ISA450
Commercial Power Amplifier
This product has been discontinued. Please check with your Q-SYS regional sales representative for remaining stock availability.
Consider the CX-Q Series network amplifiers as a replacement:
- The CX-Q Series combines a legacy of robust power amplifiers in high-efficiency output devices, and native network transport, control, and monitoring capabilities.
- Features four-channel and eight-channel models, delivering customized power output loading and a total maximum power of up to 8000 W
Features
- Rear panel gain controls for tamper resistance; 2-dB detents allow for quick and repeatable settings
- XLR and detachable Euro-style input connectors
- DataPort V2 for use with DPV2-compatible signal processing accessories (XC-3, SF-3, LF-3) and DSP-3/DSP-4 (with external power supply)
- Independent defeatable clip limiters for reduced distortion
- Selectable high-pass filters (30 Hz or 70 Hz) protect speakers and prevent speaker transformer saturation with minimal effect on program material
- Front panel LED indicators include power, signal, and clip
- Covered barrier strip output connectors for safety agency compliance
- Automatic on-demand variable-speed fan: quiet normal operation, with maximum cooling when needed
- Rear-to-front air flow helps keep equipment racks cool
- Stereo, bridge, or parallel operating modes
- Comprehensive protection circuitry including DC, infrasonic, thermal overload, and short circuit protection
