Q: What types of speakers can be connected to the QP1600?
A: The QP1600 can drive speakers with impedances as low as 2 Ohms per channel, accommodating various speaker configurations. Ensure the combined load on each channel does not fall below 2 Ohms to maintain optimal performance.
Q: Can the QP1600 be used in a bridge mode configuration?
A: No, the QP1600 does not support bridge mode. It is designed for independent 4-channel output.
Q: Is the amplifier fan noise noticeable in quiet environments?
A: The cooling fans operate based on thermal requirements. Although audible in quiet settings, they remain unobtrusive in most professional environments.
Q: Can the QP1600 be used for subwoofers?
A: Yes, with its high power output and wide frequency response, the QP1600 is suitable for driving passive subwoofers, particularly in large venue installations.
Q: Is rack mounting hardware included?
A: Yes, the QP1600 comes with integrated rack ears for standard 19-inch rack mounting.
