The all new Q-POWER 14 with DSP controlled PFC power supply is the flagship...
* provided the connector is suited as a disconnect device, as for example the “Schuko” plug used in Europe or the Twist-Lock plugs used in North America While switched off and still connected to mains, the Q-POWER 14 will have an l NOTE average power consumtion of less than 2 W.
M A I N S S U P P L Y 3.4 Mains Voltage Range On the other hand, if the Q-POWER 14 is once running in ROW range, the range To guarantee the best amplifier performance all over the world the power supply is never changed anymore, until power loss or manual switch-off.
Please note that all MCBs always allow for much higher peak currents than their “share” one large breaker (e.g. 50 A or 64 A) for two or more Q-POWER 14 rated values before tripping. For example a 16 A breaker with C-type tripping amplifiers.
4.3 Fans The fans mounted in the Q-POWER 14 operate permanently, but as long as the temperature remains below 40 °C they run at their slowest speed and can hardly be heard. The highest detected temperature from either the amplifier stages or the power supply controls the speed of the fans: above 40 °C the...

6.2.3 Clip Limiter Switch Mode (Mute), for example because of persistent DC-voltage at the outputs or This switch is located at the rear of the Q-POWER 14 amplifier. It allows you to overheating. activate the clip limiter function on the channels A/B and C/D respectively.
NOTE When connecting the Q-POWER 14 to your host computer with the USB cable, the amplifier will shut down completely and all LEDs will be switched off. This behaviour is normal. The amplifier will restart automatically once the USB cable is removed.
7.1.4 DC Servo signal on that channel is reduced proportionally to prevent further heating of the To prevent DC offset at the speaker output the Q-POWER 14 amplifier is fitted amplifier. If the temperature exceeds approximately 95 °C, the corresponding with a DC Servo (hence there are no capacitors in the signal path!).
Within 7 seconds of the amplifier being switched on, the inrush current limiter will increase mains current from nearly zero to nominal value. This value depends on When driving the Q-POWER 14 at very high output levels over a longer period program material, output level and speaker loads.
8.1 Removing the Filter System and Cleaning front frame. The air intake on the front of your Q-POWER 14 amplifier is fitted with a removable filter system. If the filter becomes clogged, the unit will not cool as efficiently as it To clean or replace the filter just slightly unscrew the fixing screw with the help of should and may lead to reduced output levels.
If none of the advices work please contact and then try to switch in on again.
