CX168 Audio Amplifier, 8 channels, 90 W/ch@8Ω, 130 W/ch@4Ω, Class-AB/Class-B

The CX168 8-Channel Low-Z Power Amplifier from QSC is a lightweight, rackmount, 8-channel power amplifier with a custom security cover, built primarily for use in fixed installation sound systems. The 90W per channel unit offers a solid complement of controls and indicators, featuring detented rotary gain control knobs, LF filter switches, clip LEDs, and an HD-15 Dataport, which enables computer-networked remote amplifier management and signal processing, using Q-SYS software. The CX168 is equipped with a variable speed fan cooling system with rear to front airflow and energy-efficient Powerwave technology for the switching power supply. The Powerwave design sends current to the amp's power circuitry via a very low impedance circuit, charging the supply rails a staggering 230,000 times a second. The result is a consistently clean signal and predictable power distribution, with lowered thermal buildup and improved signal reproduction.

Features
  • Lightweight 21 lb, 8-channel power amplifier with 90W per channel at 8 Ohms
  • Integrated security cover for set-and-forget tamper-proof installation
  • Proprietary PowerWave switch-mode power supply technology for efficient performance and compact size
  • Innovative Active Inrush Limiting design eliminates AC inrush current, eliminates cost of and need for expensive power sequencers
  • Variable-speed fan cooling with rear-to-front airflow and front-panel grill
  • HD-15 DataPort connectors for Q-SYS networked control and monitoring
  • Bridgeable channel pairs for flexible routing, power distribution
  • Individual Channel DIP switch control for clip limiters, high-pass filters, bridge-mono and parallel operation
  • Selectable high-pass filters protect speakers, prevent speaker transformer saturation with minimal effect on program material
  • Comprehensive protection circuitry includes DC, infrasonic, thermal-overload, and short-circuit protection
  • Dedicated front-panel indicators include Signal, Clip/Protect, unique Bridge-Mono and Parallel LEDs
  • Individual front panel 1 dB detented rotary gain controls for simplified, more precise settings
  • Detachable Euroblock input connectors
  • Unified barrier strip output connector
