Installation

To install the Nyquist NQ-A4XXX Power Amplifiers:

1. Ensure the POWER switch is in the off position.

2. This product requires a connection to a Mains circuit with a

maximum of a 20A breaker.

3. Connect a Cat-5 type cable into the amplifier’s Ethernet port and

ensure the other end of the cable is correctly connected to your

network.

4. Set each of the two

Amplifier Mode

switches to the desired setting.

Each of the two internal amplifiers (A+B and C+D) can be configured

for single-channel bridged mode (aka bridged-tied load) operation

for 70V/25V/8Ω applications, or 2-channel operation for 25V/8Ω/4Ω

applications. The Amplifier Mode switch is used in conjunction with the

Bridged Signal routing setting in the system console.

Bridged Mode

is typically used when higher power, single channel

operation with a high impedance loudspeaker load is desired. A

typical use-case would be for 70V or 25V loudspeaker runs, where

the total load is no less than 8Ω.

2-Channel Mode

is typically used for 8Ω or 4Ω loudspeakers or 25V

loudspeaker runs. This mode allows the two amplifier channels to

run independently.

In

Bridged Mode

, Line Input 1 (or Line Input 3) is used as input. For

2-Channel Mode

operation, Line Inputs 1 and 2 (or Line Inputs 3 and 4)

are used.

5. Connect the loudspeaker wires to the Amplifier Output Terminals

(labeled A +/−, B +/−, C +/−, and D +/−) as appropriate for the

desired mode of operation (

see Figures 1 and 2

).

Bridged mode

operation requires the speaker wires to be

NQ‑A4060‑G2, NQ‑A4120‑G2, NQ‑A4300‑G2

These networked Audio Power Amplifiers support a full range of

commercial paging, public address applications, and residential audio

applications, regardless of the venue size. The NQ-A4060, NQ-4120,

and the NQ-4300 can operate in 2-, 3-, or 4-channel mode, depending on

bridged mode configurations and application need.
Each networked audio power amplifier is a half-rack 2RU high enclosure

containing a Class D audio power amplifier, a universal switched-mode

power supply, an RJ45 network jack, a USB port, and pluggable Phoenix

style terminals for loudspeaker and Line-In connections. Optionally, Line-

In can be connected using the available RCA connectors.
