New QSC CX1102 700W, 230V 2 Channel Power Amplifier | FG-011020-02

Engineered specifically for fixed sound installations, the QSC CX1102 Power Amplifier (FG-011020-02) provides exceptional audio performance, high power density, and bulletproof system reliability. Designed to operate on 230V AC power, this 2-channel power amplifier utilizes a 2-tier Class-H bipolar output circuit to maximize power efficiency while keeping heat generation to a minimum.

At the core of the CX1102 is QSC’s proprietary PowerLight switch-mode power supply technology, delivering heavy bass response and high-current power without the weight and bulk of traditional linear transformers. The amplifier produces 700 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 1100 watts per channel into 4 ohms, and 1700 watts per channel into 2-ohm loads (both channels driven). When operating in bridged-mono mode, it yields up to 3400 watts.

Built to streamline system deployment and maintenance, the CX1102 features active inrush limiting to eliminate power-on surges—removing the requirement for expensive power sequencers. Flexible rear-panel connections include both 3-pin XLR and detachable Euroblock (Phoenix-style) input connectors alongside safety-shrouded barrier strip output connectors. Rear DIP switches provide straightforward setup of clip limiters, selectable high-pass filters (33 Hz or 75 Hz), bridge-mono modes, and parallel operation. An HD15 DataPort connector enables direct integration with Q-SYS audio processors and QSControl systems for comprehensive remote monitoring and telemetry.
