System Requirements
Passive loudspeakers and switchable loudspeakers used in passive mode
NuQ series passive loudspeaker enclosures require only one amplifier channel for correct
operation, the frequency splitting between the low frequency driver and the high
frequency driver being accomplished by the internal passive crossover network built into
each enclosure.
If subwoofer enclosures are used as part of a bi-amplified system in conjunction with
NuQ series 2-way enclosures to extend low frequency response, additional amplifier
channels and external electronic crossovers will be required. The Turbosound LMS-D6
and LMS-4 digital loudspeaker management systems are recommended for this purpose,
as well as other professional quality digital controllers.
Switchable active/passive loudspeaker enclosures when used in bi-amped mode require
the use of one amplifier channel per frequency band for correct operation. Frequency
splitting between the low frequency driver and the high frequency driver is accomplished
by a Turbosound LMS-D2X digital loudspeaker management system.
Dedicated subwoofer enclosures require an additional amplifier channel when used as
part of an extended frequency system. Frequency splitting between it and a NuQ series
mid-high enclosure is accomplished by an external crossover. Turbosound LMS series
digital loudspeaker management systems are recommended for this purpose.
