Pros

Awesome and amazing are just two of the many positive adjectives that many use to describe their experience with the Turbosound iNSPIRE iP1000. One user even described it as a quantum leap compared to traditional portable PA systems in the same price range. Most are impressed with how loud and clear the sound can be, and more importantly, how balanced the projection is - to the point that some have stopped using monitors because it feels up the stage and venue really well. The convenience of modern wireless connectivity also garnered a lot of thumbs up.

Cons

There are a few users who had issues with Bluetooth connectivity, but the issue maybe due to third party devices and compatibility - not the PA system itself.
