About the Turbosound NUQ115B-AN-WH-UL 3000 Watt 15" Front Loaded Subwoofer with Klark Teknik DSP Technology and ULTRANET Networking (White)
The Turbosound NUQ115B-AN-WH-UL is a high-output, powered subwoofer engineered to deliver deep, controlled low-frequency extension for portable PA and installed sound applications, distinguished by its integrated DSP and networked audio capabilities. This front-loaded design centers on a robust 15-inch long-excursion driver, powered by a dedicated 3000-watt Class D amplifier, providing substantial acoustic power to reinforce the bass foundation of live music, DJ performances, and multimedia presentations. The enclosure is constructed from durable, void-free birch plywood and finished in a resilient white coating, making it suitable for both touring use and permanent installations where aesthetic integration is desired. Its design prioritizes efficiency and directivity, projecting low-frequency energy forward to maximize impact in the audience area while minimizing unwanted stage energy.
The system's intelligence is a key differentiator, incorporating advanced Klark Teknik DSP technology directly onboard. This digital signal processor provides precise control over the subwoofer's performance parameters, including user-definable equalization, crossover filtering, dynamic limiting, and alignment delay. These settings are accessible and fully adjustable via proprietary software, allowing system technicians to meticulously tune the subwoofer's response to the acoustics of the venue and ensure optimal integration with the main loudspeaker array. Furthermore, the inclusion of ULTRANET networking enables the subwoofer to receive a digital audio stream and control data over a standard CAT5e cable. This allows multiple compatible Turbosound loudspeakers to be daisy-chained from a single console output, dramatically simplifying system cabling, reducing noise, and enabling centralized control of an entire networked speaker system from a computer.
For sound engineers and system integrators, this subwoofer represents a convergence of powerful transduction and modern system management. The ULTRANET connection can carry multiple channels of pristine digital audio, remote mute commands, and real-time monitoring of amplifier and transducer status. The onboard DSP presets include optimized tunings for various applications, from live sound reinforcement to DJ use, and can be securely locked to prevent unauthorized changes. By combining high-power amplification, a purpose-built transducer, sophisticated processing, and digital networking in a single road-ready enclosure, the NUQ115B provides a scalable, technologically advanced solution for building powerful, tunable, and manageable low-frequency systems.
