The ISA Installed System Amplifiers are designed to meet the needs of sound system designers and contractors worldwide. Three models feature isolated 25, 70, and 100-volt outputs for distributed sound systems, while four low impedance models are rated for 2-ohm operation. The ISA 1350 drives 70-volt lines directly with 1500 watts per channel. Versatile loading options and a comprehensive set of features make the ISA Series a rugged, cost-effective power solution for any permanently installed sound system.
QSC ISA1350 Features
- Drives 70V lines directly with 1500 watts per channel
- Rear panel gain controls for tamper resistance; 2-dB detents allow for quick and repeatable settings.
- XLR and detachable Euro-style input connectors
- DataPort V2 for use with DPV2-compatible signal processing accessories (XC-3, SF-3, LF-3) and DSP-3/DSP-4 (with external power supply)
- Independent defeatable clip limiters for reduced distortion
- Selectable high-pass filters (30 Hz or 70 Hz) protect speakers and prevent speaker transformer saturation, with minimal effect on program material
- Three-tier Class H complementary bipolar output circuitry reduces AC power draw and waste heat by 50%
- Front panel indicators include power, signal, clip and protect
- Covered barrier strip output connectors for safety agency compliance
- Automatic on-demand variable-speed fan: quiet normal operation, with maximum cooling when needed
- Rear-to-front air flow helps keep equipment racks cool
- Stereo, bridge, or parallel operating modes
