The three SRA models, ranging from 200W per channel to 725W per channel at 8 ohms, are designed to offer the professional cinema reference standards of the DCA series, with performance optimized for demanding production and residential applications. The SRA Series is packed with features designed to meet the specialized needs of critical listening environments, say QSC, such as a very quiet variable speed fan which is virtually inaudible at low signal levels, individually addressable clip limiters and subsonic filters, balanced XLR connectors, and gold-plated RCA inputs featuring advanced hum reduction circuitry. The sleek, machined aluminum front panel is available in a choice of brushed silver or satin black finishes, and its removable rack ears make it equally at home on a shelf or in a rack.
The SRA line also incorporates QSC's HD15 DataPort connector to integrate with QSControl, QSC's computer-controlled network audio system that facilitates remote amplifier monitoring and control via a standard Ethernet network, or digital signal processing accessories such as the company's DSP-3. The amplifier also provides a rear panel 12VDC trigger input that interfaces with all popular remote-control devices for seamless integration into modern systems.
Drawing upon QSC's undisputed leadership in high frequency (HF) switching power supplies, the SRA is built to deliver years of critical, reference level performance, and is backed by QSC's exclusive three-year warranty and service. "QSC's cinema reference technology has become an undisputed industry standard," remarks Barry Ferrell, QSC's senior product development manager. "With the introduction of the SRA series, we can now bring that same standard to the production, residential, and corporate environment."
