Turbosound NuQ122-AN - 2500W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Point Source Loudspeaker with DSP/Ultranet and 70 x 70-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The Turbosound NuQ122-AN is a high-performance, 2,500-watt powered loudspeaker that provides exceptional sound quality for a variety of portable and fixed installation speech and music sound reinforcement applications. Engineered for flexibility, it is suitable for front-of-house (FOH), sidefill, delay line, and monitoring setups. The NuQ122-AN features a 12" low-frequency driver with a low-mass voice coil, delivering excellent transient response, and a 1" neodymium high-frequency compression driver, mounted on a 70° horizontal x 70° vertical low-distortion waveguide for wide, uniform dispersion. It is ideal for use in both mobile PA systems and permanent installations, providing professional-level performance and reliability.

At the heart of the NuQ122-AN is a lightweight, efficient 2,500W Class-D amplifier from Klark Teknik, which powers the system with high output and minimal heat dissipation. This power is further enhanced by the sophisticated Klark Teknik Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which provides dynamic EQ for excellent low-frequency response at low volumes and transparent limiting at higher output levels, ensuring clarity and long-term reliability. The rear panel of the amplifier module features an intuitive LCD display and a rotary encoder, offering users easy access to key controls, including position compensation, EQ control, subwoofer integration, and signal routing. This flexibility makes the NuQ122-AN a powerful tool for live sound engineers and installers alike.

For seamless integration, the NuQ122-AN offers two locking etherCON connectors for ULTRANET digital audio networking, which transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit audio and control data over a single CAT5 cable. This allows for simplified cable routing and quick setup, making the NuQ122-AN a valuable addition to any modern digital audio system. Additionally, the speaker provides a balanced XLR input, an XLR output for daisy-chaining other speakers, and a USB port for remote control and DSP firmware updates.

The enclosure of the NuQ122-AN is built from 15 mm birch plywood and is finished in a highly durable semi-matt black paint. This sturdy construction ensures that the loudspeaker can withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining a sleek appearance for installation in venues. The speaker features multiple threaded rigging points for easy suspension in any orientation, as well as a 35 mm pole mount for satellite speaker support. Integrated handles make transport easy, while the rugged powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille provides protection for the internal components.

Designed with both performance and user-friendliness in mind, the NuQ122-AN is equipped with DSP presets that are easily accessible through the onboard interface. These include factory presets for positioning, sound mode, and feedback control (FBQ), along with user-definable presets for custom configurations. The speaker also offers delay functions, high and low shelving EQ, and parametric EQ, giving users the control they need to optimize sound for different environments.
