  • Page 14: Cooling

    3.4 Cooling Under normal operation of the power amp, overheating should never be a problem. The air is taken in from the front and out through the back. It is of course essential that while the power amp is running air is able to circulate around it freely.
  • Page 15 Channel D - Channel C - Channel B - Channel A SPEAKON connectors Barrier Strip connectors The Q-POWER 6 and Q-POWER 10 amplifiers are optimised for a loudspeaker impedance of 4 Ω . Attaching lower impedances might affect audio quality and overall performance of the amplifier.
  • Page 16: Indicators 4.. On Leds

    4. Indicators 4.. On LEDs Under normal operation, after the amp has started, the green power LEDs are permanently lit. 4..2 Signal / Protect LEDs (multifunctional) The green Signal LEDs are illuminated when the voltage level at the output reaches approx. 4 V; this corresponds to a power of approx. 4 W into a 4 Ohm load.

  • Page 18: Mains Protections 4.4. Inrush Current Limitation

    4.4 Mains Protections 4.4. Inrush Current Limitation Within approximately 2 seconds of the Q-POWER Amplifier being switched on, the inrush current limiter will increase mains current smoothly from nearly zero to nominal value. This value depends on program material, output level and speaker loads.

  • Page 22: Problem: Hiss

    5.3 Problem: Hiss / Noise Unplug the amplifier input to confirm that the hiss is coming from the source or from a device upstream. Erratic or popping noises indicate an electronic fault in the offending unit. To keep the noise floor low, operate the primary signal source at full level without clipping.
