The 2 way full range NuQ152 is a
switchable passive/bi-amp 2,000 Watt
15" loudspeaker system ideally suited
for a wide range of speech and music
sound reinforcement applications.
Engineered to work in conjunction
with TURBOSOUND loudspeaker
management systems, the NuQ152
provides optimal performance
for FOH, side ll and delay line
loudspeakers, and is an exceptional
choice for wedge monitoring
applications. The symmetrical trapezoidal shape and high frequency
dispersion pattern also make the NuQ152 an obvious choice for mirrored
left/right monitor wedge placement.
The NuQ152 loudspeaker features a carbon bre loaded 15" low frequency
driver with an inside/outside wound low mass voice coil for improved
transient response, and an aluminium dome 1" neodymium high frequency
compression driver mounted on a 70° horizontal by 70° vertical dispersion
low distortion waveguide. All drivers are matched with an internal passive
crossover network in a re ex-loaded enclosure, and bi-amp mode can be
enabled by means of a rear panel switch. The rear panel connector plate
carries Neutrik speakON* NL4 connectors for input and link connections to
additional enclosures.
Finished in a highly durable semi matt black paint, the cabinet is constructed
from 15 mm (⁄") birch plywood – and includes a rugged powder coated
perforated steel mesh grille backed with reticulated foam. Multiple threaded
rigging points are provided for suspension in any orientation, or for
mounting with industry standard wall brackets. An optional ying yoke
allows for further exibility in install applications (available separately).
The NuQ152 also features a 35 mm socket for standard pole mounting –
plus integrated handles for convenient transport.

Mounting and Rigging
The cabinet is tted with M10 x 12 and M8 x 4 internally-threaded rigging points that allow it to be rigged with optional shoulder eyebolts and
mounted in many 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 in the centre of the rear panel. Adjustment of the length of the rear cable allows the cabinet to be
angled for optimum room coverage. Cabinets may also be hung upside down if required.
The cabinet has an integral 35 mm pole mount socket in the bottom panel, that allows it to be pole mounted. The cabinet is compatible with
TURBOSOUND brackets, and industry standard brackets.
The optional NuQ152-FY y yoke adds further installation exibility for sca old, surface, and pole mounting.
Suspension using M10
shoulder eyebolts.
Mounting on 35 mm NuQ152-FY y yoke.

with swept sine wave input, shall be at within ±3 dB from 50 Hz to 18 kHz and within -10 dB from 45 Hz to 20 kHz. Nominal dispersion,
at -6 dB points, shall average 70° H x 70° V. Nominal impedance shall be HF: 6 Ohms, LF: 8 Ohms; passive: 8 Ohms. Power handling shall
be HF: 40 Watts continuous, 160 Watts peak, LF: 500 Watts continuous, 2,000 Watts peak; passive: 500 Watts continuous, 2,000 Watts peak.
Sensitivity, measured on axis, mean averaged over stated bandwidth, shall be 97 dB, 1 Watt @ 1 metre. Maximum SPL (peak), measured at
1 metre with music program at stated ampli er input, shall be HF: 128 dB, LF: 130 dB; passive: 130 dB. Dimensions: 712 mm high x 430 mm
wide x 385 mm deep (28" x 16.9" x 15.2"). Net weight: 24.4 kg (53.7 lbs). The loudspeaker system shall be the TURBOSOUND NuQ152. No other
loudspeaker shall be acceptable unless submitted data from an independent test laboratory veri es that the above combined performance /
size speci cations are equaled or exceeded.
