Turbosound iP82

I bought these out of the blue to go with my IP15B's...
I paired two ip82's with two ip15b's and also ip12B's: I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I thought that this setup would be underpowered on the mid/highs, but this was not the case. Most sets are presented as a 2.1 ( 2 tops + 1sub ), but this combo was just fine: well balanced sound ( crossover set at 80hz ip15b / 100Hz ip12b - mid and highs at 0db - subs +2db) and enough power and clear sound for 100-150 persons - outdoor even more...Easy setup - Bluetooth set on the subs/paired with tablet-smartphone or any other BT capable device/connect master-slave and ready for a fast outdoor setup...
As stand-alone there's not much to say. Don't use these as main speakers, because then the sound is underpowered and a lack of bass is obvious: these are ment to be paired with a 12 or 15" sub.
Good looking, robust, easy to carry and handle, but I prefer the previous coating on a lot of Turbosound products: this looked cleaner. Now ( since 2018 I think ) the weakened coating has a 'hammered' pattern: see the differences on the ip2000 v1 and v2 ( hammered) ).
I put these 8" in the QSC K8.2 tote bag: it's a perfect fit.
I also bought the in house brand The Box CL108 as a comparative speaker and they really come close: Turbosound is a little more 'pristine' then 'the Box'. Outputwise (Spl ) almost identical.
Pricing on The box: Top / almost 1/2 price Turbosound
Pricing on Turbosound: also Top, but compared to The Box a little too expensive.

As I already heard about those new generation of Turbosound products, I wasn't expecting too much about those ip82 thinking about that ridiculous price (at first glance, I was sure there was a mistake there!). I would not be able to build a box for the same amount of money! And surely not to sale it and earn money! Something had to be compromised. But what? I decided to take the risk, and bought 4 of these along with the iP15B (still waiting for it). They are well made and solid at first sight, and they sound ok. I ran a couple of tests compared with my ZX1's, and they sound a little bit agressive in the mids. Sound is not as clean and linear as the ZX1 (there is a peak in the mids maybe due to poor damping material but i would need to disassemble it to be sure). But nothing hard to correct with the digital tools we have nowadays! The 4 ohms are a problem if you plan to link them (except if your amplifier accept the load of course!). They are not super stable when set on wedge position. Anyway a good bargain for small set ups!

Used most efficiently along with Turbosound
IP12B or IP15B Subwoofer. fits perfectly while the sub
supplies the required power.
The Speakers are very clear. the highs and mids sound professional. The bass is just OK but while using cross over and sending low frequencies to the sub they sound amazing as a set.
Pros
For the price the speakers are probably the best choice you'd find for passive speakers.
high qualiy built, low weight and a carry handle on top
Cons
I'd say the bass could be done a bit better for those who wanna use them as stand alones without a subwoofer.

Overall a great product at a great price, Highly recommended ;))
Again, I suggest purchasing the IP15B or IP12B
to use these speakers as a set.
