AC Mains Current Draw
This table provides typical current draw for each model as a function of load and output power level. Units of measurement are amperes rms.
NOTE! Current draw shown is for 120 VAC line. For 230 VAC models, multiply values shown by 0.5.
•1/8 power (pink noise) represents typical program with occasional clipping. Use this rating for most applications.
•1/3 power (pink noise) represents severe program with heavy clipping.
•Full power (sine) is continuous sine wave driven at 1% clipping.
* Burst mode only. Protective limiting will reduce long-term AC current

Rack Mounting and Dimensions
Use four screws and washers to mount the amplifier to the equipment rack rails. To use the amplifier outside a rack, attach the self-adhesive rubber
feet to the bottom.
For portable, mobile, or other applications where the rack assembly may be moved, we strongly recommend supporting the rear of the amplifier. A
rear rack ear kit is available from QSC’s Technical Services Group.
Optional rack handles provide finger grips at each end, making lifting and setting into the rack more comfortable.
