6. APPLICATION
6.1 Using the Q-Amp as a headphone amplifier
Connect a stereo (L&R) program source (2 x 1/4” Inch Jacks) to the rear of the
Q-Amp using one of the available 2 x stereo input pairs on the rear panel. You can
also connect a Mono signal to the input channel and split the signal into both sides
of the headphone.Connect a set of headphones using a stereo 1/4 Inch cable to
any of the headphone outputs on the front of the Q-Amp. Select the source signal
from the selector switch for the channel in use. Set to an appropriate level for
monitoring. Owing to the four independent channels of the Q-Amp, four individual
mixes for four musicians can be achieved with a single unit. In the application of
studio recording, you can configure sub-groups, aux sends or single outputs of
your audio mixer to feed signal independently to the Q-Amp. This enables each
musician to receive a specific configuration of instruments of their choice in there
headphones. Note: If four headphone outputs are not enough, you can interface
and link any number of Q-Amp’s for additional outputs.
6.2 Chaining multiple Q-Amp’s
It is very easy to chain multiple Q-Amp’s together. Use appropriate stereo 1/4 Inch
jack > to Y (2 x mono) cables and make connections from one of the outputs to
the stereo (L&R) audio inputs on the rear of your second Q-Amp. This effectively
allows an addition 3 x headphone outputs. You can continue to chain as many
units as you want using this procedure.
