Since QEI's FMQ-Series grounded grid design provides the widest bandwidth available in a tube final, modulation specifications are exciter and stereo generator dependent. For optimum performance, QEI recommends the use of a QEI exciter and stereo generator which are optimized for system performance. See the appropriate exciter and stereo generator specification sheet for detailed wideband composite, monaural and stereo performance specifications.
