Input and Output Signal Flow

CX-Q Series Ampliﬁers

Refer to

Figure 14

The CX-Q 4K8 and CX-Q 8K8 ampliﬁers have eight MIC/LINE inputs and eight (two blocks of four) ampliﬁed outputs on the rear of the ampliﬁer. The

CX-Q 2K4, CX-Q 4K4, and CX-Q 8K4 ampliﬁers have four MIC/LINE inputs and four (one block of four) ampliﬁed outputs on the rear of the ampliﬁer.

The inputs and outputs are not physically (or electrically) connected in the ampliﬁer giving you the ﬂexibility to use any available source in Q-SYS for

the ampliﬁed outputs, and to route the inputs to any output. The inputs and outputs can be connected in your Q-SYS design as shown in

Figure 14

1. The analog inputs are converted to digital audio in the ampliﬁer

2. The converted audio is then routed to the Q-SYS Core via Q-LAN (LAN A, LAN B).

3. The digital signals are brought into the design via the ampliﬁer's Mic/Line Input component.

4. From the Mic/Line Input component the signals can be sent for processing and can be sent anywhere within the Q-SYS system.

5. In the Q-SYS Core digital audio signals (not necessarily from the amp's inputs) are sent to the Q-SYS Amp Output component.

6. The digital audio is then sent from the Q-SYS Core via Q-LAN to the ampliﬁer.

7. Digital signals are converted to analog, ampliﬁed and sent to outputs of the ampliﬁer.

Inputs

The Q-SYS Amp Output component can have one to eight inputs/outputs depending on the ampliﬁer model and its conﬁguration in Q-SYS Designer.

The desired conﬁguration is selected in the Q-SYS Designer Properties menu for the ampliﬁer. When the ampliﬁer's conﬁguration is changed, all

of the outputs are placed in a "mute all" state. You can un-mute all by clicking the Mute All button in Q-SYS Designer's Amp Output component or

press and release the Ampliﬁer Mode button on the ampliﬁer's front panel.

CX-Q Series Ampliﬁers

Refer to

Figure 15

The CX-Qn model ampliﬁers have no analog inputs. The input signal utilized to drive the ampliﬁer channels must be virtually wired in

Q-SYSDesigner.

1. Digital audio is sent to the Q-SYS Core via Q-LAN.

2. In the Core, the signals can be processed and sent anywhere within the Q-SYS system.

3. In the Q-SYS Core digital audio signals are sent to the Q-SYS Amp Output component.

4. The digital audio is then sent from the Q-SYS Core via Q-LAN to the ampliﬁer.

5. Digital signals are converted to analog, ampliﬁed, and sent to the outputs of the ampliﬁer.

The Q-SYS Amp Output component can have one to eight inputs/outputs depending on the ampliﬁer model and its conﬁguration in Q-SYS Designer.

The desired conﬁguration is selected in the Q-SYS Designer Properties menu for the ampliﬁer. When the ampliﬁer's output conﬁguration is changed,

all of the outputs are placed in a "mute all" state. You must unmute all in the Amp Output component's control panel or on the ampliﬁer's front panel.
