AMPLIFIERS RECOMMENDATIONS
Martin Audio MA Series two channel and VIA Series two and four channel power amplifiers are recommended for use with CDD
Series loudspeakers and CSX Series subwoofers. These amplifiers work well down to 2 ohms, making it possible to power up to
four cabinets in parallel from each channel.
Other manufacturers’ power amplifiers may be used provided they are capable of delivering the necessary power into the
combined impedance of the cabinets in use. Note that many amplifiers suffer sonic degradation when driving low load
impedances or, worse still, shut down. Always check your intended power amplifier’s specifications and conduct listening tests
before committing to a very low impedance system design.
The table below specifies the recommended minimum amplifier rating for each model of CDD Series and CSX Series cabinet. The
“Recommended models” column lists the Martin Audio MA & VIA Series amplifier models suitable for each speaker model.
