Designed for permanently installed sound systems where
rackspace is at a premium, QSC’s CX108V and CX168
provide unprecedented levels of channel density for multi-
channel amplifiers. The CX108V and CX168 provide 100
watts per channel at 70 volts and 90 watts per channel at 8
ohms respectively. With both models, each pair of channels
may be bridged to configure these amplifiers as 4, 5, 6 or 7
channel units. Like the entire CX Series, the 8 channel models
feature DataPorts for remote amplifier management or
signal processing, incorporate QSC’s legendary PowerLight™
technology, and deliver our unmatched reputation for quality
and reliability.
QSC’s PowerLight technology takes your audio to an entirely
new level. Delivering tighter bass and clean, transparent
highs, PowerLight also cuts waste heat, boosts reliability,
and eliminates unwanted noise and hum. PowerLight is a
revolutionary switching power supply technology that provides
ample current to the audio power circuitry by charging the
supply rails over 200,000 times per second through an
ultra-low noise impedance circuit. Unlike amplifiers that
use conventional supplies, the audio signal is never starved
prematurely and remains crisp and clean.
