Amplifier

Details

The RMXa Series amplifiers from QSC offer true professional-quality performance at an affordable price. The 3-rackspace model RMX5050a provides 2500 watts per channel at 2 ohms. It features a compact chassis less than 16" deep. RMXa amplifiers include a comprehensive set of features including XLR and 1/4" balanced inputs, Speakon and binding post outposts for convenient connectivity. User-defeatable clip limiters and selectable low-frequency filters optimize sonic performance.

QSC's RMX 5050a power amplifier represents state-of-the-art in professional quality performance at an affordable price. Perfectly suited for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications including professional touring, performing musicians, and mobile entertainers, the RMX 5050a is optimized to deliver high levels of sustained power, extraordinary audio performance and road-proven reliability.

The RMX 5050a is a "heavy duty" model designed to work as hard into 2 ohm loads as most competing amplifiers will at 4 ohms. It features a three-tier, Class H design that is extremely efficient at real world power levels. Less AC current is wasted and more available current goes into producing useful audio power.

FEATURES
  • Compact size — up to 2500 watts in two rack spaces, or 5000 watts in three rack spaces
  • High-current toroidal transformers, for greater 2-ohm power and low noise
  • Independent user-defeatable clip limiters reduce distortion
  • Selectable low-frequency filters (30 Hz or 50 Hz) protect speakers and increase headroom
  • The 4000-watt RMX4050a operates on a standard 15 amp plug (120V)
  • Both the RMX4050a and the RMX5050a feature a dual mono, high-current power supply for increased reliability and performance
  • The RMX4050a's particularly exceptional combination of cooling capacity and electrical efficiency provides robust thermal performance suitable for high continuous power in 2-ohm stereo or 4-ohm bridged applications.
  • Balanced 1/4” (6.3 mm) TRS, XLR, and barrier strip inputs
  • Touch-proof binding post and Neutrik Speakon® outputs
  • Front mounted gain controls for easy access
  • Signal and clip LED indicators for monitoring performance
  • Independent DC and thermal overload protection on each channel automatically protects amplifier and speakers
