5. Configuració i connexions
5.1 Instal·lació del bastidor
The PSSO QCA-10000 MK2 is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting and occupies 2U of rack space. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the unit, especially at the front and rear for airflow.
5.2 Connexions d'entrada i sortida
Abans de fer cap connexió, assegureu-vos que amplifier is turned off and disconnected from the power supply.
- Entrades d'àudio: Connecteu la font d'àudio (per exemple, el mesclador, el pre-amplifier) to the XLR INPUTs (CH1-CH4) on the rear panel using balanced XLR cables.
- Audio Link: Use the XLR LINK outputs to daisy-chain the audio signal to other amplifiers or devices if needed.
- Sortides dels altaveus: Connect your loudspeakers to the SPEAKON outputs (SPEAKON 1-4) using appropriate speakON cables. Ensure correct polarity and impedance matching.
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Power Input on the rear panel and then to a suitable mains power outlet.
5.3 Operating Mode and Sensitivity Configuration
The DIP switches on the rear panel allow you to configure the amplifier's operating mode and input sensitivity. Refer to the diagram on the amplifier's rear panel for specific switch settings.
| Canvia la configuració | Funció |
|---|---|
| DIP 1 & 2 (Mode) | Configures Stereo, Parallel, or Bridge mode. Consult the rear panel diagram for specific combinations. |
| DIP 3 & 4 (Sensitivity) | Adjusts input sensitivity (e.g., 0.775V, 1.0V, 1.4V). Consult the rear panel diagram for specific combinations. |
Note: Always power off the amplifier before changing DIP switch settings to prevent damage.
6. Funcionament
6.1 Engegada/apagada
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions siguin segures i correctes.
- Turn down all channel level controls to their minimum setting.
