user manual QLight™ DP series SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS System requirements – TQ-308DP, TQ-310DP and TQ-315DP These products are two-way self-powered loudspeaker systems. They comprise two independent amplifier channels: one channel to power the low frequency driver (LF) plus another channel to power the high frequency (HF) driver; plus an active crossover to split the signal and feed it to the appropriate amplifier and driver section. Additional features such as limiting, digital time align

user manual QLight™ DP series AMPLIFIER MODULES Power Amplifiers The digital power amplifiers used in QLight™ DP series loudspeakers are conservatively rated and designed with sufficient headroom to handle large signal transients without break-up or distortion. Each channel of the module will deliver 800 watts r.m.s. into an 8 ohm load. AC Power Requirements QLight™ DP series loudspeakers are equipped with Neutrik PowerCon® AC mains connectors which mate with the power cord supplied

user manual QLight™ DP series Limiting Functions The amplifier modules are equipped with accurate limiters for both high frequency and low frequency sections. Because the HF and LF limiters work independently of each other, there is no possibility of either section compromising the performance of the other as is the case with a single broad-band limiter. Furthermore, each limiter has its attack and release time constants independently set and optimised according to the operating frequency

user manual QLight™ DP series Mode A / Mode B switch This rear panel switch modifies the overall response of the system in order to give you optimised profiles for differing applications. When the Mode A position is selected, the low frequency section is extended down to a nominal cut-off frequency of 35Hz, which makes the loudspeakers balanced for full range reproduction of a wide range of music. The low frequency extension is achieved by using low shelf @ 90Hz. When the Mode B positio

user manual QLight™ DP series CONVERGING ELLIPTICAL WAVEGUIDES™ A design feature of the TQ-308DP, TQ-310DP and TQ-315DP loudspeakers is the Converging Elliptical Waveguide™ (CEW™ ). This gives many user advantages. The comparatively short flare length allows the HF and LF components to be physically aligned in the cabinet, so ensuring coherent arrival at the listener’s ear irrespective of distance from the loudspeaker. The elliptical format shapes the wavefront smoothly, and eliminates re
