The Studiomaster QX Series Professional Amplifier is a class D power amplifier designed for stable and reliable performance in various environments. It offers high efficiency, energy saving, and a compact, lightweight design, making it suitable for touring applications.
Function Description:
The QX Series amplifiers are designed to amplify audio signals for professional sound systems. They feature multiple channels (2 or 4, depending on the model) with independent input and output controls. The amplifiers can operate in Stereo, Bridge, or Mono modes, providing flexibility for different speaker configurations. Input signals are typically balanced analog or AES3 digital, while output is via Speakon connectors. The front panel includes signal (SIG) and power (PWR) LEDs, volume knobs for each channel, and a power switch. The rear panel features input connectors (female and male XLR), power supply input, and gain switches to adjust the amplifier's sensitivity.
