Class D Klark Teknik power amplifier provides high output and low weight
A decade ago, if you've have told anyone here at Sweetwater that we'd someday carry a 3,000-watt, 18" powered subwoofer weighing only about 100 lbs., we probably would have laughed out loud. But here it is, the Turbosound iQ18B, and it's an amazing way to beef up your live sound rig. Add to that the fact that the iQ18B is about 2' in any dimension and that it's got integrated castors on back (so it still sits flat) and you've got yourself one truly portable workhorse sub.
Ultranet technology makes advanced integration with the rest of your gear easy
Now let's focus on the technological side of the Turbosound iQ18B. The iQ18B 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 iQ18B includes Klark Teknik digital signal processing, which provides total control over your sound, including extremely cool speaker emulation.
Flexible enough for live sound professionals, Durable enough for life on the road
Urtranet connectivity isn't the only thing that makes the Turbosound iQ18B an extremely flexible live sound tool. A full-featured LCD interface and USB connectivity for software-based configuration make that aspect of the iQ18B totally easy to use. On an even more practical side, you get things like an integrated 36mm (1.417") pole mount and Neutrik powerCON connectors to make configuring your iQ18B powered subwoofer with other gear a breeze. Top it off with a rugged powder coated grille and sealed birch plywood enclosure, and you can take your iQ18B on the road, worry free.
