Features

  • 100 watts per channel at 70 volts
  • Compact size—only two rack spaces and 14" deep for reduced rack space
  • Channel pairs bridgeable for maximum flexibility
  • Exclusive PowerLight switch-mode power supply technology for high performance and compact size
  • Active inrush limiting eliminates AC inrush current, removing the need for expensive power sequencers
  • Four HD15 DataPort connectors (one per channel pair) for Q-SYS networked control and monitoring
  • Custom integrated gain control security cover for tamper-proof installations
  • 1-dB recessed detented gain controls for fast and accurate settings
  • Detachable Euro-style input and output connectors
  • DIP switch control for clip limiters, high-pass filters, bridge mono and parallel operation
  • Selectable high-pass filters protect speakers and prevent speaker transformer saturation with minimal effect on program material (50 Hz or 75 Hz)
  • Comprehensive front panel indicators including signal, clip, bridge mono and parallel input LEDs
  • Fully protected—including DC, infrasonic and ultrasonic, thermal overload and short circuit protection
  • High-performance Class AB+B complementary bipolar output circuitry
  • Lightweight—only 21 pounds (9.5 kg) for easier racking and shipping
  • 3-year warranty plus optional 3-year extended service contract
  • All CX Series amplifiers meet the European Union's, 2006 RoHS directive to restrict the use of hazardous materials used in electronic devices.
