Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of this professional, loudspeaker signal processing product. To get the most from your investment, we recommend you review all the information provided in this User Manual.
The SC28 is a two-input, eight-output signal processor intended for use with QSC loudspeakers and QSC power amplifiers. The SC28 provides QSC system-specific signal processing for getting the highest performance and superior sound quality from QSC loudspeakers integrated with QSC amplifiers.
Two-channels of audio enter the SC28 via locking female XLR connectors. Digital audio conversion is 48 kHz, 24-bit, input and output with a very low noise floor and wide dynamic range. DSP is 32/40-bit floating point. Four channels of output for each of the two inputs are provided for controlling up to 3-way systems with subwoofers.
The SC28 provides excellent sound quality, durable construction and simple deployment. Amplifiers are matched to the drivers with active equalization and precise crossover control. Active loudspeaker protection extends the life of drivers. The SC28 solves many application challenges by greatly simplifying the configuration of multi-way loudspeaker systems. SC28 and QSC loudspeakers are the perfect solution for public performances, corporate events and private parties demanding flexible and excellent sounding system solutions.

Mounting
The SC28 can be used in or out of an equipment rack. Rack mounting is optional.
Rack Mounting
Rack mount the SC28 by supporting it from underneath while aligning the mounting holes with the threaded screw holes in the rails; install all four mounting screws and washers and tighten securely. Ensure use of all four mounting screws in order to minimize the chance of bending or distorting the rack mount ears. When installing equipment into rack, distribute the units evenly. Otherwise, hazardous conditions could be created by an uneven weight distribution.
Maximum operating ambient temperature is 40^ C ( 104^ F). Never restrict airflow through the device vents. Please insure that the air intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed.
Connections
AC Power Cord
Insert the molded receptacle of the AC power cord into the AC power inlet on the rear panel of the SC28. Plug the AC line connector into the AC outlet. The power supply will accept 100-240 Volts AC, 50-60 Hertz. If a different type of IEC power cord is required than supplied with your SC28, contact QSC's Technical Services Department.
The correct AC line voltage is shown under the AC power inlet, on the rear panel. Connecting to the wrong line voltage may damage the amplifier or increase the risk of electric shock.
natural_image

On the rear panel, there is a type "B" USB port. This port is for firmware updates and diagnostic functions. Refer to the Updating Firmware section of this manual for further information.
Audio Inputs
On the rear panel, there are two female XLR line-level inputs marked INPUTS below the connectors and designated A and B above the connectors. Connect the line-level analog audio inputs to these connectors. Input sensitivity can be selected from the Setup Menu; selections are 1.5 V_rms/6 dBu, 3 V_rms/12 dBu, 9 V_rms/21 dBu, or 18 V_rms/27 dBu. These values correspond to the maximum input signal level that can be applied to the inputs without clipping. The signal's source impedance should be less than 600 ohms.
We recommend balanced connections be used. Balanced connections will reduce AC hum and interference, especially with long cable runs. Unbalanced connections may be suitable for short cables. The input impedance is 11k ohm for balanced connections or 69k ohm for unbalanced connections.
Input connectors
Audio Outputs
There are two sets of line-level outputs on the rear panel grouped as A OUTPUTS and B OUTPUTS. Each group has four male XLR connectors numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. They are "mapped" with the following general convention:
OUTPUT 1- Subwoofer Output
OUTPUT 2- Low Frequency 1 Output
OUTPUT 3- Low Frequency 2 Output
OUTPUT 4- High Frequency Output
There are two Low Frequency outputs (OUTPUT 2 and OUTPUT 3) to allow for low frequency shading requirements of line arrays when operated in triamp mode. If the shading network of the loudspeaker is used, OUTPUT 2 is not utilized and the amplifiers are operated in biamp mode.
XLR Connector Pinout
Shown are the pinouts for the XLR connectors. Male connectors shown, pinout is the same for female connectors. We recommend balanced connections be used. Balanced connections will reduce AC hum and interference, especially with long cable runs. Unbalanced connections may be suitable for short cables. The input impedance is 11k ohm for balanced connections or 69k ohm for unbalanced connections.

Use
General Information
Use of the SC28 involves adherence to the following to achieve proper operation:
1- Input sensitivity for the SC28 must be set to correspond with expected audio source levels.
2- Crossover type must be selected to correspond with amplifier and loudspeaker setup (Biamp or Triamp)
3- Subwoofer operation must be enabled or disabled. If enabled, subs can be configured as stereo or summed (mono) and sub gain can
be adjusted for more or fewer subwoofers than a typical system.
4- Delay times can be inserted for the subs and/or arrays.
5- Limiting can be selected for loudspeaker protection or clip limiting. Loudspeaker protection setting is recommended.
6- Each output of the SC28 must have the amplifier type/model selected and have the amplifier operating mode selected (stereo/bridge mono).
7- The "Amp Gain" value must be set to match the actual gain control settings of the amplifiers connected to the outputs. All amplifiers must be set to the same gain values.
8- Adherence to connector pinouts and wiring recommendations must be followed.
9- The SC28 "EQ Menu" selections can then be adjusted to compensate for array size, shape, and environmental factors.
Refer to the SC28 Menu Navigation, System Wiring Reference, and the loudspeaker's User Manuals for detailed information.
AC Mains
There is no AC power switch on the SC28. To connect AC Mains power to the SC28, insert the IEC molded line cord plug into the IEC receptacle on the rear panel and plug the AC line cord plug into a properly operating AC outlet. To disconnect the SC28 from the AC Mains, unplug the AC line cord plug from the AC Mains outlet.
Amplifier Setup
The OSC amplifiers connected to the SC28 must have their power switches in the "on" position. For initial testing, use the lowest useful gain setting until the system is operating as expected. After the system setup has been verified and tested, gain settings may be adjusted as required.
All amplifiers should have their Gain controls set to identical values. This applies to all amp channels, not just channels on one amp.
IMPORTANT! Amp gain control values must be entered in the amplifier setup menu for proper operation.
Updating Firmware
If a firmware update is required, please visit the QSC website and navigate to the SC28 Firmware Updater page. Download and install the SC28 Firmware Updater software and follow the instructions provided with the software. The USB port is used for the update and a cable is supplied with the SC28.
Security Features
The 4-digit passcode is set and enabled via passcode screens in the SC28's Utility menu. When the passcode is enabled, no menu access is allowed without the passcode. After 10 minutes of inactivity, the display will automatically revert to the Startup menu and will prompt the user for the passcode (if enabled). Resetting the passcode: Push in on the rotary encoder knob while the power is turned on (IEC linecord inserted into IEC inlet).
Channel Link
Channel Linking may be enabled/disabled via the channel link screen in the Utility menu. When Channel Link is enabled (Linked) some A/B controls become linked and are controlled via a single front-panel screen. When channel Link is disabled (Independent) these controls are adjusted independently via separate front-panel screens. When changing the Channel Link form Independent to Linked, channel A's parameters overwrite the channel B's.
Left/Right Controls that may be linked:
- Sub and Array delays
- Parameters of all user-adjustable filters
- Input mute and sensitivity
- Output mutes
- Sub gain
LED Indicators
LED metering of both input and output are provided. Input metering is indicated as relative to 0 dBfs (digital clipping of the input signal) and output metering is indicated in actual output voltage levels in dBu. Meters are peak-reading and updated every 50 milliseconds.
The lower input metering LEDs will remain illuminated as successively higher levels are indicated. When 0 dbfs is reached, ONLY the upper red LED will illuminate (lower LEDs will extinguish). If 0 dBfs is indicated often, reduce input signal level to the SC28. This will reduce possibly audible distortion caused by clipping the digital input of the SC28.
The output meters indicate the actual output voltage level in dBu (0dBu=0.775Vrms). Most QSC amplifiers clip/limit at about +4 dBu input level.
LCD Display and Control (Rotary Encoder)
The SC28 has a 2 line X 16 character LCD display. The display and the push-to-select rotary encoder knob provide data access and editing capability. The rotary select/accept knob is active for most displayed items allowing you to scroll through choices by rotating the control, and accepting choices (entering) by pushing in on the control.
The accessible menus and sub menus may appear differently than example shown. Software updates may occasionally improve the interface. On the following pages are shown the basic navigation flow for the SC28 menu system; Setup, EQ, Gain, and Utility.
Notes:
When editing parameters such as Gain or Filter Frequency, turning the knob more quickly (i.e. "spinning") will accelerate the parameter's change.
LCD Icon key:
Loudspeaker protection/clip limiting is active
Turning the knob to the right will increment the current selection
Turning the knob to the left will decrement the current selection
Pressing knob will enter sub-menu or allow the current selection to be edited
Input metering for the SC28- Note digital clipping will be indicated by ONLY the top red LED being illuminated.
Output metering for the SC28-Meters indicate actual voltage level in dBu for each output. +4 dBu is maximum input level for most QSC amplifiers.
Control knob (rotary encoder)-Adjustable parameters can be changed by rotating the knob and accepted/selected by pushing in on the knob.
