QSC CX168

The QSC CX168 is an eight channel amplifier designed for installation applications requiring premium sound quality and high output. Recognized by sound contractors worldwide for their reliability, CX 8-channel amplifiers feature PowerLight™ power supply technology reducing weight, eliminating AC mains hum and improving audio quality. The highly efficient power supply also draws less power and produces less heat resulting in added energy savings. CX 8-channel amplifiers also feature advanced amplifier control and monitoring via the Q-SYS™ network audio platform.

Features:
