Unpacking the Loudspeaker  
After unpacking the unit please check carefully for damage. If damage is found, please notify your supplier at once. You,  
the consignee, must instigate any claim. Please retain all packaging in case of future re-shipment.  
System Requirements – Passive and Bi-amped Loudspeakers  
The NuQ-6, NuQ-8, and NuQ-10 two-way loudspeakers are passive systems and  
Passive Speakon  
2+  
1-  
require only one amplifier channel for correct operation, the frequency splitting  
between the LF driver and the HF driver being accomplished by the internal  
passive crossover network built into each enclosure. They are equipped with  
two Neutrik Speakon NL4MP connectors wired in parallel, serving as both input  
and loop-out connections to additional speakers. The Speakon wiring details are  
shown at the right. The NuQ-12 and NuQ-15 two-way loudspeakers are  
switchable passive/bi-amped systems and require two amplifier channels when  
used in bi-amped mode. To avoid wasting amplifier power you should use  
heavy-duty speaker cable with a minimum wire size of 12 gauge (1.5mm²), and  
preferably 10 gauge (2.5mm²) for longer runs. Always observe the correct  
polarity as shown.

Amplifier considerations  
NuQ series speaker enclosures should be driven by high quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use.  
Amplifiers should be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to the loudspeaker’s program power rating  
at its stated nominal impedance. The use of under-powered amplifiers must be avoided as heavily clipped signals can  
cause permanent loudspeaker damage.

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER RATING  
The amplifier’s rated r.m.s. continuous power output (20Hz – 20kHz, each channel)  
should be equal to the loudspeaker’s program power handling at its nominal impedance.  
System Controllers and Bi-amplified systems  
NuQ systems must be used with Turbosound LMS-D24 or LMS-D26 controllers, since these provide vital operating and  
system security features. If you do not have a controller, DO NOT USE the loudspeaker without one; please contact your  
Turbosound dealer for further details.

PC with Pentium processor, Windows NT, 2000, XP, or Vista, CD ROM drive or internet access, RS232 or USB port  
RS232:Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a standard 9-pin serial cable. External power is required for  
RS232 operation and this should be supplied by the Linea Research Accessory Power Supply  
USB: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a USB Type A to USB Type B cable. External power is not  
required when using USB

Mounting and Fixing  
NuQ series two-way cabinets are equipped with pole mount sockets for portable use on 35mm speaker stands or poles.  
Bass cabinets are equipped with pole mount receptacles that allow two-way cabinets to be mounted at the correct height.  
NuQ series cabinets can be suspended in permanent installations using optional shoulder eyebolts coupled to the internal  
rigging points provided. To install using eyebolts, remove the appropriate countersunk screws and replace them with  
eyebolts, which must have a thread length of at least 18mm. Use the rear rigging point to angle the cabinet for optimum  
room coverage. Cabinets may be hung upside down if required.  
Turbosound wall and ceiling brackets are optionally available for installing non-powered NuQ series cabinets. They are  
also compatible with OmniMount™ wall and ceiling brackets. Some examples are shown below.

To install a loudspeaker using Turbosound brackets, first separate the brackets into their wall/ceiling plate and speaker  
plate component parts. Remove the two countersunk M10 bolts on the rear panel of the cabinet. Attach the speaker plate  
to the cabinet with the M8 bolts supplied. Fix the wall/ceiling plate in the venue using appropriate fixings (not supplied).  
Lift the loudspeaker on to the wall plate and re-assemble the bracket parts, adjust the vertical angle and tighten all bolts.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The rigging of a flown sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel  
with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks.
