In a new video recently released by QSC Cinema, Barry Ferrell, the company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, provides a tutorial and demonstration of the power output capabilities of the new DPA/DPA-Q amplifier platform. “With the advent of immersive audio and the need for high powered surround loudspeakers, we’ve seen a fair amount of ‘overspecification’, where amplifiers are sized larger than they need to be for most common cinema applications,” says Ferrell.  “Part of this comes from a misunderstanding of amplifier performance and specifications.”  The video provides an overview of QSC’s new Class D amplifier platform, which is used in the DPA/DPA-Q cinema amplifiers and the CXD/CXD-Q and PLD series professional audio amplifiers.  Because of the platform’s extremely DC high voltage rails and regulated power supply, the amplifiers are able to…

We are Garcia and Scott, a full-time, Nashville-based, Indie acoustic duo. We are currently performing 120 - 150 dates a year at theaters, opera houses, concert series, fairs and festivals in 10 states so far. We may be an acoustic duo, but we play hard and we often play loud. Since 2009, we’ve been using QSC K12s and have had them in every situation imaginable inside and out.
