Boldly going where no speaker
manufacturer has gone before, we proudly
present the world’s rst ULTRANET-
equipped 2,500-Watt digital loudspeakers—
the BEHRINGER iQ Series. Now you can run a
single CAT5 cable from your X32 to all your
ULTRANET-enabled systems, S16 Digital
Snake; iQ Series FOH loudspeakers and
subwoofers; iQ Series loudspeakers, used as
oor wedges; and even your P16 Personal
Monitoring system. No ground loops,
nointerference, just pristine, crystalclear
audio via our multi-channel, all-digital
ULTRANET signal distribution. Plus, iQ Series
products sound amazing, arelightweight
and portable—and can be used in
traditional analog systems as well.
Rich Feature Set
The iQ Series redenes the modern
sound system. Our passion for audio
excellence, combined with industry-
leading technologies (and a world-class
engineering team), has produced a range
of loudspeakers and subwoofers with an
incredible power-to-weight ratio—and
unparalleled sonic performance in this
class. Thanks to their onboard 2-channel
mixers; USB-addressable DSP; 2,500-Watt
Class-D power and TURBOSOUND-designed
low/high-frequency drivers, iQ Series
products are the most powerful and best-
sounding, intelligent speaker systems we’ve
built to date.
Drivers by TURBOSOUND
When it comes to high-quality
loudspeaker drivers (a.k.a. woofers and
tweeters), TURBOSOUND stands at the top of
the list for good reason. Havingreceived the
coveted Queens Award three times, as well
as the accolades of many of the world’s top
touring artists, we knew TURBOSOUND had
to give the iQ Series its voice. Theresulting
sound is smooth and crisp with punch,
denition and amazing vocal detail.
The Brains of the Operation
We gave the iQ Series the world-class
KLARKTEKNIK DSP power, ensuring total
system control and driver protection—plus
speaker modeling of some of the industries
most respected loudspeakers (available
on iQ15/iQ12/iQ10/iQ8 models only).
Thisdynamic digital engine commands
a phase/time-correction crossover, EQ,
noise gate, automatic feedback eliminator,
and much more to maintain optimal
performance. DSP Setup and adjustments
can be done directly at the amplier, thanks
to a convenient rear panel LCD—orremotely
using a PC and our free softwaredownload.

Brain Meet Brawn
High-quality live sound at performance
level calls for lots of power. That’s why
you’ll nd our class-leading iNUKE power
ampliers in every iQSeries system;
one per subwoofer, and two per bi-
amplied loudspeaker—each packing an
incredible2,500Watts.
Deployment is extremely versatile.
Thanks to their integrated y-points, iQ15/
iQ12/iQ10/iQ8 models can be suspending
via optional hardware or ground stacked
on their subwoofers to suit the venue.
The iQ Series provides the outstanding
low-frequency extension, sonic clarity and
output typically associated with much
larger speaker systems, plus advanced
intelligent DSP and remote control—
allat a price the competition can’t touch.
Hearingisbelieving.
CAT5 & Neutrik PowerCon Cabling
Thanks to iQ Series’ built-in ULTRANET
multi-channel signal chain, you can run
a single CAT5 cable from your S16 Digital
Snake to your P16 personal monitor
network, daisy-chain to your iQ Series
loudspeakers (used as mains and oor
monitors), and to broadcast feeds, etc.
Imagine the cost savings over traditional
wiring. We also provided Neutrik PowerCon
twist-lock connectors to eliminate potential
AC power disconnects and ground faults.
And since digital transmission doesnt fall
prey to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)
or ground loop issues, you’ll experience
the ultimate in hum and noise-free
soundreproduction.
What is ULTRANET?
In addition to XLR and ¼" TRS inputs,
we’ve equipped each iQ loudspeaker with
our proprietary ULTRANET technology,
which was rst introduced on our
best-selling X32 Digital Mixer, P16 Personal
Monitoring System and S16 Digital Snake.
ULTRANET uses CAT5 cables to transmit
multi-channel audio signals and other
information between other ULTRANET-
enabled products.
