Hey John, I've been using my IP2000's for weddings and school dances of 100-200 for the past year and a half! I love the sound! And as a professional musican and public school teacher, I use these for all of our concerts!
I just sold my 4 iq3000 118's and iQ 112' and it was because I never used it. The little system was versatile but I got injured so at 67 I was told to stop doing Sound and DJ'ing. I still have my iP3000's in my living room with all my stuff hooked into those for jamming with friends and for entertainment. There is a pair of the iX1000 115's with Midas in the basement that I have yet to fire up. Like you I started way back in the early seventies with Altec, JBL, Gauss and EV. I can recone all of these as well. I started using Turbosound back in the mid eighties. Cheers
Before I got my ZLX's I considered buying them, because they really seemed to be like the EV version of powered speakers in England. They are all over the place over there. I really like how they look as well, very well built. Behringer is benefitting as well because they are both under the same umbrella.
Turbosound iQ series rocks. My one rig is 4X iq15 and 4 X iq18B. Such awesome sound. The 8's and 10's give such a punch for a small speaker. Loving your video s. Stay safe.
@@virgilgray please understand, all you actually heard was the quality of Your headphones. It is impossible, I repeat, Impossible to hear the quality of any speaker or system that you are viewing on RUclips or any other recorded format. Even if you have a live concert DVD, you are not hearing the system that was at that show. You are hearing a mix from the board being played back through your system. The only way to sample a speaker is to hear it live, in person. That's why he said go see it for yourself. Sweetwater sound has these in house. You can hear them there.
Man I thought about getting some turbosound speakers but couldn’t justify getting them. Good video bro! Congrats on the baby! We have #4 due at the end of May.
As usual awesome review... Btw I just did a band this weekend with my friend who owns the 2x IQ15 for & 6 x IQ12 for monitors... I could not believe the difference... Makes me even consider for the price point to upgrade myself... 2300 for $900 for a 15" top... Cant beat it...
I have been running a bunch of IQ12s and IQ18bs for a while... It's nice to see someone else in the circles singing praises on "new" Turbosound gear without side jabs.
I work in a venue and am looking at system design to make things more user friendly and all round better experience. I am planning on installing an XR18 in 2 of the main event spaces, as the mixer, I would then mount a Tablet on the wall with Bitfocus Companion on it as buttons for basic control (of both sound system and projector). What I need is a way to send feeds to all the different rooms, but there isn't much budget cause it's a church (hence why I'm pricing XR18's and not X32 Racks), I was planning on using P16's with small cheap speakers, but this might be a better quality option to go for. I would probably need 4 of these to be in each of the small rooms, then I would use a P16 to send to the main rooms.
Does the db limiter work for overall volume? For example, some venues have noise ordinances and tell us we have to stay under 100 db all night, which is hard when you start to get hyped. If so, is it an awkward ceiling or is it a smooth roll off? Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate it, and so much that I'm looking into something like this to use for my digital floor modeler as I'm a guitar player and I'm tired of lugging around big 4x12 cabinets. Your input as well as anybody else here in the comments is appreciated.
Thanks for showing this speaker. I will give them a look. I'm in the market for some 8" powered speakers and was strongly looking at the QSC K8.2's.I have the K12.2's with the KW181 subs and love it. I don't always need that much sound so I wanted something I can use for practice or to take out and play small parties.
John, congrats on the baby. Been in the AV industry for over 30 years, and it’s a pleasure to watch you grow and share what you are learning with others. Glad to see you pick up the Turbos. They have always been known for their time alignment principles. I cannot wait for you to get/explore Danley Sound Labs, Tectonic Audio, Tannoy, Bag End Subs, etc. keep up the good work!
Looking for compact speakers with a punch, listened to your video with headphones and was convinced the midst n hi's sound rich enough for an 8 inch 2 way speaker these with 2 IQ 15B's should be fine for a small to mid size event, compact with punch and a little boom don't like too much of that, thanks
Dam Dude. I’m lost Vack in Da Day when I was rocking 18 inch Jbls tech 1200 Wsc amps. All it was , was 2 Tim ur tables and a microphone. Shits gone real. Great vid your very knowledgeable.
I have these speakers non powered Passive connected to my Yamaha Receiver that (clicks) over to 4 Ohm & in my Mobile Home Bedroom up on Speaker Lifts cranked up 4" from hitting ceiling. I have aJLAUDIO 15" Sub in a cabinet Box that can hold 2, but cut out for one, standing up on end, vent port in back powered with a Crown Amp 300 Watts in 4 Ohm.. In my Bedroom! EV ZLX 12" in Living rooms.ALESIS R500 amps. Class A/B Bridged.
I also upgraded from a JBL EON rig with 2 x 515XT tops (15”) & 2 x 518S subs, to a Turbosound IQ rig with 2 x 10” tops and 2 x 18” subs and the audio quality and SPL levels are just in another class. The 10’s go so damn loud I actually need 2 x IQ18B’s for each IQ10!
Hey John, just started watching your channel tonight. I love your cap when notice Baltimore Ravens I had subscribe to your channel brother,Go Ravens. Congratulations on the baby
I own the iq12s. The sound quality and clarity of these speakers is amazing however they do not handle bass very well so you really need to pull the bass out of them and pair them with subs if you’re going to be playing dance music. I play hard techno and psytrance and they are amazing for the mids and highs. My 12’s have a far greater output than pretty much any 15 inch powered speaker from RCF or EV in the same price range.
Let me just add this. Before any of you ask, "How's the low end?", It is an 8in speaker. There is very little to no low-end. The speaker sounds awesome. But you will need a subwoofer. I don't understand why some of you think that just 2 speakers will give you a full range sound regardless of manufacturer. That is all.
@@ikkangoochelen There is a, somewhat, rule of thumb . . . Indoors, 5W / person . . . Outdoors, 10W / person. While these are NOT Exact, it is a good parameter for calculating Sound Requirements. So, for These iQ8s, I would use them for an indoor crowd of about 150 ppl.
Turbo Sound iq12 is one of the best, nice, powerful and cheap loudspeakers on the market. clark Teknik does wonders with this column. it is strong, it almost reaches the JBL srx 812. at this price it is the only good choice. If you want something better, double the price. Jbl srx, Ev Etx.
Hey John, just an FYI @8 minutes. The other speakers listed there are not turbo sound models; the E8 is made by d&b audiotechnik and the F8+ is made by Martin. Just a clarification.
Great content once again! It seems like you're getting a lot of pro features you normally don't find under 1K! How do you think these stack up to the EV ETX 12p?
I installed a pair of the IQ 15s in a 400 seat sanctuary. We also used a pair of iNSPIRE iP82 passive speakers as fills for the back and I can say in my opinion they stomp many other speakers in their respective price ranges. I would say a pair of subs would have been a smart addition but we were working with a limited budget.
I'm looking at the iq10. I have no where in canada to go test these out so I may just buy it and cross my fingers. I saw a few tests of it online and I been hearing muddy vibrations so I'm kind of nervous. It is a toss up between the jbl eon 610 or QSC cp8 or cp12 or turbosound iQ10. I'm doing it for my home basement setup djing and beat making with my mpc one. Tough decisions.
I’ve heard the 12s sounds nice 3 year warranty no question about the quality turbo sound need to offer a better warranty QSC AND EV 5 6 years Yamaha also 6 years
The limiter function i think is separate than the speaker own protection limiter, because on a wedding company they had the iq15 and always use them without limiter, pushing them hard, and a year later they still going strong
Correct, the IQ series has a non-user adjustable limiter still in place when you have the user-adjustable limiter deactivated, to keep protecting the drivers etc.
Hi, hopefully you can help me… I purchased the IQ15’s, and only days outside warranty it went down!! I’m sure it’s the board! Not the speakers… if I ship it back to Thomann in Germany it will cost a fortune to fix! Is there a fuse on the board I could check??
John, couple of questions: Have you tried stacking these horizontally? Any comb filtering issues? How about double pole mounting them? Also, how do these stack up against the iQ12 in terms of SPL output? Sound quality?
Hey man Iam thinking of getting the iq15 ! My qsc 12 2.2 went to crap after two years and i also baby them never push them at all and l realized qsc had the internals manufactured by China so that’s why many ppl are having problems they even admitted and stated they were getting a new manufacturer so who ever owns them beware of future issues or i recommend you stay away !!! I just shipped them to qsc last week to get fixed but i am honestly getting rid of them and want to switch up to another brand . My budget is $2000 I have heard the turbosound before and l love the clean sound . Are they great as durable and reliable ? Iam between the rcf 915 series and the turbosound iq15 l just want clean sound and good bass so that’s why Iam leaning to turbosound but rcf has a great history ! Many DJS have recommended turbosound Can anyone help on some feedback?????
I been saying this for years about running extentions all over the place for powered speakers, that they should have a power bar or an outlet(powercon) connected to the box, good thing some speaker giant got the memo, now hopefully we get copycats for other brands
Annoys me when they all do this...people need to be educated properly/learn whats inside counts too with drivers and hf most DECENT branded pro line 8” drivers only are around 200/300w and most HF are 50w depending of what power on amp dsp has been limted too i had them all and got to listen to CUSTOM made system with a very good active amp most company’s dont make there own amps just stick there own logo over/on it! Had them all rcf, fbt, other brands so far still big fan of the fbt 114a actually has pro drivers inside but the custom system i heard was lets say unreal much better then anyyyyy branded system out there for double ££££ blue acoustic sound UK
Hey John, Thanks for the video. I currently have a few of the 12'" Turbo sound floor monitors for our band along with the 18 IQ sub. Looking too add a set of tops to complete the rig. would you suggest the 12" IQ tops? also for small club type shows will i be able to get away with the just the one 18" IQ sub? or do you think two will be needed?
Everyone says they're from the great state of ______. We're from the Pretty Average State of New Jersey. We're ok with that. We know who lives here. (thanks for the shout out)
The vrx932la goes about 2-3 times as loud as these. Remember, there's a great difference between line array(constant curvature) and point source. The vrx also costs way more. These can however go very loud for the size. You can run small events with these as mains(with subs), but these also have other purposes. Like being used as monitors, front fills or even delay units. The better unit to compare to the vrx is going to be the berlin 12' from turbosound.
@@KAYBE_CO Thanks. I guess I don't understand the difference which is constant curvature. I look at decibels and wattage and then wonder how could there be that much difference.
@@bill.22 wattage comes into play with the very very expensive line array boxes, where you need every bit of power you can squeeze out of a box. In powered consumer speaker market power means absolutely nothing. Some manufacturers also have some insane wattage claims, that are very wrong.
@@DjWooPig if you get a chance it is a great stand alone option. And having a sub gives you a good full sound. Its been the go to ceremony and cocktail speaker.
Has anyone come across fakes? They brought it to me for repair and I found a strange thing - the speaker cones fell apart as if they were made of toilet paper! They don't look like the ones you see in ads for sale. I took photos and videos. Respond, who else came across IQ8 with problematic speakers!
To be honest I would imagine it better to let us hear it before you blind us with the science and tech. It is after all AUDIO equipment and thats more important. Back to front review dude.
You're 100% wrong my black brother... sigh. Located in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, UK, the company was founded in 1974 by brothers Terence and Phillip Clarke. It developed a number of new types of equipment in the audio field, winning a Queen's Awards for Enterprise in 1986. It is now owned by Music Tribe. I cannot recommend you to anyone... Please go learn about pro audio... do some basic courses, buy the Yamaha Sound Bible... Come on now!!!

Glad to hear!
What about QSC
@@codychavarria6088 I did a sound comparison and liked turbosound better
Would you choose them over RCF as well?

Both the IQ8 and the K8.2 are great choices, but for the sake of uniformity since you already have k12s and kw181 I would just get the QSCs

did they get bought out by Behringer?
I been saying this for years about running extentions all over the place for powered speakers, that they should have a power bar or an outlet(powercon) connected to the box, good thing some speaker giant got the memo, now hopefully we get copycats for other brands
So, it seems like a modernized version of cerwin vega’s cva-28 with more power and features.
2 holes are important!
RIGHT!!?!!
John Simmons real important !!!
How do you compare with qsc?
Review of the chamsys quickQ30 and in debth in your backline setup such a drums and bass etc.
QuickQ 30 is gone. Just not what I needed currently. The drums I can do tho!
What about the QSC K.2 series?
I see that the eq are fixed? I didn't see any custom settings for the eq.
That's if you're using the speakers with an X-32 console
🤔is the 2500peak? rms 1250/2 is 625rms for each speaker? (woofer/horn) i would like to know what woofer they using to handle 2500watt....just curious.
The wattage is unimportant. The number you should be looking for is SPL. And on this unit, it is 126 db.
Annoys me when they all do this...people need to be educated properly/learn whats inside counts too with drivers and hf most DECENT branded pro line 8” drivers only are around 200/300w and most HF are 50w depending of what power on amp dsp has been limted too i had them all and got to listen to CUSTOM made system with a very good active amp most company’s dont make there own amps just stick there own logo over/on it! Had them all rcf, fbt, other brands so far still big fan of the fbt 114a actually has pro drivers inside but the custom system i heard was lets say unreal much better then anyyyyy branded system out there for double ££££ blue acoustic sound UK
Have you listened to the Ip300's? If so what's your opinion about those?
I haven’t as of yet. That’s the next move!
Hey John, Thanks for the video. I currently have a few of the 12'" Turbo sound floor monitors for our band along with the 18 IQ sub. Looking too add a set of tops to complete the rig. would you suggest the 12" IQ tops? also for small club type shows will i be able to get away with the just the one 18" IQ sub? or do you think two will be needed?
For smaller shows the 12s would be fine I imagine. You definitely want at least one sub, if it’s not enough l, add another!
Hey john I watched you video twice. Would these be good for live bands. I was thinking more of the 15’s
Will the iq15 be good and strong for outside
Everyone says they're from the great state of ______. We're from the Pretty Average State of New Jersey. We're ok with that. We know who lives here. (thanks for the shout out)
I love prx is best so much
Hey Jonh Great videos man. Have you ever tryed anything from K-Array? Or at least heard it in a live environment?
I got the chance to hear a K Ararat rig at namm 2020. Very impressed with the output for the size!
Zzounds doesn't carry the iQ8 but they have the iQ10, are they the same in sound and features?
I’ve never laid hands on the iq10 but I’m sure it’s just as impressive. You could always call them. The will be able to get you one.
@@DjWooPig around what room capacity, (people) can these speakers reach. Thinking about trying these for my church, will they handle a live band?
I’ve used these as front fills at concerts for 1000 + people.
Looks great. What’s the peak dB SPL?
128db
John Simmons Wow! That’s impressive for such a small professional speaker! Thanks 🙏 for the reply.
Thx WooPig
Thanks for watching!
What hardware would one need to fly those?
Forged eye bolts from your hardware store or from the manufacturer. Always be careful when flying your PA!
How these compare to the ev elx200 10p or bose s1monitor ?
Not even in the same league.
John Simmons so turbosound is better?
Does IQ10 sounds better than IQ8 ???
So at 2500 watts and less than half the price, do these really compare to a VRX932LAP.....in high quality sound?
I want speakers I can fly that are small, high quality and very very powerful. Is this it?
The vrx932la goes about 2-3 times as loud as these. Remember, there's a great difference between line array(constant curvature) and point source. The vrx also costs way more. These can however go very loud for the size. You can run small events with these as mains(with subs), but these also have other purposes. Like being used as monitors, front fills or even delay units. The better unit to compare to the vrx is going to be the berlin 12' from turbosound.
Tech you hit the nail on the head. The ip8 and VRX isn’t an apples to apples comparison.
@@KAYBE_CO Thanks. I guess I don't understand the difference which is constant curvature. I look at decibels and wattage and then wonder how could there be that much difference.
@@bill.22 wattage comes into play with the very very expensive line array boxes, where you need every bit of power you can squeeze out of a box. In powered consumer speaker market power means absolutely nothing. Some manufacturers also have some insane wattage claims, that are very wrong.
Try out Funktion One, you wont go back to anything after that
You pay for it and I’ll try anything!
Ayeee Raven Nation uce!!! Haha
saw a review last night was also looking at EV Evolve 50
I can say I haven’t thought about it, I just hate they aren’t as versatile as a tradition speaker on a stand.
Talking about column array speakers have you heard the JBL Eon one. We have one of those and it sounds amazing.
I have not, but I have several friends that like them.
@@DjWooPig if you get a chance it is a great stand alone option. And having a sub gives you a good full sound. Its been the go to ceremony and cocktail speaker.
iq8 is nice for the price, dont like the screen and buttons etc, too much for idiots to fuck around with but sound and build quality is good
also the reason turbo now makes affordable gear is because music group (behringer,midas etc) bought them
It does have a lock feature which is nice but I get what you’re saying! Also, you’re probably right, gotta make money where you can!
Has anyone come across fakes? They brought it to me for repair and I found a strange thing - the speaker cones fell apart as if they were made of toilet paper! They don't look like the ones you see in ads for sale. I took photos and videos. Respond, who else came across IQ8 with problematic speakers!
Sooooo size dose not metter
In some cases no. But in most cases yes. 😉

To be honest I would imagine it better to let us hear it before you blind us with the science and tech. It is after all AUDIO equipment and thats more important. Back to front review dude.
Bluetooth??????????????????????
You're 100% wrong my black brother... sigh.
Located in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, UK, the company was founded in 1974 by brothers Terence and Phillip Clarke. It developed a number of new types of equipment in the audio field, winning a Queen's Awards for Enterprise in 1986. It is now owned by Music Tribe.
I cannot recommend you to anyone... Please go learn about pro audio... do some basic courses, buy the Yamaha Sound Bible... Come on now!!!
I'm disliking this video for the simple fact you're wearing a ravens hat...🏌🏾♂️
Awesome review bro. I will buy this speaker
You won’t be let down.
