No longer available at zZounds
This 33-pound portable PA system provides 600 watts of powerful sound! With two XLR-1/4" mic/line inputs and Bluetooth streaming audio, it's a stellar value.

Not just a "column" loudspeaker, the INSPIRE iP500 delivers the powerful, high-quality sound and optimized dispersion inspired by Turbosound's award-winning line array products -- 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 a custom-engineered 8" subwoofer and 6 x 2" neodymium drivers, the iP500 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 15 kg (33 lbs), the iP500 is easy to transport and features industry-leading KLARK TEKNIK Digital Sound Processing (DSP), Class-D amplifier and Spatial Sound technologies -- plus convenient Bluetooth stereo audio streaming and iPhone/iPad remote control.

Tiny PA - 600 Watts of Perfect Sound

Designed for maximum portability, iP500's column sections and subwoofer fit 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. Turbosound's revolutionary Class-D amplifier technology provides 600 Watts of incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable and lightweight package. This amazing technology makes it possible to design and build extremely powerful products that are significantly lighter in weight than their traditional counterparts, while using less energy and protecting the read more environment. The lightweight Switch Mode Power Supply, coupled with an industry-leading DSP module, provides dynamic equalization and sophisticated limiting functions to ensure optimal performance and long-term reliability. The powerful iP500 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 line array systems you've experienced at concerts and outdoor festivals, 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 differential between sound waves reaching the left and right ears, iP500'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 rightful 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 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 specific filters 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.
