Please take time to consult this manual so that you can understand all the features built into your Electro-Voice amplifier and fully utilize all its performance capabilities. 1.2 Unpacking and Inspection Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Inspect the power amp’s enclosure for damages that might have happened during transportation. Each amplifier is examined and tested in detail before leaving the manufacturing site to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition at your place. Please inform the transport company immediately, if the power amplifier shows any damage. Being the addressee, you are the only person who can claim damages in transit. Keep the cardboard box and all packaging materials for inspection by the transport company. Keeping the cardboard box including all packing materials is also recommended, if the power amplifier shows no external damages. CAUTION: Do not ship the power amp in any other but its original packaging. When shipping the power amp, make sure to always use its original box and packaging materials. Packing the power amplifier like it was packed by the manufacturer guarantees optimum protection from transport damage. 1.3 Scope of Delivery and Warranty • 1 Power Amplifier • 1 Owner‘s Manual (this document) • 1 Mains Cord • 4 Foot Stands • 1 Warranty Certificate Keep the original invoice that states the purchase/delivery date together with the warranty certificate at a safe place. 1.4 Features and Description Electro-Voice Q series amplifiers offer a package of reliable high output power, high efficiency and legendary pro audio performance. They are the premium choice as system drive for a variety of mobile and club sound systems like e.g. ZX, TourX and Phoenix loudspeaker families. Their comprehensive protection system includes circuitry against overheating, overload, short circuit, HF and DC as well as back-EMF and inrush current. Loudspeakers are protected by turn-on-delay relays. The build-in patented LPN (Low-Pass-Notch) filter compensates for transient distortion in dynamic signals (such as kickdrums) to achieve a higher acoustic output and more punch. 1.5 Responsibility of the User Speaker System Damage Q power amps provide extremely high power output that might be dangerous for human beings as well as for the connected speaker systems. High output voltages can damage or even destroy the connected speaker systems, especially, when the Q amplifier is operated in bridged mode. Prior to connecting any loudspeakers, make sure to check the speaker system’s specifications for continuous and peak power handling capacities. Even if amplification has been reduced through lowering the input level controls on the amplifier’s front panel, it is still possible to achieve full power output with a sufficiently high input signal. Danger at the Loudspeaker/Power Outputs Q amplifiers are capable of producing dangerously high voltage output that is present at the output connectors. To protect yourself from electric shock, do not touch any blank speaker cables during operation of the power amp. WARNING: The terminals marked with are hazardous live and the external wiring connected to these terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads of cords.

Only the provided power cord may be used. During installation, always separate the power amplifier from the mains. Connect the power amplifier only to a mains network, which corresponds to the requirements indicated on the type plate. 2.3 Mains Switch The Mains Switch on the front panel separates the power amp from the mains. Turning the Mains Switch to ON starts booting up the power amp. A soft start circuit compensates mains inrush current peaks and thus prevents the automatic cutout of the mains from reacting when switching on the power amplifier. Speaker system switch-on is delayed by approximately 2 seconds via output relays, effectively suppressing any possible power-on noise, which otherwise might be heard through the loudspeakers. PROTECT-LED lights up and fans are at high speed during this delay. This indicates all protections are working fine. 2.4 Mounting Q amplifiers have been designed for installation in a conventional 19-inch rack case. Attach the power amp with its frontal rack mount ears using 4 screws and washers as shown in following illustration. Additionally securing the amplifier at the rear becomes necessary, if the rack case in which the power amplifier has been installed will be transported. Failure to do so may result in damage to the power amplifier as well as to the rack case. Attach the power amp as shown in the illustration using 4 case nuts and screws. Brackets for securing the power amplifier are available as accessories. 2.5 Ventilation As with all Electro-Voice power amps with fan cooling, the airflow direction is front-to-rear, obviously because there is more cold air outside of the rack case than inside. The power amplifier remains cooler and dissipating the developing waste heat in a specific direction gets easier. In general, setting up or mounting the power amplifier has to be done in a way that fresh air can enter unhindered at the front and exhausted air can exit at the rear. When installing the power amp in a case or rack system, attention should be paid to these details to provide sufficient ventilation. Allow for an air duct of at least 60 mm x 330 mm between the rear panel of the power amplifier and the inner wall of the cabinet/rack case. Make sure that the duct reaches up to the cabinet’s or the rack case’s top ventilation louvers. Leave room of at least 100 mm above the cabinet/rack case for ventilation. Since temperatures inside of the cabinet/rack case can easily rise up to 40 °C during operation of the power amp, it is mandatory to bear in mind the maximum allowable ambient temperature for all other appliances installed in the same cabinet/rack case. CAUTION: Blocking/closing the power amp’s ventilation louvers is not permissible. Without sufficient cooling/ventilation, the power amplifier may automatically enter protect mode. Keep ventilation louvers free from dust to ensure unhindered airflow. Do not use the power amplifier near heat sources, like heater blowers, stoves or any other heat radiating devices. To ensure trouble-free operation, make certain that the maximum allowable ambient temperature of +40°C is not exceeded. 8 Owner‘s Manual PROFESSIONAL POWER AMPLIFIER 2.6 Groundlift The ground lift switch allows for eliminating noise loops. When operating the power amplifier together with other equipment in a rack case, setting the switch to the GROUNDED position is recommended. Set the switch to UNGROUNDED, when the power amplifier is operated together with appliances with differing ground potentials. 2.7 LPN-Filter The patented LPN (Low-pass notch) filter corrects the frequency and phase response of the connected loudspeakers. This effect can not be reached using equalizers or „Bass-Boosters”, because the LPN filter mainly optimizes the rise time of the audio signal. Switch the filter ON or OFF for evaluation of the actual effect that the filter has on the sound. The sound is getting more powerful, especially when using fullrange speakers (e.g. 12/2, 15/2) or subwoofers. For large systems (e.g. controlled via EV‘s DC-One) using the LPN filter is not recommended. 2.8 Selecting the Mode Of Operation and Audio Output Cabeling The MODE switch on the power amp‘s rear panel defines how the audio inputs handle the input signals. Possible settings are DUAL, PARALLEL or BRIDGED. DUAL In DUAL mode, the two channels of the power amplifier work independent from each other. This mode of operation is being used for all 2-channel applications, like stereo operation. Using the input level controls on the power amp’s front panel allows independently adjusting the channels’ amplification. PARALLEL In PARALLEL mode, the inputs of channel A and channel B are directly electrically linked. The audio signal has to be applied to the input connectors of channel A. Using the input level controls to independently control the amplification of the two channels is still possible because only the channels’ inputs are linked. PARALLEL operation is the mode of choice, whenever the same input signal drives multiple power amp channels of a large system installation. CAUTION: In PARALLEL mode, the input signal has to be fed to input channel A only. Typical Speaker System Cabling The first possibility in DUAL or PARALLEL mode is to use the two Speakon-type connectors, whereas speakers have to be connected to pins 1+ and 1– of the sockets. The correct connection is also indicated at the amplifiers rear panel. Bi-Amp Cabling The second possibility for connecting the speakers when the power amplifier is operated in DUAL or PARALLEL mode is to only use the Speakon-type connector CHANNEL A and to connect one speaker cabinet to pins 1+ and 1–, as described above and the second cabinet to pins 2+ and 2– as shown in illustration. Only pins 2+ and 2– of the Speakon CHANNEL A connector are assigned. Proceeding like this facilitates the cabling of speaker systems that are used in active 2-way operation (BiAmp). The correct connection is also indicated at the amplifiers rear panel.

The audio signal has to be applied to the input connectors of channel A, amplification is set via input level control of channel A only. CAUTION: In BRIDGED mode, the input signal has to be fed to input channel A only. Amplification is set via input level control of channel A only. In bridged mode operation speaker connection has to be established using pins 1+ and 2- of the Speakon socket CHANNEL A, see illustration right. The correct connection is also indicated at the amplifiers rear panel. Speakon CHANNEL A Anschluss 1+ 2- Belegung Bridged+ Bridged- Table 2.2: Speaker connection using Speakon A CAUTION: In BRIDGED mode operation, it is not allowable for the load connected to fall below a value of 4 ohms. Extremely high voltages can be present at the output. The connected speaker systems must be able to handle such voltages. Make sure to completely read and fully observe power rating specifications of the speaker systems to be used and to check them against the output power capacity of the power amp. 2.9 Audio Input Cabeling Inputs INPUT A and INPUT B are electronically balanced. The pin-assignment of XLRF-type connectors is in accordance with the IEC standard 268. 2, HOT 3, COLD 1, SHIELD Illustration 2.1: Balanced connection of input Whenever possible, using balanced audio signal feeds at the input of the power amplifier is always preferred. Unbalanced connections should only be used if the cables are very short and no interfering signals are to be expected in the vicinity of the power amplifier. In this case, bridging the screen (shielding) and the pin of the inverting input inside of the connector is 10 Owner‘s Manual PROFESSIONAL POWER AMPLIFIER mandatory. Otherwise, a 6 dB drop in level could result. Please also see illustration 2.11. Due to their immunity against external interference sources, such as dimmers, mains connections, HF-control lines, etc., using balanced cabling and connections is always preferable. 2, HOT 3, COLD JUMPER FROM COLD TO SHIELD Illustration 2.2: Unbalanced connection of input Next to its input connector, each channel provides an individual XLR-type connector (OUTPUT A or OUTPUT B), which is connected in parallel to allow for comfortably daisy-chaining the audio signal for the connection of additional audio equipment. 1, SHIELD 3, COLD 2, HOT Illustration 2.3: Balanced connection of output (Daisy-Chain) Owner‘s Manual 11 PROFESSIONAL POWER AMPLIFIER 3 Operation 3.1 Volume Control In DUAL and PARALLEL mode, the level controls CH A and CH B on the power amp’s front panel are used to control the amplification of the corresponding channel. Turning the control to the right increases and turning it to the left decreases the volume. In BRIDGED mode operation, the output volume of the power amp is only controlled by the CH A level control. Any changes in the setting of the CH B level control are ignored. 3.2 Indications PROTECT The PROTECT LED lights indicating that one of the internal protection circuits against thermal overload, short-circuit, Back-EMF, HF-occurrence at the output, etc., has been activated. In that case, the output relays separate the power amps from the load connected to prevent the connected loudspeaker systems and the power amplifiers as well from being damaged. Whatever caused the fault – e.g. a short-circuited speaker cable – needs to be removed. In case of thermal overload you have to wait until the power amplifier cools down and automatically regains normal operation. -40dB...LIMIT Level indication is realized via vertical LED chains on the power amp’s front panel that individually indicate the actual levels of each channel at -40dB, -30dB, -20dB and -10dB below full modulation and 0dB as soon as full modulation is reached. 0dB indication results from comparing the power amp‘s internal ratio of input to output voltage, which ensured precise indication of the full modulation limit, even before limiting becomes audible. The LIMIT LED lights as soon as the integrated dynamic audio limiter is activated and the power amplifier is driven at the clipping limit or generally at its maximum capacity. Short-term blinking is not a problem, because the internal limiter controls input levels of up to +21 dBu down to a THD of approximately 1 %. If, on the other hand, the LIMIT LED light constantly, reducing the volume is recommended to prevent the loudspeaker systems connected from being damaged by probable overload. POWER The POWER LED lights green when the power amplifier is on. If the POWER-LED does not light, despite the fact that the amplifier has been switched on, this indicates that the power amp is not connected to the mains or the primary fuse has blown. 3.3 FAN Cooling The power amplifier has two fans. The fans are switched in three performance-optimized levels, i.e. they are not running permanently but the speed of the fans is controlled depending on the ambient temperature.
