Cooling

Cool Air flows from the back of the rack, into the back of the amplifier, and out the front. This keeps the rack cool. The fan automatically runs faster when the amp is working hard. (Figure 3)

CAUTION! Do not block the front or rear air vents!

Figure 4

AC Mains Connection

1. Turn off the AC power switch before connecting AC power.

2. Connect AC power to the IEC socket on the back of the amplifier.

NOTE: The AC Switch must be turned on to use remote control systems or the Standby function.

CAUTION: The correct AC line voltage is shown on the serial number label, on the rear panel. Connecting to the wrong line voltage may damage the amplifier or increase the risk of electric shock.

Setting the Mode Switches

Figure 5 is a typical Mode Switch block as seen from the rear of the amplifier (CX404V model shown).

Two-Channel Models: One mode switch controls each channel's independent clip limiting and low frequency (LF) filtering. The switches can set the amplifier's operating mode for Stereo, Parallel, or Bridge operation.

Four-Channel Models: There are two mode switches; one controls the operation of channels 1-2, the other controls the operation of channels 3-4. It is not possible to bridge or parallel channels 1 or 2 with channels 3 or 4.

Figure 5

Figure 6

Setting Clip Limiters

Each channel has a clip limiter with its own on-off switch. The limiter only responds to actual clipping, and automatically compensates for load and voltage variations. Clip limiting is generally recommended, especially to protect high frequency drivers. (Figure 6)

• Set switch UP (ON position) to use Clip Limiting.
• Switch 1 controls the first channel.
• Switch 10 controls the second channel.

Selecting Stereo, Parallel, or Bridge Mode

Each of the channel pairs can be set for normal Stereo operation, Parallel Input mode, or Bridge Mono mode. On four-channel models, Ch.1 can be

bridged or paralleled with Ch.2; Ch.3 can be bridged or paralleled with Ch.4.

Stereo Mode: Each channel within the pair remains independent, and each may be used for a different signal. Switches 4, 5, 6 and 7 are all set to the DOWN position. (Figure 7)

Parallel Mode: This setting connects both inputs of a pair together. One signal feeds both channels. Do not connect different sources to each input. Each channel's Gain control and speaker connection remain independent. Switches 4, 5, and 6 are set to the UP position. Switch 7 is set to the DOWN position. (Figure 8)

Bridge Mode: This setting combines both channels of a pair into a single channel with twice the output voltage. Use only the first channel's input and Gain control. Set the second channel's Gain control at minimum. Switches 4, 5, 6 and 7 are all set to the UP position. (Figure 9)

NOTE: Do not connect different inputs to each side of a channel pair when operating in parallel or bridge mode.

Figure 7

Figure 8

Figure 9

Setting Low Frequency Filters

Each channel has a 12dB per octave Low Frequency filter that can be set on or off. Low impedance models can be set for 33 or 75 Hertz and distributed output ("V" models) for 50 or 75 Hertz to prevent saturation of the 70V speaker transformers. This reduces distortion and prevents amplifier overload. (Figure 10)

• The first channel uses switches 2,3. The second channel uses switches 8,9.
• Switches 3 and 8 turn the LF filter ON or OFF.
• Switches 2 and 9 select 33/75Hz (low Z) or 50/75Hz ("V" models) or 75Hz .
• On four-channel models, the second mode switch has switches for Ch.3 and Ch.4

Figure 10

Low Impedance Models: The filter should only be turned off for driving subwooers. The 33Hz setting usually works well with loudspeakers that have large LF drivers (12" or larger). The 75 Hz setting works well with compact (smaller size) loudspeakers. Check the loudspeaker's specifications and select the setting closest to the loudspeaker's low frequency capability.

High Impedance (V^ ) Models: The filter should only be turned off for driving subwoofoers with special low frequency transformers. The 50Hz setting usually works well with high quality speaker transformers. The 75Hz setting works well with speech-grade speakers and transformers.

DataPort

Refer to Figure 11.

Two-channel models have one DataPort, four-channel models have two DataPorts (one Ch.1-2, one for Ch.3-4). The DataPort connects to optional QSC accessories and processing devices. DataPort devices provide remote Standby control, monitoring, DSP processing, filter and crossover functions. The CX's DataPort supports the full "V1" DataPort feature set. Two-channel models support directly-mounted DSP "modules". Four channel models require remote mounting of accessory modules connected with DataPort cables.

Each DataPort connects to its respective channel pair; Ch.1-2 or Ch.3-4. Each channel pair may use its DataPort or the Terminal Block inputs. When using the DataPort, do not connect to that channel's Terminal Block inputs. Amplifier Standby is controlled only by the Ch.1-2 DataPort.

DataPort Tips:

1. DataPort 1-2 controls Standby for the entire amplifier. The AC switch must be turned ON before the DataPort can control the power.
2. Each DataPort controls and monitors the signals to its respective channel pair (Ch.1-2, Ch.3-4).
3. Do not use the Bridge Mono or Parallel mode switches when using DataPort Inputs. The signal level may be reduced. For more information, see the Owner's Manual for the DataPort device.
4. A DataPort device is normally used to control the signal gain before entering the amplifier. Set the front panel Gain controls at maximum after confirming correct operation. If desired, install the protective cover to prevent tampering.
5. Each channel uses a separate internal heat sink. The heat sink temperatures are reported on that pair's DataPort.
6. Consult your QSC dealer or the QSC web site for the latest DataPort products.

Inputs

Each channel has a balanced 3-pin terminal block input. Two channel models also feature XLR inputs. The input impedance is 12k ohm balanced or 6k ohm unbalanced. A set of terminal block connectors is included in the carton. Terminal block wiring is connected with simple hand tools, and inputs can be changed quickly. XLR inputs are connected with standard cables and can be changed quickly. Pinouts are marked on the rear panel.

Balanced connections are recommended to reduce AC hum and interference, especially with long cable runs. Unbalanced connections may be suitable for short cables. The signal's source impedance should be less than 600 ohms. If the DataPort is being used for input signals, do not connect cables to the terminal blocks.

Outputs

Wiring connections are shown on the back of the chassis. Carefully note the polarity marks, which are arranged to make Bridge Mode connections easier. Four-channel models are shown in the examples; two-channel models are similar.

WARNING!: Do not touch output terminals while amplifier power is on. Make all connections with amplifier turned off. Risk of hazardous energy!

Low Impedance Outputs

Stereo and Parallel Mode: Connect each loudspeaker to its own channel of the amplifier, as shown on the chassis label. The mode configuration switches must be set for Stereo or Parallel mode. (Figure 16)

Bridge Mode: Bridge mode configures the channel pair to drive a single high-power loudspeaker load. The mode configuration switches must be set for Bridge mode. Use only the first channel's input and Gain control. Set the second channel's Gain control at minimum. (Figure 17)

Distributed Outputs ("V" models, 70V/140V)

Stereo and Parallel Mode: Connect each 70V circuit to its own channel of the amplifier, as shown on the chassis label. The mode configuration switches must be set for Stereo or Parallel mode. (Figure 18)

WARNING!: 70V Output- Risk of hazardous energy! Use Class 2 wiring for 70V outputs.

Bridge Mode: Bridge mode configures the channel pair to drive a single 140V audio circuit. The mode configuration switches must be set for Bridge mode. Use only the first channel's input and Gain control. Set the second channel's Gain control at minimum. Connect the load as shown on the chassis label. (Figure 19)

140V BRIDGE MODE PRECAUTIONS:

NOTE: Class 3 Wiring shall be used for bridged mono 140V outputs.

NOTE: Connect only 140V distributed audio circuits in bridged mode. Do not use 70V loads in bridge mode! Use Stereo or Parallel mode channels to drive 70V loads. 140V is the minimum for bridge mode operation.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators can be used to monitor system operation and identify common problems. (Figure 20 and Figure 21)

POWER: GREEN, above the BRIDGE (BRDG) and PARALLEL (PAR) indicators.

Normal indication: AC switch ON: LED will illuminate.

If no indication: Check AC power cord and AC outlet. Confirm that DataPort 1-2 is not holding the amp in 'Standby' mode.

CLIP: RED, adjacent the channel number markings.

Normal indication: illuminates whenever the amplifier is driven beyond full power. The resulting distortion corresponds to the brightness of the LED. Distortion that causes only brief flashing may not be audible.

• During muting, the LED fully illuminates. This occurs during normal "On-Off" muting.

Abnormal indication:

• Bright red illumination while the amp is being used indicates either thermal muting or a shorted output.
• If the amplifier overheats, the fan will run at full speed, and operation should resume within one minute. Allow the fan to run, and make sure the amplifier ventilation is adequate.
• A shorted or overloaded output circuit will cause excessive Clip flashing and possible overheating.

Four-Channel Models
Figure 21

If distortion is audible without a Clip indication, the problem is either before or after the amplifier. Check for damaged speakers or overloaded signal source. The amplifier Gain control should be in the upper half of its range to prevent input overload.

SIGNAL, -20dB, -10dB: GREEN, under each Clip LED.

Normal indication: The SIGNAL indicator illuminates when the input signal exceeds -35 dB, the -20dB indicator illuminates when the signal exceeds -20dB, and the -10dB indicator illuminates when the signal exceeds -10dB.

If no indication: check Gain settings and increase gain if necessary. Check input connections and audio source for signal. If the Clip LED illuminates with little or no Signal indication, check the output wiring for shorts.

Abnormal indication: If the SIGNAL (SIG), -20dB, or -10dB LED illuminates with no signal input, there may be system oscillations or some other malfunction. Disconnect the load and fully reduce the gain. If the LED remains on, the amp may need servicing.

BRDG and PAR (Bridged and Parallel):

Each channel pair has a YELLOW LED for Bridge Mode, and an ORANGE LED for Parallel mode. These show how the rear panel switches are set (see Setting the Mode Switches). In Stereo mode, both LEDs should be OFF.

Gain Controls

Refer to Figure 22 and Figure 23.

The Gain controls are recessed and can be adjusted with a small screwdriver or flat tool. If desired, the Gain Control Security Cover can be installed to prevent changes to the installer's settings.

Turn the gain controls clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain. The maximum voltage gain of the amplifier varies depending on the model designation. Maximum voltage gain for each model is shown on the front panel label in parentheses adjacent the 0dB attenuation setting.

The Gain controls are marked in dB of attenuation. There are 21 detents for repeatable adjustments. The upper 14 steps are about 1 dB each, and settings should normally be made within this range. The range below -14 dB should not be used for normal program levels, as the input headroom could be exceeded, but can be used for testing at reduced levels. At the minimum setting, the signal is completely cut off.

Gain Control Security Plate

The cover blocks access to the Gain settings. The LED indicators are still visible to monitor the system's operation.

1. Use a 9/64" or 3.5mm hex driver to loosen the screw several turns. Do not remove it completely.
2. Slide the right end of the cover under the loosened screw.
3. Insert the left end tabs into the last row of ventilation slots, and slide the panel fully to the right. It should lock into the slots.
4. Confirm that the LED's are visible through the cover. Tighten the hex screw carefully.
