Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an external amplifier for this subwoofer?
No, the OQAN Q-SUB 18 AUDIO is an active subwoofer, meaning it has its own built-in amplifier. You just need to connect it to a power source and the output of your mixer or controller.
Can I connect satellite speakers directly to this subwoofer?
Yes, these types of subwoofers usually include outputs for connecting satellite speakers. The internal crossover sends only the mid and high frequencies to the satellites, optimizing the performance of the entire system.
What does it mean for the amplifier to be Class D?
Class D amplification is a highly efficient type of amplifier that converts a greater proportion of electrical energy into sound power, generating less heat. This allows for the construction of lighter, more compact, and more powerful equipment without the need for large heat sinks.
Is it suitable for outdoor events?
Yes, thanks to its high peak power of 1200W and a maximum SPL of 124 dB, the Q-SUB 18 AUDIO has the capacity to deliver excellent performance in many types of outdoor events, although it will always depend on the size of the space to be covered.
