Lightweight bre glass reinforced



composite enclosure

The 2,500-Watt iQ12 is a powered

two-way loudspeaker ideally suited

for a wide range of portable and

xed installation, music and speech

sound reinforcement applications.

The driver complement includes an

12" low frequency driver with a low

mass voice coil for improved transient

response, and a high temperature

1" compression driver with copper-

clad aluminium voice coil for extended

high frequency reproduction.

Equipped with a very ecient and lightweight two channel KLARK TEKNIK

Class-D power amplier, the iQ12 provides an impressive 2,500 Watts of

output power. A high degree of control over the loudspeaker system’s

performance is managed by a sophisticated, but easy to use KLARK TEKNIK

Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which provides dynamic EQ for remarkable

full range response at low volume levels, and transparent limiting for the

utmost clarity at high output levels – and long-term reliability. iQ12’s

advanced DSP speaker modelling presets include detailed and accurate

models of some of the audio industry’s most-respected loudspeakers.

Rugged powder coated perforated



steel mesh grille

Dual angle pole mount for accurate



audience coverage

KLARK TEKNIK also developed a highly versatile Spatial Contour Control

(SCC) DSP function, which allows the user to easily optimise the iQ12’s

frequency response for the physical speaker placement. This advanced

functionality provides frequency compensation for stand, oor, wall or

ceiling placement, much like the adjustments commonly found on studio

reference monitors.

On the rear panel amplier module, you will nd a fully featured user

interface consisting of an LCD display, the Channel A and B gain controls,

and a single rotary encoder for intuitive access to level, EQ, Speaker

modelling, SCC, Subwoofer Integration and Feedback Control (FBI).

In addition to the two combination balanced XLR/jack inputs, balanced

XLR outputs for each of the two independent channels, and a Mix Out XLR

connector, the iQ8 features a mic/line switch and level control with signal

present LED on each channel.

The iQ8 also features our proprietary ULTRANET technology, which allows

the use of CAT5 cables for transmitting pristine multi-channel audio

signals and other information between ULTRANET-enabled products, such

as digital mixers and personal monitor systems. This digital distribution

networking not only eliminates the potential for RFI and crosstalk so

common to analogue methods, but also signicantly reduces the setup or

installation time required. An onboard USB port provides access for remote

control of the iQ8 via PC computer, as well as DSP and speaker modelling

rmware updates.

The lightweight bre glass reinforced composite enclosure is tted with a

rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille and multiple internal

rigging points for permanent installations. The iQ8 is also tted with a

dual angle pole mount socket, allowing the enclosure to be pole mounted

straight on, or raised and angled downwards for optimal audience

coverage. Mains power input and link output is provided via Neutrik

powerCON* connectors.

Mounting and Rigging

The cabinet is tted with M10 x 3 internally-threaded rigging points that allow it to be rigged with optional shoulder eyebolts in dierent
congurations in permanent installations. The simplest method of rigging is to use the two M10 rigging points on the top, and a single pull-back
rigging point on the rear panel. Adjustment of the length of the rear cable allows the cabinet to be angled for optimum room coverage.

The cabinet is tted with a dual angle pole mount socket, allowing the enclosure to be pole mounted straight on, or raised and angled downwards
for optimal audience coverage

The optional iQ12-WB wall bracket allows the cabinet to be surface mounted horizontally and vertically, and angled for optimum positioning
and coverage.

Suspension using M10
shoulder eyebolts.

Mounting on 35 mm
pole or speaker stand.

iQ12-WB wall bracket:
horizontal mounting.

iQ12-WB wall bracket:
