Turbosound NuQ152-AN - 2500W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Point Source Loudspeaker with DSP/Ultranet and 70 x 70-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The Turbosound NuQ152-AN is a high-performance, powered 15" loudspeaker designed for both portable and fixed installation applications, making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of sound reinforcement needs. With its impressive 2,500 Watts of power, the NuQ152-AN is well-suited for front-of-house (FOH), sidefill, and delay line systems, as well as stage monitoring applications. The speaker is engineered to deliver pristine sound quality and high output, ensuring it performs reliably in demanding environments, such as live music venues, theaters, and other professional sound reinforcement settings.

At the heart of the NuQ152-AN is a carbon fiber-loaded 15" low-frequency driver with a low mass voice coil, which offers superior transient response and high power handling capacity. The speaker also features a 1" neodymium high-frequency compression driver mounted on a low-distortion waveguide, which provides an even 70° horizontal by 70° vertical dispersion pattern. This ensures optimal coverage for a wide range of applications, from large venues to smaller, more focused setups. The advanced driver design and active power amplification contribute to an incredibly clean and distortion-free sound, even at high volumes.

The NuQ152-AN is powered by an efficient and lightweight Klark Teknik 2,500-Watt Class-D power amplifier, which provides the necessary output for large-scale events. The speaker incorporates Klark Teknik Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for total system control, including dynamic EQ, transparent limiting, and protection features, ensuring the speaker maintains its clarity and reliability across a variety of performance levels. The DSP interface is easy to use, featuring an LCD display and a rotary push encoder for intuitive control over EQ settings, delay, crossover alignment, and subwoofer integration. Additionally, the speaker offers Ultranet digital audio networking, which allows seamless connectivity with compatible mixers, I/O stage boxes, and other digital audio devices via CAT5 cable, significantly simplifying the setup and reducing cable clutter.

Constructed from durable 15 mm (5/8") birch plywood and finished in a high-quality semi-matt black paint, the NuQ152-AN is designed for both performance and aesthetics. The rugged powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille protects the drivers, making the speaker suitable for demanding environments. Multiple rigging points, a 35 mm pole mount socket, and integrated handles add to the speaker's flexibility and ease of transport and installation. For installations requiring further flexibility, the optional NuQ152-FY flying yoke kit offers additional mounting options. The speaker's robust design ensures longevity, even under constant use in professional environments.

With its combination of powerful amplification, advanced DSP control, and highly durable construction, the NuQ152-AN is an ideal solution for professional sound systems that require both performance and flexibility. Whether used for touring, installation, or monitoring, the NuQ152-AN provides exceptional clarity, high output, and precise control over the audio experience.
