Three new CX-Q Series amplifiers stacked on top of eachother


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
  • Two-tier Class H complementary bipolar output circuitry reduces AC power draw and waste heat by 40%
  • 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
