Powering your O-Line™
(Forgeneralsystempreparation,seetheO-LinepreliminaryInstallationGuide)
General
Your O-Line is deliveredinblocksof4modulesreadywiredinparallel.Thesefour‐moduleblocksmaybe
separated into smaller blocks or individual modules, linked and paralleled to other blocks or modules using
shortlinkwires‐orseriesconnectedtootherblocksormodulesusingtheseriesConnectorpcbsuppliedwith
eachfour‐moduleblock(seeillustrationbelow).
TheConnectorpcbalsoprovidesaninputtermination.
Thisallowstheinstallertobuildanarrayofappropriatelength(werecommend6%ofeachplanetobecovered
forgoodspectralbalance)withelectricalcharacteristicsbestsuitedtotheMartinAudiopoweramplifier
chosen.

Amplifierchoicesandlimitersettings
ThefollowingchartshowsMartinAudiopoweramplifierchoices(indicatedbydots)andMartinAudioDX1.5or
DX2limitersettings(inred)toobtainoptimalperformancefromthewiderangeofO-Linearraysizesand
patchconfigurationspossible.
Single channels, two channel and four channel configurations are shown. Multi‐channel configurations are
usefulwherezonecontrolmayberequired.
To avoid amplifier clipping (which dumps excessive power into the HF arrays in the form of odd‐order
harmonics)itisbesttochoosethehighestpoweramplifierintherangeindicated.Notethatpoweramplifiers
mustbesettotheindustrystandardmaximumvoltagegainof32dB(x40)withacorrectlylimitedDX1.5orDX2
systemcontrollertocomplywithwarrantyconditions.
(Thischartisrepeatedfull‐sizeonthenextpageforeasyreference)
ClipLimsettings
MartinAudioloudspeakersareAESpowerrated.AESratingsallowforupto6dBvoltage(4xpower)
instantaneouspeaks.WethereforerecommendthatyousetyourDX1.5orDX2outputchannelClipLimsto
+6dB.
