FAQs
Q: Do I need a separate amplifier for the QX396?
A: Yes. The QX396 is passive and needs external amplification. Match the amplifier and processing to EAW's guidance for the speaker.
Q: How should I integrate the QX396 with my main speakers?
A: Set crossover, level, polarity, and timing for the complete system using EAW's guidance. Do not assume presets from another speaker combination will be suitable.
Q: What do I need before setting up the QX396?
A: Plan the power or amplification, signal cabling, processing, placement, and approved mounting method before setup.
