CSX SERIES SUBWOOFERS - INSTALLATION
CSX Subwoofers, having omnidirectional dispersion characteristics, will normally be floor-
mounted in a suitable location in the room. As the bass frequencies involved are essentially
non-directional, the location will be dictated simply by convenience and practicality. It is often
only necessary to use a single subwoofer cabinet with a stereo system, as the active crossover
will generate the mono LF feed required. See “System connections” on page 42 for more
details regarding system connections.
Any model of CSX subwoofer may be used in conjunction with any model from the CDD Series,
provided the appropriate parameters are set up in the loudspeaker management system. However,
practical combinations are likely to be as shown below:

FLYING CSX SUB-WOOFERS
CSX Series subwoofers may also be flown; they are pre-fitted with threaded inserts to accept eye
bolts.
Shouldered eye bolts are used in the inserts in the same manner as for CDD Series cabinets.
Approved eye bolts are available from Martin Audio for the subwoofers: Part No. HTKCT06 –
M10 eye bolt, suitable for all CSX models.
IMPORTANT
Note that eye bolts for flying systems must be cast, shouldered fittings rated for the purpose.
Forged steel eye bolts of the type typically available from DIY suppliers are NOT suitable and
should not be used under any circumstances.
