Get wide dispersion from a single 26.2-pound speaker. The iNSPIRE iP300 gives you 600 watts of power and a 3-channel mixer you can remote-control via iOS.

The INSPIRE iP300 delivers a powerful, high-quality sound and optimized dispersion inspired by line array speaker systems - in a surprisingly lightweight and easy to use, all-in-one form factor. Thanks to an on-board 3-channel digital mixer and multichannel 600-Watt Class-D amplifier driving 2 x 6.5" high excursion low frequency drivers and 4 x 2" neodymium drivers, the iP300 is ideally-suited for small to medium-sized performance venues, houses of worship, boardroom presentations, nightclubs, and much more.

Weighing in at a very modest 26.2 lbs, the iP300 is easy to transport and features KLARK TEKNIK Spatial Sound Technology, reverb, and class-D multichannel amplifier - plus convenient Bluetooth stereo audio streaming and iPhone/iPad remote control.

Tiny PA - 600 Watts of Perfect Sound

Compact and designed for maximum portability, iP300 setup is fast and easy; just attach the column section(s) to the base and connect your mic or mixer feed and power. Revolutionary Class-D amplifier technology provides 600 Watts of incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable and lightweight package. The lightweight Switch Mode Power Supply, coupled with a DSP module, provides dynamic equalization and limiting functions to ensure optimal performance and long-term reliability. The powerful iP300 fills 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 read more line array systems you've experienced at concerts and outdoor festivals, the 2" neodymium midrange / extended high-frequency drivers in the iP300 columns are strategically placed to provide an extremely wide 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 differential between sound waves reaching the left and right ears, iP300's groundbreaking Spatial Sound Technology (SST) creates a wide, well-defined 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 correct position within the soundscape, for a performance that is beautifully open and transparent - with unparalleled intelligibility.

DSP - the Secret to Superb Sound

From the instant your signal enters the iP300, 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 specific filters to actually improve the sound quality.

Hey guys this is a hidden gem of a speaker right here. I recently purchased this unit (single unit) and had a chance to practice with it in a hall that seats @ 250 people. My family's singing group consists of 3 vocalists with an acoustic guitar and backing tracks. The speaker sounds great with a flat studio monitor like quality. Mid frequencies seem to be a strong point with great clarity and excellent projection. The bass is better than expected, but note that the cabinet is ported to the rear. I suspect placement against a wall would benefit the bass. I could not get the speaker to distort, and as the other review says, it likes to play loud. The dispersion is every bit of 180 degrees with little drop of in the top frequencies. We all sang 10 feet directly in front of the unit with Beta58's and did not have feedback issues. The consensus among our group is that 2 of these speakers would power just about any venue we would play. We took a chance on this vs the larger IP2000 and I believe that 2 of these and a powered sub would be ideal for a modular portable system. I have played just about every week at church for several years with 2 Bose L1C's and I would say these are very similar in sound quality, but a bit louder.
