Binary preset files and a full .xbl library file will be found on the latest User Guides CD for XTA
DP226 Loudspeaker Management Systems. Please see the Martin Audio User Guides CD (May
2005 or later) for further details.
Please note: Output limiters will need to be fine adjusted for safe operation with your particular
choice of power amplifier. See the AQX limiter chart towards the end of Section 12 and transpose
the appropriate setting to your DX1 to suit your amplifier gain. Use the automatic attack/release
timings.

15. AQ Series system wiring

A high current, low profile, 2-part Input and Link connector will also be found on the rear panel
(see AQ5 rear panel illustration below). The input and link positions are parallel-connected inside
the cabinet for easy parallel speaker wiring. Convention dictates that the incoming signal cable is
connected to the Input + & - and that the Link + & - is used as the output to the next loudspeaker
in the system. The loudspeaker pinout is printed near the rear connector. Remove the plug to see it!

AQ5

AQ5s are dual-driver systems for wide coverage. The two 8 ohm drivers are identical and may be
driven in series (16 ohm) or parallel (4 ohm).

(4 ohm operation selected)
There is an impedance selector switch (circled) on the rear panel to enable 4 or 16 ohm operation.
The above illustration shows the switch in the 4 ohm position.

Note:
Always make sure that the AQX internal jumpers are set for the proposed system and that the
appropriate mode (Full rangeblue indicator, With Suborange indicator) is selected on the
AQX front panel.
