CXD8.4Q Network Amplifier, 8 Channels, Class-D, 500 W/ch, 3-Pin Euro & Q-LAN Network

The QSC eight-channel amplifier represents an advancement in amplifier technology coupled with outstanding integration capability as part of a Q-SYS system. Designed specifically for the needs of integrators, it provides efficient, robust and extraordinarily high fidelity power to drive multiple channels and configurations of loudspeakers - all with optimal energy and rack space efficiency. All models providing full Q-SYS capability with audio routing, processing and control. The amplifiers allow the user to configure and combine channels in various ways to drive a wide range of loudspeaker systems including 70V and 100V without the use of transformers. These amplifiers not only provide the power and processing make your system perform better, they offer outstanding efficiency ensuring that energy costs will be kept to a minimum over the life of the installation. The eight channel amplifier use QSC’s fifth generation class-D power amplifier design providing high voltage operation and offer outstanding audio quality and thermal performance. They benefit from the proven PowerLight power supply made better with Power Factor Correction (PFC) that aligns the current waveform with the AC mains voltage waveform. PFC enables these amplifiers to draw current from the wall in a more efficient and controlled manner resulting in incredible output power from a single standard AC breaker.

• Seamless Q-SYS™ integration with audio transport and control via standard Gigabit Ethernet protocols and hardware
• Eight channel CXD-Q models also feature eight channels of mic/line input directly on the back of the amplifier and act as a Q-SYS on-ramps in addition to amplification
• Touch-proof Euroblock loudspeaker connections
• Flexible Amplifier Summing Technology™ (FAST) permits up to four channels to be combined for higher output power
• PowerLight universal switchmode power supply with PFC for highest efficiency and low weight
• Eight bi-directional GPIO connections that can be used for analog or digital inputs or outputs to/from Q-SYS
• Built-in energy saving modes ensure that the amplifier will draw the minimum amount of AC power while still providing outstanding audio quality
