QSC Audio IT-42 Fascicule
CONFIGURATION
With the IT-42 installed, the CX 302 amplifier can operate in several different configurations listed below.
TWO-CHANNEL OR TWO-ZONE OPERATION (STEREO OR PARALLEL)
Both channels 25V
Both channels 70V
Both channels 100V
One channel 25V, the other 70V or 100V
One channel 70V, the other 100V
Both channels 70V
Both channels 100V
One channel 25V, the other 70V or 100V
One channel 70V, the other 100V
BRIDGED MONO OPERATION
140V or 200V
Amplifier settings: To minimize transformer saturation, we recommend
always
using the amplifier’s 75 Hz input filters. We also
recommend using the clip limiters in most applications. See the amplifier user’s manual for instructions on configuring filters and
clip limiters, as well as configuring the CX 302 for stereo, parallel, or bridged mono operation.
Connecting outputs
Turn off the amplifier before opening the safety shroud over the output barrier strip or making any changes to the output
connections. Always close the safety shroud when you finish working on the output connections and before turning the amplifier
on. The illustrations at right will help you identify the correct output terminals for your distributed line.
