Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an external amplifier for this subwoofer?
No, the OQAN Q-SUB 15 AUDIO is an active subwoofer, meaning it has its own built-in amplifier. It connects directly to the output of a mixing console or controller.
How do I connect it to the main speakers?
Typically, the signal from the mixing console goes to the subwoofer, which has outputs (often filtered) that connect to the full-range speakers (satellites). The internal crossover then sends only the appropriate frequencies to each speaker.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
While its construction is robust, it is not specifically designed with an IP rating. It can be used at outdoor events, but it should be protected from rain, humidity, and excessive dust.
