More about QSC’s ISA Power Amplifiers
Get professional power with Installed System Amplifiers. QSC’s ISA series is specifically designed to meet the high demands of sound system designers, contractors, and integrators around the world.
Sometimes called audio power amplifiers or power amps, power amplifiers increase the availability of electrical power to a specific source. Power amps are a versatile, yet crucial, piece of gear for anyone creating an audio setup, as they’re beneficial wherever you have a low-level signal that needs a boost. Examples of common power amp usage include entertainment and special events, home audio (theater, studio, office), instrumental performances, live concerts, portable PA, and other sound reinforcement applications.
Possibly the most common need for power amps is with passive loudspeakers: The mix-and-match nature of passive speakers and their components means that you can coordinate, scale, and personalize your audio equipment to your project’s needs—great for contractors and integrators who have specific audio parameters they’re aiming for, or for live sound setups that need to change or evolve!
Offering a variety of power amplifiers, QSC’s ISA series ensures you can find the right model that meets the specific configuration requirements of your setup. Three models feature isolated 25-, 70-, and 100-volt outputs for distributed sound systems, while four additional models boast low impedance and are rated for 2-ohm operation. Versatile loading options and a comprehensive set of features make the ISA Series a rugged, cost-effective solution for adding power to any permanently installed sound system.
