CES 2012: Behringer's $30,000 iNuke Boom Speaker on Display

[kejur]

That's one big speaker

I think that this speaker is actually meant to be launched into space and attached to the space station, then pointed at the Earth in order to make sure everyone is paying attention during PSA's. If this thing were only for show then I think it would've been covered in diamonds and then transported directly to J-Lo's living room. Unfortunately, 12 people have already died trying to move it. At this very moment the other planets in our solar system are caught in this gigantic speaker's gravitational pull and are racing towards the Earth. If you were actually to plug this thing in the universe would cease to exist. And just to let you know, iNuke isn't the unit's name... it's a feature. Be afraid people. Be very afraid.

Half that price probably goes towards delivering it. Imagine the shipping charges, it'd be like mailing a car across the country...

Free Shipping!

This is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. The company probably has no intention of actually selling any of these.

to consumers no. but to clubs and such, who knows

 

[zorinlynx]

How do you fit this through doorways?

 

[iRCL]

Who cares, actual club soundsystems cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and can obviously be interfaced to an iPhone. It's just some CES gimmick, I can't believe any of you actually think this is a real product

Anyone who buys $30,000 of Behringer product is a tool anyway

I've built a 17" subwoofer into a box behind my sofa that is 7 feet long and 4 feet high. It is only 8"-16" wide though.

It shakes the house. And it cost closer to $500. But it doesn't look quite as good.

If I had the time, you could DIY and add in AirPlay and other audio hook-ups.

Behringer?

C'mon.... it's more cut rate than Coby. I bought a Behringer mixer back in the early 90's
I took it back a week later to trade for a Mackie, whatever the difference in price I didn't care.
You buy their stuff and then lie to yourself that it's not that bad. After while you get tired of
lying to yourself. This seems like some desperate ploy, rather than a Samsung style of
brand re-hab.

 

[liquidrumors]

LOL doesn't matter its a behringer it probably doesn't work anyway..

 

[Larrywb]

I had put this on my Christmas list to my wife, unfortunately it wasn't under the tree on Christmas day.

The Napster wants to know if it can blow the clothes off the blonde.

No, but with $30,000 you can BUY the clothes off the blonde!

Well, I'm guessing all the biggest rap stars are placing their orders as I type. Probably trying to figure out how to use it in their cars.

If you see one of these being delivered to a neighbor, well that's either good or bad news depending on how old they and you are.

In before preppy rich "dub steppers" teens kill their ear drums trying to be cooler than everyone.

 

[pprior]

I'm old (40's...) but I'd still buy one of those just to rock out my ABBA collection....

 

[Antares]

This is something Jay-Z and Beyonce would buy.

If you think Mackie is any better than Behringer, you've been tricked by a very successful marketing campaign

I doubt they plan to actually sell these, and if they did sell one it could be custom made. Behringer is a joke of a company...

BTW, any amplifier rack needs sequenced. The inrush current on amplifiers is really high. No surprise there.
