Improved high-mid/high limiter action
Three Martin Audio MA2.8 power amplifiers will drive four W8Cs (assuming W8Cs
driven in pairs).
Passive Mode (DX1 factory presets 20 & 22)
In Passive mode the high-mid and high drivers share a power amplifier channel via a
passive high-mid/high crossover network built into the loudspeaker cabinet. This
mode offers a slightly reduced performance but requires only two power amplifier
channels per 3-way W8C system.
Two MA2.8s will drive four W8Cs (assuming W8Cs driven in pairs).
The following shows the DX1 with programme 20 selected. This caters for a stereo
set-up comprising left and right W8Cs in
Passive mode plus separate left and right
WSX subwoofers:
DX1 factory preset 20 (2 x 3 way configuration)
Stereo WSX+W8C (passive high-mid/high) system
Custom DX1 set-ups
Experienced users may create custom DX1 set-ups, for example…
5 way configuration
e.g. W8C (active high-mid/high) system with flown W8CS’ (low 15) used as mid-
bass bins augmented by stacked WSXs (low 18).
