"The CMX Series provides unmatched performance, the right power for the job, and an affordable price point," states Shawn Watts, director of installed solutions at QSC. "Because CMX Amps are built with QSC's proven and reliable power plant, integrators need not worry about return warranty calls that can hurt profitability."
The amplifiers are designed to deliver true and accurate sound performance and feature high-current toroidal transformers and filtering to ensure generous energy reserves, allowing the amplifiers to effortlessly handle high-level transients, even when driving abusive 2-ohm speaker loads.
The CMX Series is available in four models the CMX 300V, CMX 500V and CMX 800V, housed in a 2RU chassis design, and the CMX2000V housed in a 3RU chassis design, with power ranges from 185 watts to 2500 watts per channel. All models feature constant voltage output for distributed audio systems, with the CMX300V and CMX500V offering it in mono-mode only, while the CMX800V and CMX2000V feature constant voltage output in either mono or stereo mode.
The output sections feature rugged class AB and class H architecture (depending on power level) and efficient class H output sections on the CMX800V and CMX2000V to reduce AC current. CMX amplifier output devices are directly mounted to the heat sink for optimum thermal coupling and cooling. Likewise, all CMX amplifiers are protected from damage by output short circuits with automatic current limiting protecting the amplifier from damage until the short is corrected.
