Manufacturer's Description

QSC RMX2450a Low-Z 2-Channel Power Amplifier (800 W per Channel) is a 2RU rack mountable amplifier designed for live sound reinforcement applications. The amplifier features two 2-tier Class H output channels that can operate in either stereo or mono bridge mode. The unit operates on a standard 15 amp plug and utilizes high-current toroidal transformers for less noise and better performance when pushing a 2 ohm load. To reduce distortion, the amplifier utilizes independent user-defeatable clip limiters and includes LED indicator lights to show the presence of the signal and when the signal is clipping.
