QSC Rmx2450 Power Amp

QSC RMX series amplifiers give you clean, dynamic power with QSC's legendary sound quality and reliability that pros depend on. QSC combined their rugged, high-output designs with the latest circuit technology to deliver unmatched performance at a new breakthrough price. RMX amps have balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs. Outputs include binding posts and Neutrik Speakon connections. These stereo power amps are only 2 rack spaces tall and 15.9" deep. Other features include ultra low distortion (.05% THD), a low-noise variable speed fan with rear-to-front air flow to keep your amplifier and racks cool, and selectable low-frequency filters to protect your speakers and increase headroom. QSC power amps are backed by a 3-year transferable warranty.

Muscular Power Plant

The power supply is the heart of anamplifier, converting raw AC power from the wall to clean DC for theaudio circuitry. The RMX uses a powerful high-current toroidaltransformer and ample filter capacitance to ensure generous energyreserves. This makes a critical difference in sound quality, allowingthe amp to effortlessly punch out high level transients, even whendriving abusive 2 ohm speaker loads.

Superior Performance

RMX amplifiers deliver true studio-quality sound. A full complementaryoutput circuit using the highest-grade linear output devices deliversultra-low distortion (<0.05% THD) and a ruler-flat frequencyresponse. SMT (Surface Mount Technology) triples small-signal componentdensity, enabling us to pack up to 2400 watts of power in a chassisonly 2 rack spaces and less than 16" deep. And unlike other designs,RMX output devices are direct-mounted to the heat sink for optimumthermal coupling and cooling.

Comprehensive Features

The RMX Series is packed full of professional features that increase performance and flexibility:

• The RMX 1850HD provides improved thermalperformance that gives you higher continuous power in 2 ohms stereo or4 ohms bridged applications (a RMX 1850HD exclusive!)
• Independent defeatable clip limiters reduce distortion without sacrificing peak performance.
• Selectablelow-frequency filters boost system response, protect speakers andensure low-end tightness by more precisely matching the amplifier'srange to the loudspeakers.
• Barrier strip, XLR and 1/4" balanced inputs plus Speakon and binding post outputs provide easy connections.
• Low-noise variable speed fans with rear-to-front air flow keep amplifiers and racks cool.
