Cooling Air flow in QSC amplifiers: Cool air is drawn into the rear of the amplifier by the cooling fan. Warm air exits Air flows from the rack, into the back of the amplifier, and out the the front of the amplifier. front. This keeps the rack cool. The fan automatically runs faster when the amp is working hard. Do not block the front or rear air vents! AC Mains Connection Connect AC power to the IEC socket on the back of the amplifier. NOTE: Turn off the AC power switch before connecting A

Inputs Each channel has a balanced XLR (female) and 1/4-inch TRS input. The XLR and TRS Input connectors and pinout connectors for each channel are wired in parallel and can be used for “daisy chain- chart (PLX1802 shown) ing” an input signal to additional amplifiers. The input impedance is 20k ohm balanced or 10k ohm unbalanced. Both XLR and TRS inputs are connected with standard cables and can be changed quickly. Pinouts are marked on the rear panel. Do not attempt to connect more than one

PLX 1104 and PLX 1804 Output Connectors: Do Outputs not use less than 4 ohm impedance loads The PLX 1104 and PLX 1804 models are equipped with Speakon output with PLX 1104 and PLX 1804 models. connectors for each channel. PLX 1802, PLX 2502, PLX 3102, and PLX 3602 models are equipped with Speakon and binding post output connectors. Wiring connections are shown on the back of the chassis. Carefully note the markings and maintain consistent loudspeaker polarity for optimum system performance

LED Indicators The LED indicators can be used to monitor system operation and identify common problems. LED indicators on PLX 1104 and PLX POWER (PWR): BLUE 1804 models Normal indication: AC switch ON: LED will illuminate. If no indication: Check AC power cord and AC outlet. Confirm that AC switch is in ON position. CLIP: RED Normal indication: Illuminates whenever the amplifier is driven beyond full power. The resulting distortion corre- sponds to the brightness of the LED. Distortio

Gain Controls Gain controls and LED cluster on PLX 1104 and PLX 1804 models Turn the GAIN controls clockwise to increase gain and counter clockwise to decrease gain. The GAIN controls are marked in dB of attenuation. There are 21 detents for repeatable adjustments. The upper 14 steps are about 1 dB each, and settings should normally be made within this range. The range below - 14 dB should not be used for normal program levels, as the input headroom could be exceeded, but can be used for

Protection Systems Both amplifier platforms are fully protected against adverse conditions, but their behavior and user adjustments are different. PLX 1802/2502/3102/3602 models: Clip Limiting may be switched on the rear panel to prevent severe overdrive. This protects speakers and somewhat reduces the load on the amplifier. Internal current limits protect the output transistors against overloading. Peak limiting may occur at full output if using more than four 8-ohm speakers per channel,
