3 I. WARNING NOTICES SPEAKER DAMAGE The MXa Series amplifiers are among the most powerful professional amplifiers available and is capable of pro- ducing much more power than many loudspeakers can handle. It is the user ’ s responsibility to use suitable speakers with the amplifier and to use them in a sensible way that will not cause damage. QSC[...]

4 II. OVERALL DESCRIPTION The MXa Series from QSC comprises four high-effi- ciency professional power amplifier models, each with two independent channels. The MX 1000a, MX 1500a, and MX 2000a, can deliver, respectively, 275, 400, and 475 watts into 8-ohm loads, and 400, 600, and 725 watts into 4-ohm loads Either channel of the MX 3000a is capable [...]

5 III. INPUTS An MXa amplifier features balanced inputs, connected via barrier strip terminals or 1/4 ” (6.3 mm) tip/ring/sleeve phone jacks. The tip of the input jack is wired for “ nega- tive ’ or inverted polarity, while the ring is the non-inverting input. Thus, if the voltage at the tip is positive with respect to that at the ring, the a[...]

6 IV . OUTPUTS Four “ touch-proof ” binding posts — one pair per chan- nel — on the rear panel allow speaker cable connections to the amplifier outputs. The special design allows con- nection of large diameter speaker cable while reducing shock hazard due to the high output power of MXa amplifiers. The “ hot ” terminal of each output pa[...]

7 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: Channel will not come out of muting • If reducing the gain control to ∞ attenuation does not release muting, the channel is defective or overheated (see “ Overheating, ” below). • If reducing the gain releases the muting, raise the gain back up slowly while you watch the “ SIG ” and “ CLIP ” indicators; [...]

10 PARALLEL, STEREO, OR BRIDGED OPERATION The Parallel-Stereo-Bridge switch is located on the input panel, next to the input jack for channel 1). The most commonly used operating mode for a power amplifier is “ Stereo, ” in which the two channels are independent and separate all the way from input to output. Set the switch in the center positio[...]

11 VI. LONG-TERM OUTPUT POWER In a properly designed sound system, you can usually obtain the desired sound level without using the full output power of the amplifier; if the “ CLIP ” indicators flash once in a while, that is perfectly normal. If the amplifier is operated at extremely high power levels, it may overheat or may even damage the sp[...]

12 HEAT EMISSIONS Essentially, a power amplifier draws electrical energy from the AC mains, converts it to DC, and then converts it again into an analog of the input signal to send out to the loudspeakers. Any AC power that enters the amplifier through the power cord and does not exit through the speaker outputs turns into heat, which the amplifier[...]

13 output until it can be repaired, at which time the fuse should be replaced also. Temperature sensors on the channel heatsinks and the power transformers are part of the thermal management circuitry. On the MX 1000a, MX 1500a, and MX 2000a, the temperature sensors govern whether the dual-speed fan should run at low or high speed. Below 55 ˚ C, t[...]
