Networking capability

All iQ powered loudspeakers offer remote control via USB. The USB connection allows the user to configure and monitor all DSP parameters using dedicated iQ software for PC.

The DSP firmware can also be updated via the USB connection. Visit turbosound.com for the latest firmware version.

IQ speakers also offer proprietary ULTRANET networking capabilities through the ULTRANET IN and THRU connections using CATS cables with R45 connectors. ULTRANET allows the user to transmit undirectionally up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit audio throughout the IQ system, as well as other ULTRANET-equipped devices such as digital mixers and personal monitor systems. Up to 7 devices can be connected in series on a single ULTRANET cable. ULTRANET can also be used for remote control of the IQ selection of modeled speakers.

Networked mains power

IQ loudspeakers also facilitate network transmission of mains power using power cables with Neutrik powerCOI locking power connectors. To set up networked mains power between IQ loudspeakers, first run a power cable terminating in a powerCOI connector to the AC INPUT connector on the rear panel. To power additional speakers dvemline, run power cables equipped with powerCOI connectors at both ends from the first speaker's AC LINK OUTPUT to the AC INPUT of the next IQ loudspeaker in series. The maximum number of linked systems depends on the AC supply voltage as well as the maximum current draw of the individual systems in the power chain. When linking a power chain, make sure that the integrated connectors as well as the supplied AC mains cable are never overloaded. If you are uncertain how to calculate the total current draw, please contact your dealer.

Mounting and fi xing

IQ series powered loudspeakers are designed with multiple internal rigging points to suit many possible mounting methods in permanent installations. All cabinets can be simply suspended using optional M10 eyebelts coupled to the internal rigging points provided on the top, bottom, sides and back. The simplest method is to use the two rigging points on the top and a single pull-back rigging point in the centre of the rear panel. Remove the appropriate plastic caps and insert eyebelts, which must have a thread length of at least 30 mm. Use the rear rigging point to angle the cabinet for optimum room coverage.

Wall and Ceiling Brackets

TURBOSOUND IQ8-W8, IQ10-W8, IQ12-W8 and IQ15-W8 wall and ceiling brackets are optionally available for IQ series.

The graphic below shows the assembly of the optional mounting brackets (IQB-WB, IQ10-WB, IQ12-WB and IQ15-WB).

Pole Mounting

Fullrange iQ loudspeaker models (iQ8, iQ10, iQ12 and iQ15) may also be pole mounted, either independently or in conjunction with iQ subwoofer models (iQ15B, iQ18B). The iQ pole mount sockets allow fullrange models to be mounted straight or angled 7.5° downwards for optimum coverage.

1Q10, 1Q12 and 1Q15 models may also be placed on one side and deployed as wedge monitors. These models have been designed with sides angled at 43° to help with upward sound dispersion.

Transport

The subworkers are supplied with castors for ease of transportation when used as a portable sound system. To assemble the castors to the back of the cabinets, remove the 16 bolts from the rear of the speaker, align the castors with the mount holes and replace the bolts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory used must be safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.

When mounting digging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in accordance with the maker's instructions.

The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flown system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualified and certified (by local state or national authorities) personnel prior to any installation or filing.

Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and flown by qualified and certified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system.

Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. MUSIC Group, including the MUSIC Group companies listed on the enclosed "Service Information Sheet", assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular checks must be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is blown, the area underneath the speaker is free of human traffic. Do not fly the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.

Speakers create a magnetic field, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fields (discs, computers, monitors, etc.) at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
