4 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 2 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 4 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 4 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The ultimate in live sound

Bass that you can feel. And highs that hit the sweet spot. The iQ8 gets its superior audio from a specially designed 8” low frequency transducer and 1” compression driver combo. Both speakers work together to bring you clear, accurate response across an extended frequency range, even at max SPLs. Thanks to Spatial Contour Control, frequency response is compensated for in relation to physical speaker placement. Put simply, your audience will hear every detail, no matter where they’re stood.

Great sound doesn’t have to be difficult

That’s why the iQ8 is built for simple yet powerful operation. Set up your speaker in minutes directly from the internal DSP. Whether you’re looking to sculpt your EQ, control feedback, or access channel gain control, everything is easily accessible from the LCD display. All it takes is one adjustment on the rotary knob and you’re ready to take centre stage. Whether you’re a professional sound engineer or a complete beginner, the iQ8 offers great sound for every scenario with speaker modelling presets. Each one provides an accurate model of some of the industry’s most-respected loudspeakers. All you have to do is plug in and play.

Ready for the road

Portability as at the heart of the iQ8. From transport to breakdown, Turbosound have designed every element to make setting up as easy as possible. Boasting a fibreglass reinforced enclosure, the iQ8 is resistant to scuffs, scratches, and scrapes, whilst remaining lightweight enough to carry. Position your speakers with precision thanks to dual mounting ports, integrated directly into the speaker housing. Whether you’re gigging your local circuit or taking your talent oversees, you’ll find it easy to get the best sound possible.
