AC Mains
Connect AC power to the IEC socket on the back of the amplifier by locating the IEC
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.
AC Mains Disconnection
Turn the AC power switch to the off position. To remove the AC mains cord, grasp the IEC connector’s plastic body and pull, removing the connector form the socket.
Power Switch
Push in on the top of the rocker switch to apply AC mains power to the powered loudspeaker. Push in on the bottom of the rocker switch to turn the powered loudspeaker off.
When turned on, the blue Power indicator LED and the red LIMIT (limiter) indicator LED will illuminate; after a few seconds the red LIMIT indicator will extinguish.
LED Power Indicator
The blue LED Power indicator will illuminate when the AC Power switch is in the “ON” position, the AC mains power cord is connected properly, and the AC mains are functioning properly. The LED Power indicator will extinguish when the AC Power switch is in the “off” position or AC mains power has been removed from the loudspeaker.
If the Power indicator does not illuminate when the Power switch is placed in the “on” position, verify the AC mains line cord is properly attached to the loudspeaker and plugged into the AC outlet. Verify the outlet is functioning properly.
If the AC mains cordset is serviceable and the AC mains outlet is operating properly, but the loudspeaker fails to operate, the loudspeaker may require servicing. Contact QSC’s Technical Services department.
System Power Sequencing
Proper power turn on sequence can help to prevent unexpected sounds from your system (pops, clicks, thumps). These unintended sounds can damage drivers and cause audience members to question the professionalism of the sound team. Turn on and off the system in the proper order to avoid unexpected sounds.
Power On Sequence: Turn on all source devices (CD players, mixers), turn on subwoofer, then turn on the
Power Off Sequence: Turn off the
Input Connections
Subwoofers have a second set of connectors, one for the left channel’s audio and one for the right channel’s audio.
We recommend balanced connections be used. Balanced connections will reduce AC hum and interfer- ence, especially with long cable runs. Unbalanced connections may be suitable for short cables. The input impedance is 22k ohm for balanced connections or 11k ohm for unbalanced connections. The sig- nal's source impedance should be less than 600 ohms.
