Product Review - Turbosound Milan Mi0
Article Preview :: Active Loudspeaker
The Turbosound Milan Mi0 enters a competitive market. Can this little newcomer stand out from the crowd?
The recently‑introduced Milan range of portable self‑powered speakers from Turbosound consists of three models, and comprises 10‑inch and 15‑inch two‑way, full‑range powered speakers and a powered 18‑inch subwoofer. The new baby£ of the family is the 10-inch model, the Milan Mi0, which we’re looking at here.
There’s a wide choice of self‑powered speakers on the market these days. Smaller units with eight- and 10‑inch woofers can be found everywhere from garden fetes to upmarket bar installs, so any newcomer needs to have some sort of differential in order to attract attention, whether it be price, power or portability, for example.
The Milan Mi0 has two advantages right out of the box, in that it says ‘Turbosound’ on the front, which is always a nice thing to have written on one’s live gear, and it’s a bit of a looker. Whatever it contains inside and whatever the performance figures say, the Mi0 is a stylish little item that’s very pleasing to the eye.
Construction Sight
I’m generally a fan of plain, square‑ish black speaker cabs, as much of my work involves corporate clients who want to hear the sound but don’t wish to know where it comes from, but my first impression on unwrapping the Mi0 was that it would be at home at any posh product launch or business presentation.
The attractive cabinets are made from the ubiquitous polypropylene using a gas-injection moulding process. As I understand it, this involves the use of nitrogen gas under pressure to counteract shrinkage during cooling of the moulded material, producing an accurate shape and a nice surface finish.
