Turbosound iX15 1000 Watt 2 Way 15" Powered Loudspeaker with Klark Teknik DSP Technology, Remote Control via iPhone/iPad and Bluetooth Audio Streaming - DEMO

iX15

The 1000-Watt iX15 is a powered two-way 15" loudspeaker with Bluetooth* audio streaming ideally suited for a wide range of portable and fixed music and speech sound reinforcement applications. A state-of-the-art Klark Teknik DSP controls the built-in 3-channel digital mixer via a single-knob user interface, as well as providing comprehensive wireless remote control via dedicated app for iPhone/iPad. The iX15’s powerful 15" low frequency driver and 1" titanium dome compression driver ensure highest-quality low end, extended high frequency reproduction and articulate midrange reproduction.

The iX15 is fitted with a dual angle pole mount socket, allowing it to be pole mounted straight on, or raised higher and angled downwards to optimise audience coverage. The lightweight fibre glass reinforced composite enclosure is fitted with a rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille.

Class-D – 1000 Watts of Perfect Sound

Thanks to our revolutionary Class-D amplifier technology, we are able to provide enormous power and incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable and lightweight package. Class-D amplification makes all the difference, offering the ultimate in energy efficiency and eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks. This amazing technology makes it possible to design and build extremely powerful products that are significantly lighter in weight than their traditional counterparts, while using less energy and protecting the environment. The lightweight Switch Mode Power Supply, coupled with the industry-leading Klark Teknik Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module, provides dynamic equalisation and sophisticated limiting functions, ensuring optimal performance and long-term reliability. An efficient and lightweight Klark Teknik Class-D power amplifier provides the iX15’s bi-amplified 1000-Watt output.

KLARK TEKNIK DSP – the Secret to Superb Sound

Klark Teknik is recognised worldwide as one of the most prestigious British audio companies, with a 40-year pedigree and a TEC Lifetime Achievement Award to back it up. The Company has designed and manufactured products for world-class artists, and their legendary DN780 reverb processor is considered by leading audio engineers around the world as the industry standard. Check out their website to learn more about Klark Teknik’s legendary heritage.

Turbosound is proud to incorporate custom-engineered Klark Teknik DSP into their products. From the instant your signal enters the iX15, the built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) takes over, ensuring the highest possible signal integrity. Much more than just selective EQ enhancement, the iX15’s 24-bit DSP analyses the incoming signal and intelligently applies specific filters to actually improve the sound quality. It is very much like having an audio engineer monitoring the input and output signals of each iX15, dialing in the perfect EQ and constantly making subtle adjustments to the crossover, compressor/limiter and more – which all adds up to significantly better sound.

Bluetooth Ready

The days of tape decks, CD and even mp3 players are long gone. Now your music lives on your smartphone or computer tablet, so you can stop searching for those outdated cables and fancy adapters. An industry first, the iX15 puts all your music at your fingertips via stereo Bluetooth. Now with a simple wave of your hand, you can stream music from any Bluetooth-equipped iOS device, such as your iPad, iPhone – or even your laptop computer.

Comprehensive Remote Control

We take Bluetooth a step further, giving you total control of the iX15 directly from you iPhone or iPad. This amazing feature lets you adjust all settings from either the listening area or the stage, for the perfect sound every time. The iX15 Bluetooth app even allows the user to define one iX15 as the master, and the other as the slave – so the music stream is presented in true stereo.The dedicated apps are available free of charge at turbosound.com, or from the Apple App Store.

Custom-Engineered Drivers

Powerful, high-efficiency Class-D amplifiers and Switch Mode Power Supply technology coupled with state-of-the-art DSP functionality sounds very impressive – but what about the part of the system you actually hear? We are known internationally for making some of the best-sounding speaker systems in the world, so we take our drivers (woofers and tweeters) very seriously. Our LF and HF drivers are designed specifically for each application – it is what sets us apart from the competition. When you buy an iX15 loudspeaker, you can rest assured the genuine Turbosound 15" LF driver with low mass voice coil, and 1" exit titanium dome compression driver have been engineered to perform flawlessly in conjunction with every other element for truly professional results.

Intuitive User Interface

On the rear panel amplifier module, you will find a fully featured user interface consisting of an LCD display and single rotary encoder for intuitive access to level, EQ, and frequency response presets for pole or stand-mounted front of house, or floor monitor scenarios. In addition to the two combination balanced XLR/jack inputs, an XLR Output is provided for daisy-chaining more active loudspeakers, or for use with an active subwoofer.

Stunning Performance – Superb Value

The iX15 active PA loudspeaker stands head and shoulders above the rest of the pack and delivers exceptional performance, even when pushed to the limit. Ultra-lightweight and powerful with custom-designed transducers, an integrated mixer, stereo Bluetooth streaming, iPhone/iPad remote control, 1000 Watts of Klark Teknik’s Class-D output power and Digital Sound Processing, the iX15 is ideal for both portable and installed applications – at a price unheard of in this class.
