QSC Q-SYS MPA-Q 8x125 8-Channel 125W Network Amplifier
- Eight-Channel 125W Network Amplification
- Lo-Z, Hi-Z, 70V & 100V Direct Drive
- Eight Analog Line-Level Audio Inputs
- Dual 1GbE Networking with Native Q-SYS Integration
The QSC Q-SYS MPA-Q 8x125 is an eight-channel network amplifier designed to extend native Q-SYS integration into distributed and performance audio applications. It provides up to 125W per channel and supports Lo-Z, Hi-Z, 70V, and 100V direct drive without requiring manual output switches.
Each channel includes an analog line-level input that can be fully routed into Q-SYS or used for direct output. Dual 1Gb Ethernet ports provide redundant network audio connectivity, while Standalone Mode can switch to available analog inputs if network connectivity is lost. PoE support on LAN A can also help restore network audio quickly following a power interruption. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="1"}

What is the QSC Q-SYS MPA-Q 8x125?
A: The MPA-Q 8x125 is an eight-channel Q-SYS network amplifier providing up to 125W per channel when all channels are driven.
How many amplifier channels does the MPA-Q 8x125 have?
A: It has eight independent output channels.
How much power does the MPA-Q 8x125 provide?
A: It provides 125W maximum per channel with all channels driven and up to 250W maximum when a single channel is driven.
Can the MPA-Q 8x125 power 70V and 100V speakers?
A: Yes. All channels support direct-drive 70V and 100V operation as well as Lo-Z and Hi-Z loads.
Does the MPA-Q 8x125 require bridging for 70V or 100V operation?
A: No. The amplifier provides direct 70V and 100V drive without requiring bridging or manual output switches.
How many analog inputs does the MPA-Q 8x125 have?
