Default Turbosound iNSPIRE iP300

These will be available in April and look pretty interesting. It looks like a decent competitor to a Fishman SoloAmp at a much cheaper price:

Cool! I'm glad to see them expanding the lineup so much, between the 300 and the 3000.

The design reminds me a bit of the Mackie Reach, only less dispersion and less 12-year-old-boy styling.

It bears a strange resemblance to the (now discontinued) Mackie Reach. If it sounds as good, it should be an excellent option for people, assuming it is 300 watts RMS. However, it will probably require some kind of mixer. I could imagine a pair of these being very good for a duo act.

It looks like a fantastic design, a pity (for me) there's no battery operation!

All the battery powered options seem to be limited to below a hundred Watts. This is 600.

It seems like a good option for those who sing and play guitar. I wouldn’t recommend it for people who wanted to put a bass through it or use backing tracks with bass and kick drums.

I would use it as an audience speaker with my Elite Acoustics D6-8. I currently use a Bose S1 for this (and would continue to do this in small rooms). I expect that this would be similar in coverage to a Fishman SoloAmp, Bose L1C or Mackie Reach.

That looks great. Has reverb and a digital mixer. I am using an IP1000 (Does not have reverb) but works really well in many applications.

I do wish the 1000 had reverb on it. Would be perfect for solo gigs.
