Amplifier choices and limiter settings

The following chart shows Martin Audio power amplifier choices (indicated by dots) and Martin Audio DX1.5 or DX2 limiter settings (in red) to obtain optimal performance from the wide range of OmniLine array sizes and patch configurations possible.

Single channels, two channel and four channel configurations are shown. Multi-channel configurations are useful where zone control may be required.

To avoid amplifier clipping (which dumps excessive power into the HF arrays in the form of odd-order harmonics) it is best to choose the highest power amplifier in the range indicated. Note that power amplifiers must be set to the industry standard maximum voltage gain of 32dB (x40) with a correctly limited DX1.5 or DX2 system controller to comply with warranty conditions.

ClipLim settings

Martin Audio loudspeakers are AES power rated. AES ratings allow for up to 6dB voltage (4 x power) instantaneous peaks. We therefore recommend that you set your DX1.5 or DX2 output channel ClipLims to +6dB.

Controller presets?

Note that we do not publish fixed presets for the OmniLine – apart from recommending a standard 60Hz high pass filter and the required limiter settings. The OmniLine Software – used to optimise the array shape – also generates the controller settings required for a flat in-situ system response or to meet your chosen house curve using the Optimise EQ function.
