CX-Q Network Amplifiers

CX-Q Series network amplifiers combine a legacy of robust power amplifiers, advancements in high-efficiency output devices, and native network transport, control and monitoring capabilities of the Q-SYS Ecosystem. CX-Q Series features four-and eight-channel models, capable of delivering customized power output loading and a total maximum power of up to 8000 W. Low impedance, 70 V or 100 V direct drive are available on all channels.

Note: This topic provides an overview of CX-Q amplifiers. For installation instructions and other documentation, see the CX-Q Series product page on the QSC website.

  • Seamless Q-SYS Ecosystem integration with audio transport and control via standard gigabit Ethernet protocols and hardware
  • Capable of providing up to 8,000 W of power
  • Low-Z, 70 V and 100 V direct drive available on all channels
  • Hybrid circuit topology mixing the robustness of the PL380 PowerLight™ amplifier platform with new high-voltage, high- current output devices
  • FlexAmp™ allows for asymmetric power distribution across amplifier channels
  • Flexible Amplifier Summing Technology™ optimizes for either higher voltage loads (up to 200 Vrms output) or high current loads (up to 35 A)
  • PowerLight universal switchmode power supply with PFC for highest efficiency; improved audio performance, and low weight
  • “Q” models offer mic/line inputs into the Q-SYS Ecosystem; “Qn” models are “network input only” to reduce system cost
  • Touch-proof Euroblock loudspeaker connections
  • Eight configurable, bi-directional GPIO connections
  • Automatic energy saving modes ensure that the amplifier will draw the minimum amount of AC power while still providing outstanding audio quality
