Self-powered Loudspeakers
Powered NuQ loudspeakers feature very efficient integrated Class D amplifiers and control electronics modules, providing
a completely self-contained professional sound system. The XLR inputs are electronically balanced and are wired pin 2
hot, pin 3 cold, and pin 1 ground. Amplifiers will operate over a range of mains input voltages from 100V to 240V AC
without adjustment.

The B-12DP features an on-board amplifier configured to drive NuQ-6 or other satellite loudspeakers, as well as its own
internal 12” LF driver. The amplifier is also equipped with four factory presets with differing band gains which allow for
different configurations of satellite speakers. These are selectable via a push switch that toggles around the four available
presets, and these are listed below. Presets 2 to 4 are user editable using TurboDrive software.

Networking Capability
NuQ systems are designed to offer control and monitoring of system parameters over a BvNet network in real time using
a PC and TurboDrive™ software. LMS-D2X controllers are equipped with network cards and are pre-configured with
factory programs for all NuQ series models. Self-powered NuQ loudspeakers have built-in network functionality.

and follow the
installation instructions
Install the drivers. If connecting via RS232 there is no need to install drivers. If connecting via USB install the USB
drivers which can be found on the CD that came with your Linea Research USB interface
Networking multiple devices to a PC: BvNet is the method of connecting multiple devices – these can be controllers
and/or powered NuQ loudspeakers – and this is done with the Linea Research USB & RS232 Interface (available from
Turbosound). The interface enables devices to be connected to a PC either using RS232 or using USB. RS485 is the
