I sent back a Samson VX8.1 line array pa unit that was not working properly and decided instead to buy a Turbosound IP1000 which I rec'd 10/12/2019.  I only ran the IP1000 a few hours to practice on my Roland RD-2000. The rear metal plate where inputs plug in, gets almost too hot to touch.  Should I be concerned about internal heat build up as I don't see a visible cooling fan nor any air vent ports.  On the Samson VX8.1 I returned, plus many other models I've researched, do have a visible cooling fan and or air venting with some having possible non-visible internal fans. On this blog somewhere, I read someone was asking IF there was an effective way to retrofit a cooling fan solution for their speaker.  I do "know" that excessive heat does in fact break down electronics over time.  IS there any internal fan or any air porting/venting in any of the Turbosound Inspire IP1000 thru IP3000 models? I like the sound I'm hearing, I'm also thinking about pa system longevity too.

Hello, 

I will be attending the bpm trade show this weekend in Birmingham and o note that you will also be attending, I did enquire last year about the ip300 but you hadn't brought 1 with you

if poss can I ask that you take 1 this year so I can have a look / listen as very interested in a pair

 thanks Ryan

Hi all.  Am a new owner of a IP300.  I plan to get another, plus one or two subs, and am looking at different online purchase options.  Are the European models of Turbosound speakers identical to North American models, apart from the fuse?  i.e., if I bought a European model of the IP300, could I make it North America "ready" simply by changing the T 3.15 A H 250 V fuse to the T 6.3 A H 250 V?  

I have 2 IQ15's that are less than a year old and really haven't had much use.

At Saturday's show one of them after being powered on for about 3 minute and without any load shows "over temp" on the display and stops audio output.

Contacted the point of sale and it's a 4-6 week turnaround for repair, which is very disappointing indeed.

Anyone else had this issue?

Hey all,

I have been using the IP2000's for a few months now.   They sound great....until I have to push them for a bit more volume.  I have a small band with pre recorded tracks for Bass and Drums...we sing and play guitar over these tracks.

I seems there is a general agreement to set everything on the speakers DSP to "0" to use these as a PA speaker with a mixer.   However, it seems there is not a clear explaination as to how much input to use to optimize the output of the speaker.  

The ouput runs hot and pegs out very quickly...to the point the system will cut out or clip.  I think Turbosound should do a video addressing input and output settings.  On the DSP display it will show the input at two bars and the output quickly goes off the scale.   It is hard to balance these two settings.  

Does anyone have their own experiences to share?

We inherited the use of some ip82 and we have also purchased some in order to

balance the system and keep the systems intact. Used as std. upper-mid unit.

The overall impression is a good compromise of enclosure, woofer, crossover and horn 

dispersion, but not the tweeter which is a disappointment when compared to the rest

of the system. We therefore have to use DSP correction files in our loudspeaker management

adapted to various venues in order to correct for this. Otherwise, it measures reasonable,

but sound harsh, no distinctive upper end etc. When will this unit be upgraded?
