IP82 : A wooden box for that price?? Yes it's possible!

7 years ago

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!
