Networking capability
All iQ powered loudspeakers oer remote control via USB. The USB connection allows the user to congure and monitor all DSP parameters using dedicated iQ
software for PC.
The DSP rmware can also be updated via the USB connection. VisitTurbosound.com for the latest rmware version.
iQ speakers also oer proprietary ULTRANET networking capabilities through the ULTRANET IN and THRU connections using CAT5 cables with RJ45 connectors.
ULTRANET allows the user to transmit unidirectionally up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit audio throughout the iQ system, as well as other ULTRANET-equipped
devices such as digital mixers and personal monitor systems. Up to 7 devices can be connected in series on a single ULTRANET cable. ULTRANET can also be used for
remote control of the iQselection of modeled speakers.

Networked mains power
iQ loudspeakers also facilitate networked transmission of mains power using power cables with NeutrikpowerCON locking power connectors. To set up networked
mains power between iQ loudspeakers, rstrun a power cable terminating in a powerCON connector to the AC INPUT connector on the rear panel. Topower additional
speakers downline, run power cables equipped with powerCON connectors at both ends from the rst speaker’s AC LINK OUTPUT to the AC INPUT of the next iQ
loudspeaker in series. Themaximum number of linked systems depends on the AC supply voltage as well as the maximum current draw of the individual systems in
the power chain. When linking a power chain, make sure that the integrated connectors as well as the supplied AC mains cable are never overloaded. If you are
uncertain how to calculate the total current draw, please contact your dealer.
