq'd it to taste. I also did this with the default IQ12 sound. Neither of them delivered the open and transparent, full of depth sound that I knew could be achieved. The price is very attractive, but with the extra weight (5 pounds more than most 12" 2 ways I know of), and the uninspiring sound quality, I saw no reason to hang onto it.
