Tiny PA – 600 Watts of
Perfect Sound
Designed for maximum portability, iP500’s
column sections and subwoofer t neatly into
their included carry bags, and setup is fast
and easy; just attach the column section(s)
to the base and connect your mic or mixer
feed and power. Our revolutionary Class-D
ampli er technology provides 600 Watts of
incredible sonic performance in an easy-touse, ultra-portable and lightweight package.
This amazing technology makes it possible to
design and build extremely powerful products
that are signi cantly lighter in weight than
their traditional counterparts, while using
less energy and protecting the environment.
The lightweight Switch Mode Power Supply, coupled with an industry-leading DSP
module, provides dynamic equalisation and sophisticated limiting functions to ensure
optimal performance and long-term reliability. The powerful iP500 lls the room with
the world-famous TURBOSOUND “sound” that has won the coveted Queen’s Award – an
unprecedented three times.

Outstanding Sound Dispersion
Much like the huge line array systems you’ve
experienced at concerts and outdoor festivals
(we make those too), the 2" neodymium
midrange / extended high-frequency drivers
in the iP500 columns are strategically placed
to provide up to a 100° horizontal dispersion
pattern. Such wide coverage eliminates the
need for monitor wedges for the performers
and creates a more even, sonically balanced
soundscape that covers the entire room.
By taking advantage of the arrival-time
di erential between sound waves reaching
the left and right ears, iP500’s groundbreaking
Spatial Sound Technology (SST) creates a
wide, well-de ned virtual 3-D acoustic environment, enveloping the listener in a richer
and more realistic experience. No matter where you sit, the location of the onstage voices
and instruments are perceived in their rightful position within the soundscape, for a
performance that is beautifully open and transparent – with unparalleled intelligibility.

TURBOSOUND is proud to incorporate custom-engineered KLARK TEKNIK Class-D ampli er and
DSP technologies into their products.
DSP – The Secret to Superb Sound
From the instant your signal enters the iP500, the built-in DSP takes over ensuring the highest possible
signal integrity. Much more than just selective EQ enhancement, the 24-bit processor analyses the
incoming signal and intelligently applies speci c lters to actually improve the sound quality. It’s like
having an audio engineer monitoring the input and output signals, dialing in the perfect EQ and
constantly making subtle adjustments to the crossover, compressor/limiter, three discrete ampli er
channels and more – all of which adds up to signi cantly better sound.
Custom-Engineered Drivers
Our speakers are designed speci cally for each application – it’s what sets us apart from the
competition. When you buy a TURBOSOUND speaker system, you can rest assured that the speakers
inside have been engineered to perform awlessly in conjunction with every other element for truly
professional results.
