QDC42.DSP

Eight Channel Amplifier

The Acoustic Technologies QDC42.dsp is an elegantly designed eight channel audio amplifier featuring extensive fully integrated digital signal processing systems on board. The QDC42’s amplifiers produce 40 Watts into 4 Ohm Loads, are highly linear, unconditionally stable and feature extensive on-chip thermal management & protection circuitry.

The DSPB23 Digital Signal Processing System (DSP) offers comprehensive audio processing capabilities. Fully featured Equalisation, Crossover, Gain, Delay and Dynamics Controls are provided. A PC based graphical user interface provides a familiar DSP programming environment.

The QDC42.dsp is a highly refined system building block, intended for use in professional audio applications including :
* Courts of Law
* Public Transportation Terminals such as:

    Airports
    Bus Terminals &
    Railway Stations
* Parliamentary Debating Chambers
* Luxury Home Audio Distribution Systems
* Supermarkets, Shopping Centres
* Conference Centres
* Corporate Board Rooms

Such systems will generally employ multiple amplifiers within the overall system. With this in mind the QDC42 is convection cooled, eliminating the noise, maintenance and reliability issues associated with in-built cooling fans.

In Summary: The QDC42.dsp integrated digital system processor amplifier offers superb audio performance with extensive configuration capabilities in a footprint specifically engineered to meet the complex requirements encountered within large scale installations.
