Introduction

Built for system integrators, the CXD series amplifi ers provide multi-channel amplifi cation with built-in DSP and enough power to drive wide varieties of speaker systems with optimal energy effi ciency. The CXD Series consists of three light-weight, 2RU, four-channel amplifi ers with on-board DSP and fl exible channel combining as well as 70V and 100V direct drive. These amplifi ers not only provide the power and processing to make your system perform better, they offer outstanding effi ciency ensuring that energy costs are kept to a minimum over the life of the installation.

CXD amplifi ers feature Flexible Amplifi er Summing Technology (FAST). Depending on the model, 1600, 2500, or 5000 Watts of total power can be distributed across one to four outputs. In addition, the CXD4.3 and CXD4.5, can drive 70V or 100V speaker lines directly from any one or all of the four outputs. This fl exibility allows CXD Series amplifi ers to drive (for example) two full-range, surface-mounted loudspeakers along with a subwoofer and one 100 V distributed loudspeaker line; or a high-power subwoofer and a bi-amplifi ed full-range loudspeaker; three 70V distributed loudspeaker lines and a subwoofer; or a single very high-power channel to drive monster subwoofers.

The CXD Series amplifi ers use QSC’s third-generation class-D power amp design in combination with a custom power stage utilizing a new output device. In addition, CXD amplifi ers employ the proven PowerLight power supply in conjunction with Power Factor Correction (PFC) which aligns the current waveform with the AC mains voltage waveform. PFC enables the CXD Series amplifi ers to draw current from the wall in a more effi cient and controlled manner resulting in very high power from a single standard AC breaker. Additionally, the CXD Series amplifi ers offer multi-stage sleep modes saving energy when possible without sacrifi cing performance. The result is an exceptionally powerful and fl exible platform that offers low weight and effi ciency.

With four channels of amplifi cation plus signal processing in just 2RUs, the CXD series replaces equipment taking up as much as three times the rack-space.

A single CXD Series amplifi er is a capable and sophisticated loudspeaker processor. Integration of processing and amplifi cation means that the DSP knows exactly what the amplifi er is doing so dynamics processing can be far more accurate and effective. This approach employs both RMS and Peak

Limiters that allow the amplifi er and loudspeaker to produce more output without being pushed to distortion or destruction.

The on-board DSP offers four channels of cross-over fi lters, parametric EQ/Low-shelf/High-shelf, alignment delay and dynamics processing — everything needed to optimize a loudspeaker system. Additionally when using QSC loudspeakers, CXD amplifi ers provide Intrinsic Correction™, a combination of fi ltering, limiting and loudspeaker knowhow that was fi rst developed for QSC's WideLine line-array loudspeakers. Intrinsic Correction compensates for the non-linearity in array and horn design resulting in exceptional performance.

The CXD also includes manufacturers' recommended tunings for the most popular passive loudspeakers. A system setup wizard helps you select the right preset, or select one of the 20 confi guration templates and create tunings that you can save in the user preset library.

With a dedicated front panel user interface, complete with LED meters and indicators, a 400 x 240 TFT color display, a rotary encoder and navigation buttons, the CXD amplifi ers provide an intuitive means to control the system.

Unpacking

There are no special unpacking instructions. You may want to keep the shipping material for the unlikely event that the amplifi er should need returning for service.

About Presets

The CXD amplifi ers are preset driven. In order to get the most out of the amplifi ers, an understanding of how presets work is essential. A Preset, in the context of the CXD amplifi ers, is a combination of amplifi er confi guration (inputs and outputs), DSP and loudspeaker assignments. When a preset is recalled it can change the output routing and wiring and/or any of the DSP settings.

The CXD amplifi ers come with 20 unchangeable factory presets, and 50 user-defi ned presets. The factory presets are designed to be starting points for creating the presets you need for your particular installation. Factory presets F1: thru F9: have no DSP or loudspeaker assignments, only output confi gurations. Factory presets F10: thru F20: include basic settings along with the output confi gurations.

Creating User-defi ned Presets

A preset can be created in two ways, the fi rst is to modify an existing preset, then save this as a new preset. The second is to use the Preset Wizard to create a Preset from scratch.

Save As a New Preset

After selecting a starting preset, navigate through the Input and Output menus to select and modify the parameters needed for your system. After modifying the parameters for each channel, return to the Preset menu and save your work. If you started with a user-defi ned preset, you can update the preset you started with using the SAVE function or, you can use the SAVE AS function.

Preset Wizard

The Preset Wizard simplifi es the preset creation process, and allows you to create a preset from the ground up. The Preset Wizard provides a mechanism for you to select the desired power and load. Based on these selections, the best amplifi er confi guration is selected and you are then allowed to select and assign loudspeakers to each output.

NOTE: By default, all 50 of the user-defi ned presets are confi gured the same as factory preset F1. Either method described above

"overwrites" some existing preset. The main difference is the SAVE function overwrites only the preset number you started with, and the

SAVE AS function allows you to save to a different user preset number and change the name.

Installation

The following steps are written in the recommended installation order.

Mount the CXD Amplifi er

The CXD Series amplifi ers are designed to be mounted in a standard rack-mount unit.

The amplifi ers are 2RU high, the CXD4.3 and CXD4.5 are 381 mm (15 in) deep, the

CXD4.2 is 229 mm (9 in) deep.

Depending on the depth of your rack, the Rear Rack Ear Support kit (FG-000031-00) may be required for rack mounting. Refer to http://qsc.com/products/ under

Accessories for details.

CAUTION!: Be sure that nothing is blocking the front or rear ventilation openings, and that each side has a minimum of

2 cm clearance.

— Figure 8 —

1. Use the proper fastening hardware (not included) to secure the amplifi er in the rack. The CXD4.3 and CXD4.5 have four front and four rear mounting tabs. The CXD4.2 has four front mounting tabs.

AC Mains

WARNING!: When the AC Power is on, there is a potential of having dangerous voltage at the output terminals on the rear of the amplifi er. Use caution not to touch these contacts. Turn off the AC Mains disconnect switch prior to making any connections.

The CXD amplifi ers have a Universal power supply 100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz, with an IEC locking connector.

1. Connect the IEC AC cable between the amplifi er rear AC connector and the AC source.

AC Power

— Figure 9 —

NOTE:

If the amplifi er has no audio for fi fteen minutes, the amplifi er stops switching. The amplifi er returns to the Run mode the instant audio is present.”

When you remove power from the amplifi er, then re-apply the power, the amplifi er returns to its last state.

There are four three-pin Euro-style connectors labeled 1 through 4 providing the audio inputs on the CXD Amplifi ers. A single input can be mixed to one or a combination of outputs. You can use from one to four of the inputs. The inputs are 10 k Ω balanced or unbalanced, with a sensitivity of either +4 or +14 dBu.

1. Make sure your audio source devices are powered off.

2. Connect the input source wires to the Euro-style connectors as shown. ( Figure 11 and

Figure 12 )

3. The CXD Series has the capability of routing the inputs to different outputs. Be sure that the connections you make here match the confi guration of the amplifi er.

4. Plug the Euro-style audio connectors into the appropriate inputs on the rear of the amplifi er.

USB (Optional)

The USB cable (supplied) connects to a Mac or PC for use with the Amplifi er Navigator software. You can update the amplifi er fi rmware, save and deploy confi guration fi les, and more. Refer to the Amplifi er Navigator online help for details.

— Figure 13 —

GPIO/Heartbeat

There are two 3.5 mm Euro-style connectors on the rear of the amplifi er.

• Heartbeat — The heartbeat output supplies a square wave signal of 1 Hz @ 3.3 V. This signal can connect to a life-safety system to monitor the go/no-go condition of the amplifi er. The amplifi er must be completely incapable of producing output for the heartbeat signal to stop. A missing heartbeat alerts the life-safety system of the disabled condition. A user-initiated condition such as muting the outputs, placing the amplifi er in

Standby mode, or placing the amplifi er in Mute All mode, does not stop the heartbeat.

• GPO — The functionality of this general purpose output pin has not been determined as of the release of this document.

• GPI — This input is used to put the amplifi er into Standby from a remote location. When the GPI is enabled in the Utilities menu, then is shorted to ground, the amplifi er goes into the Standby mode. The front-panel power button is disabled when GPI is enabled.

Outputs

The CXD amplifi ers have four confi gurable outputs. You can set the power, combine outputs (bridged and parallel), and adjust the DSP for each output. When the output confi guration of the amplifi er changes, the output terminals, controlled by relays, change accordingly. Use the diagrams shown in Figure 15 thru Figure 23 as a reference for wiring the loudspeakers .

Select the Output Confi guration

The fi rst step in confi guring your amplifi er is to select a Preset based on the loudspeakers being connected to the amplifi er. You can use a factory preset, and then adjust the parameters as needed, then save the confi guration as a user-defi ned preset. In addition, you can use the "Preset Wizard" on page 16 to create presets from the ground up. When the confi guration is changed, all four channels are automatically muted.

WARNING!: When the AC Power is on, there is a potential of having dangerous voltage at the output terminals on the rear of the amplifi er. Use caution not to touch these contacts. Turn off the AC Mains disconnect switch prior to making any connections.

IMPORTANT: QSC recommends that you connect jumpers between the output terminals where the terminals are the same points electrically. When confi guring your amplifi er, there are going to be some loudspeaker connections that are noted as being "electrically

the same point". In Figure 15 , all four channels are in parallel with the "electrically the same" terminals jumpered as recommended. In addition, you can connect one loudspeaker to each of the four output channel terminals, and the four loudspeakers are in parallel; in this case you would not need to jumper the terminals. You can connect four loudspeakers to one channel's output terminals (i.e. T1 and T2), and the four loudspeakers are in parallel; in this case you would want to jumper the terminals. In all of the examples below, the

"electrically the same" terminals are shown with jumpers installed.

1. Turn the AC Mains power switch on the back of the amplifi er to on. The amplifi er starts in the Run mode.

2. Press and release the front-panel power button. The button fl ashes red, the amplifi er is in Mute All mode.

3. Select the confi guration appropriate for your loudspeakers, using either Preset Recall, or the Preset Wizard.

The following is a list of confi gurations for 1, 2, 3, and 4-channel outputs. This is not an exhaustive list, but is intended to give you an idea of what is available and how the outputs would be wired.

INPUTS

Mixer

The CXD amplifi ers are equipped with an internal mixer that allows you to adjust the signals from each input to each of the four outputs. Figure 26 is a diagram of the Mixer for Output Channel A.

• The default setting for the Input Gain is 0.0 dB, and is set in the

INPUTS section.

• Each output channel has four inputs, each controlled by a Mixer Gain.

• The Input Gain and Mixer Gain are cumulative. For example, if you set the

Input Gain to +2.0 dB, and the Mixer Gain to -5.0 dB, the resulting output is -3.0 dB

Input 1

0.0 dB

Input 2

0.0 dB

Input 3

0.0 dB

As a default one channel is mixed to each output: 1 - A, 2 - B, 3 - C, 4 - D, all other input channels are set to -100. Adjusting an Input Gain changes that channel's input to the mixers of all channels. Changing a Mixer Gain affects only that input for the selected output channel.

Loudspeaker Processing

The Speaker Processing section allows you to make adjustments to the Crossover, EQ, Delay, Limiter, and QSC Array details for each output channel.

In addition, you can load a pre-defi ned loudspeaker then make any adjustments needed, and save the changes as a user-defi ned loudspeaker.

Depending on the loudspeaker selection, various parameters are not available for adjustment. When you make adjustments, you are making them in real time. If audio is passed while making changes, it is affected by the change.

The following instructions are not all in menu order, and all are optional. Repeat the following procedure for each output channel as necessary.

Load Speaker Profi le

A loudspeaker profi le includes all the DSP and loudspeaker characteristics available in the SPKR PROC section. When you LOAD a loudspeaker, you are loading all of the DSP and characteristics of that loudspeaker. You can start by loading a loudspeaker and then make modifi cations and save your new profi le, or you can build the profi le without loading a loudspeaker, and then save it as a new profi le. If you load a QSC loudspeaker, the amplifi er is set for that specifi c loudspeaker and some parameters may be locked out because they are set to their optimal value by the Intrinsic Correction

Calculator, and should not be adjusted. The CXD comes with a number of supported loudspeakers from other manufacturers. Refer to the list under

"Supported Loudspeakers" on page 27 . There may be additions to this list in the futrue that can be loaded with fi rmware updates.

NOTE: If you make changes to any of the loudspeaker processing parameters, and then LOAD a loudspeaker profi le, all the changes you made are overwritten.

Heat Loss Charts

Heat losses are the thermal emissions from an amplifi er while it is operating. It comes from dissipated waste power—i.e., real AC power in minus audio power out. Measurements are provided for various loads at idle, 1/8 of average full power, 1/3 of average full power, and full power, with all channels driven simultaneously. For typical usage, use the idle and 1/8 power fi gures. This data is measured from representative samples; due to production tolerances, actual heat emissions may vary slightly from one unit to another. Bridged mono into 8 ohms is equivalent to 4 ohms per channel; into 4 ohms is equivalent to 2 ohms per channel.

Idle

Thermal loss at idle or with very low signal level.

1/8 Power

Thermal loss at 1/8 of full power is measured with pink noise. It approximates operating with music or voice with light clipping and represents the amplifi er's typical "clean" maximum level, without audible clipping. Use these fi gures for typical maximum level operation.

1/3 Power

Thermal loss at 1/3 of full power is measured with pink noise. It approximates operating with music or voice with very heavy clipping and a very compressed dynamic range.

Full Power

Thermal loss at full power is measured with a 1 kHz sine wave. However, it does not represent any real-world operating condition.
