QSC Exhibiting 8-Channel CX Series Amplifier at INFOCOMM
Called the CX-168, its 2RU chassis offers eight channels that are rated at 90 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 130 watts per channel at 4 ohms. For added flexibility, each pair of channels may be bridged to deliver up to 260 watts at 8 ohms. The CX-168 includes contractor-specific features that are standard among QSC's entire CX Series, including detachable Phoenix-style input connectors that enable the system to be pre-wired prior to rack mounting. Other features include 1-dB recessed and detented gain controls and a custom security cover for tamper-proof installations, user-selectable high-pass filters to reduce transformer saturation and protect speakers, and proportional response clip limiters that are independently defeatable. The CX-168 also includes DataPort connectors, allowing each channel pair to be governed by QSControl, QSC's audio networking system. This enables the system operator to control amplifier gain levels, check clipping and thermal status and monitor numerous additional system parameters. "The new CX-168 brings a new level of channel density and flexibility to high power amplifiers, making it ideal for multi-zone applications where rack space is at a premium," says Greg McLagan, QSC Marketing Manager for Installed Sound. "And at only 21 lbs., racking and shipping are a lot easier, allowing you to ship pre-wired racks at a much lower cost." The CX-168 is scheduled to begin shipping worldwide by the end of 2001. |
