QSC Q-SYS MPA-Q 8x250 8-Channel 250W Network Amplifier
- Eight 250W Output Channels
- Lo-Z, Hi-Z, 70V and 100V Direct Drive
- Eight Analog Line-Level Inputs
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet Networking
The QSC Q-SYS MPA-Q 8x250 is an eight-channel network amplifier designed to extend native Q-SYS integration into distributed audio and performance applications. It delivers up to 250W per channel and supports Lo-Z, Hi-Z, 70V, and 100V direct drive on every output channel without requiring manual impedance switches or bridging. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="3"}
The amplifier provides eight analog line-level audio inputs, allowing each input to be routed into Q-SYS or directly to an amplifier output. Dual 1 GbE Ethernet ports provide redundant networked audio connectivity, while Q-SYS DSP provides gain, polarity, IIR and FIR filtering, delay, and limiter processing. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="4"}
For system resilience, the MPA-Q 8x250 can automatically switch to available analog inputs if network connectivity is lost. If a PoE connection is available, network audio can also be restored quickly following a power interruption. The amplifier also includes four GPI inputs and two NO/NC output relays for system control and integration. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="5"}
