2. Which of the following sentences is true about the PLD/CXD power supply?

Explanation

The correct answer is "The Powerlight power supply draws current efficiently using Power Factor Correction." This sentence explains that the Powerlight power supply is able to draw current efficiently by utilizing Power Factor Correction. This technology helps in optimizing the power usage and reducing energy wastage.

Submit
3. Why is the PLD/CXD built "upside-down"?

Explanation

The PLD/CXD is built "upside-down" to prevent small particles from ending up on the circuit boards. By placing the boards upside-down, any particles that may fall during the manufacturing process will fall away from the sensitive components, reducing the risk of short circuits or other damage. This design helps to ensure the reliability and performance of the amplifier by minimizing the chance of contamination from particles.

Submit
4. What two factors define the deliverable power to a single amplifier channel?

Explanation

The deliverable power to a single amplifier channel is defined by the current and voltage. Current refers to the flow of electric charge in the circuit, while voltage is the potential difference that drives the current. These two factors determine the amount of power that can be delivered to the amplifier channel.

Submit
5. What are the primary functions of the Amplifier Navigator Software?

Explanation

The primary functions of the Amplifier Navigator Software are to update amplifier firmware and to copy Preset libraries. This software allows users to easily update the firmware of their amplifiers, ensuring that they have the latest features and improvements. It also allows users to copy and manage preset libraries, making it easy to transfer settings between amplifiers or backup and restore presets as needed.

Submit
6. What does the Preset Wizard do?

Explanation

The Preset Wizard helps users select the best amplifier channel configuration based on their parameters. This means that it assists in determining the optimal setup for the amplifier channels based on the specific needs and preferences of the user. It simplifies the process of configuring the amplifier by providing preset options that are tailored to the user's requirements.

Submit
7. What does FAST do?

Explanation

FAST (Flexible Amplifier Summing Technology) is a system that actively distributes amplifier power in any combination of channels. This means that it allows the user to allocate power to different channels as needed, providing flexibility and efficiency in amplification. It is a technology that enables the amplifier to adapt to different audio setups and optimize power distribution accordingly. By actively distributing power, FAST ensures that each channel receives the appropriate amount of power, resulting in improved audio performance.

Submit
8. What type of amplifier is the PLD/CXD?

Explanation

The PLD/CXD is a Class D amplifier. Class D amplifiers use switching technology to efficiently amplify audio signals. They have high power efficiency, low heat dissipation, and small size, making them ideal for applications where power consumption and space are important factors. Class D amplifiers are commonly used in audio systems, such as car audio systems and professional sound reinforcement systems, where high power output is required.

Submit
9. The PLD/CXD amplifier can automatically assign specific signal processing to designated QSC loudspeakers to maximize their performance. What is the name of this feature?

Explanation

Intrinsic Correction is the name of the feature in the PLD/CXD amplifier that automatically assigns specific signal processing to designated QSC loudspeakers to maximize their performance. This feature allows for precise and accurate sound reproduction by correcting any inherent imperfections in the loudspeakers' response, resulting in optimized performance and enhanced audio quality.

Submit
10. Why do channels A and C share a heat sink?

Explanation

Channels A and C share a heat sink because channel A is most commonly paired with channel B. This arrangement helps to distribute the thermal load evenly when both channel A and B are in use. By sharing a heat sink, the thermal load of both channels can be handled effectively, allowing the other heat sink to cool down. Additionally, channels B and D also share the same circular heat sink, further optimizing the cooling system.

Submit
11. What is the default password on the Lockout feature?

Explanation

The default password on the Lockout feature is "QSC".

Submit
12. Which loudspeakers benefit most from a Bridge-Parallel mode?

Explanation

Loudspeakers with impedance in the 4 - 8 ohm region benefit most from a Bridge-Parallel mode because this mode allows for combining the power of two channels to drive a single loudspeaker. In this mode, the impedance of the loudspeaker is effectively halved, which means that loudspeakers with higher impedance (more than 8 ohms) may not be able to take full advantage of the increased power. On the other hand, loudspeakers with lower impedance (less than 4 ohms) may be at risk of overloading the amplifier. Therefore, loudspeakers with impedance in the 4 - 8 ohm region are the most suitable for this mode.

Submit
13. What mode combines two channels to provide more power to higher impedance loudspeakers?

Explanation

Bridge mode combines two channels to provide more power to higher impedance loudspeakers. In this mode, the two channels are connected in parallel, with one channel's output inverted and then combined with the other channel's output. This results in an increased voltage and power output, allowing for better performance with speakers that have higher impedance.

Submit
14. What are the three primary components of each amplifier channel?

Explanation

The three primary components of each amplifier channel are storage capacitors, filters, and custom MOSFET output devices. Storage capacitors store and release electrical energy, filters remove unwanted frequencies from the signal, and custom MOSFET output devices amplify and control the signal. These components work together to ensure efficient and high-quality amplification of the audio signal.

Submit
15. Which of the following are main pillars of the PLD/CXD amplifiers? Check all that apply.

Explanation

The main pillars of the PLD/CXD amplifiers are Fast Flexible Power, Real Useful DSP, Advanced Amplifier Technology, and Unmatched User Experience. These features contribute to the overall performance and functionality of the amplifiers, allowing for fast and flexible power delivery, advanced digital signal processing capabilities, cutting-edge amplifier technology, and an unparalleled user experience. The option "Clunky Outdated System" is not a main pillar of the amplifiers as it implies an inferior and outdated system, which contradicts the advanced features mentioned in the other options.

Submit
16. When you save a new Preset with the Preset Wizard, that preset is automatically loaded to the amplifier.

Explanation

When you save a new Preset with the Preset Wizard, that preset is not automatically loaded to the amplifier.

Submit
17. When you press the Gain button on the Front Panel and adjust a channel's gain, the change is not active until you select the Enter button.

Explanation

When you press the Gain button on the Front Panel and adjust a channel's gain, the change is immediately active and does not require selecting the Enter button.

Submit
18. What mode combines two channels to provide more power to lower impedance loudspeakers?

Explanation

Parallel mode combines two channels to provide more power to lower impedance loudspeakers. In this mode, the positive terminals of both channels are connected together, as well as the negative terminals. This results in the total impedance being halved, allowing for more power to be delivered to the speakers. By combining the power of two channels, parallel mode is able to drive lower impedance speakers more efficiently and effectively.
