RACK MOUNTING

Optional handles shown. Use four screws and washers to mount the amplifier to the equipment rack rails. To use the amplifier outside a rack, attach the self-adhesive rubber feet to the bottom.

COOLING

Air flows from the rack, into the back of the amplifier, and out the front. This keeps the rack cool. The fan automatically runs faster when the amp is working hard.

Do not block the front or rear air vents!

AC MAINS

Connect AC power to the IEC socket on the back of the ampli- fier. NOTE: Turn off the AC power switch before connecting AC power. The AC Switch must be turned on to use remote control systems or the Standby function.

SETTING THE MODE SWITCHES

The CX108V has four 2-channel amplifiers in one chassis. Each of the 2-channel pairs has its own DataPort and mode switches for Stereo, Parallel, or Bridge mode. The channel pairs are: Ch. 1-2, Ch. 3-4, Ch. 5-6, Ch. 7-8. Each channel has independent clip limiting and low frequency (LF) filtering.

SETTING CLIP LIMITERS

Each channel has a clip limiter with its own on-off switch. The limiter only responds to actual clipping, and automatically compensates for load and voltage variations. Clip limiting is generally recommended, especially to protect high frequency drivers.

Set switch UP to use Clip Limiting.

Switch 1 controls the first channel.

Switch 10 controls the second channel.

Air flow in QSC amplifiers: Cool air is drawn into the rear of the amplifier by the cooling fan. Warm air exits the front of the amplifier.

The correct AC line voltage is shown on the serial number label, on the rear panel. Connecting to the wrong line voltage may damage the amplifier or increase the risk of electric shock.
