System Configurations
The NuQ-8 and NuQ-10 two-way enclosures are passive loudspeaker systems. This means that they 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 in each enclosure. If subwoofers are used in a bi-amplified system in conjunction with these two-way enclosures, additional amplifier channels and external electronic crossovers will be required. The Turbosound LMS-D24/26 digital management systems are used for this purpose.
Many different system configurations of NuQ Series loudspeaker enclosures are possible to suit various portable and fixed installation requirements, ranging from live music and corporate events, cafes, bars and restaurants to theme parks, theatres and houses of worship. Listed below are a few common examples.

POWER AMPLIFIER
A single power amplifier supporting two NuQ series 2-way loudspeakers creates a standard stereo system. A further pair of NuQ loudspeakers could be connected using the loop-through connections, although this will result in a corresponding drop in impedance. With NuQ 2-way speakers having a nominal impedance of 8 ohms this would make a combined 4 ohm load that should be suitable for any good quality power amplifier (see amplifier considerations for more information).
NB: A stereo configuration is shown but this system could be run in mono.
NB: The EQ block is shown for tuning the room.
