QSC Audio Products, LLC. CX Series 260W 8-Channel Amplifier CX168

Designed for permanently installed sound systems where rackspace is at a premium, QSC's CX168 provides an unprecedented level of channel density for a multi-channel amplifier. Each pair of channels may be bridged to configure as a 4, 5, 6, or 7 channel unit. Like the entire CX Series, the 8-channel models feature DataPorts for remote amplifier management or signal processing, incorporate QSC's legendary PowerLight® technology, and deliver our unmatched reputation for quality and reliability.
QSC's PowerLight technology takes your audio to an entirely new level. Delivering tighter bass and clean, transparent highs, PowerLight also cuts waste heat, boosts reliability, and eliminates unwanted noise and hum. PowerLight is a revolutionary switching power supply technology that provides ample current to the audio power circuitry by charging the supply rails 230,000 times per second through an ultra-low noise impedance circuit. Unlike amplifiers that use conventional supplies, the audio signal is never starved prematurely and remains crisp and clean.
