The QSC RMX850a Power Amplifier is designed for professional quality performance. The QSC is known for incorporating road-proven designs into its products.
Compact Design
This amplifier is compact in size, delivering up to 430 watts. It is designed with a high-current toroidal transformer, which provides greater 2-ohm power and low noise. It features independent user-defeatable clip limiters that reduce distortion. It is enriched with selectable low-frequency filters to protect speakers and increase headroom.
Easy Connection
The QSC RMX850a amplifier has balanced 1/4-inch TRS, XLR, and barrier strip inputs, as well as touch-proof binding posts and Neutrik Speakon outputs. Its front-mounted gain controls allow for easy access and adjustment of gain levels.
Control
The amplifiers feature signal and clip LED indicators for monitoring performance. It has independent DC and thermal overload protection on each channel, which automatically protects the amplifier and speakers from damage.
