Suggested amplifiers for the AQ Series to ensure peak output without excessive clipping
(MA and E Series power amplifiers will comfortably drive parallel AQ Series loudspeakers and subwoofers.
Important note! Always set the AQX limiters to suit the power amplifier gain. This will ensure that
the AQX controller protects the loudspeaker against long term overload whilst allowing full power
amplifier performance on transients.
(Martin Audio MA and E Series amplifiers are supplied set to 32dB as standard).

12. AQX System Controller

AQ Series loudspeakers have passive crossovers and are designed to be acoustically correct
without excessive equalization. We do, however, recommend that you use the Martin Audio AQX
analogue 2-input/ 4-output system controller to provide "with sub"/"full range" switching, system
limiting and fine frequency response alignment.
