APPLICATION INFORMATION
As design improvements are continuous, the following information is subject to change. Contact QSC for current information.
QSC’s DSP-4 Module has been designed to attach directly to the DataPort connector of QSC’s CX, DCA, and Powerlight 2 series amplifi-
ers. When attached to CX, DCA, and Powerlight 2 amps manufactured 08/99 and later, the module receives its power through the
DataPort from the amplifier. Modules connected to earlier models of those just mentioned and all Powerlight amplifiers (the “non-2’s”)
require an external DC supply (available from QSC).
TO CLARIFY: CX, DCA, and PL2 amps made prior to August 1999 DO NOT provide adequate power supply voltage to the
module, requiring the use of the same type of external DC supply
as used with Powerlight amplifiers. The amps in question will
have a serial number PRIOR to
0899
XXXXX, where the first four digits of the serial number are the MMYY datecode. Again, the mod-
ules WILL work with these amps, but will require the use of our external power supply.
•
Full feature set, Direct-mounting, No external power required, No special interconnect cables required
