The RMX Series Amplifiers.
These rugged fan-cooled, 2-channel, 2-RU amps provide high-value performance
and power in a strong, compact chassis. The series comprises four models: the
RMX 850, RMX 1450, RMX 1850HD, and RMX 2450.
The HD designation on the RMX 1850HD designates this model as “heavy duty”.
The RMX 1850HD is superior to all other RMX models for driving 2-ohm loads for
extended periods. The RMX 1850HD is perfectly suited for subwoofer-type
applications.

FEATURES & SETUP
Clip limiter
WHAT IT IS
When the audio signal drives the amp’s output circuit beyond its power
capability, it clips, flattening the peaks of the waveform. The clip limiter
detects this and reduces the gain to minimize the amount of overdrive. To
preserve as much of the program dynamics as possible, limiting reduces the
average program level until peaks barely clip.
Each channel has its own clip limiter and you can switch it on or off
independently, as shown on left.
WHEN TO USE IT (OR NOT)
When driving full-range speakers, clip limiting reduces high-frequency
distortion caused by bass overloads.
It also protects higher-frequency drivers from excess overdrive and harsh
clipping harmonics.
When driving subwoofers, some users let the amplifier clip without limiting it
because it gives extra “punch” to kick drums and similar sounds.
CAUTION : In bi-amp systems, excessive limiting will affect the frequency
balance.
Input filter
WHAT IT IS
The low-frequency (LF) filter rolls off signals below either 30 Hz or 50 Hz.
This improves bass performance by limiting sub-audio cone motion, making more
power available for the speakers’ rated frequency range.
The filter settings for each channel are controlled individually through the
DIP switch settings shown. When the filter is turned off, a 5 Hz roll-off
protects against DC or deep sub-audio inputs.
WHEN TO USE IT (OR NOT)
As a rule, your speakers will sound better with proper filtering. Unless you
already have filtering in a preceding device, match the setting to the low-
frequency rating of your speakers. Vented (bass reflex, ported, etc.) speakers
are especially sensitive to cone over-excursion at frequencies below their
rated limit.
The 50 Hz filter works well with most compact full-range speakers and has a
slight boost at 100 Hz for greater fullness. The 30 Hz filter is intended for
subwoofers and large full-range cabinets. The “off” position should be used
only for applications such as studio playback monitoring, where you need to
know if there are unwanted sub-audio signals present in your mix.
Parallel input mode WHAT IT IS
The “Parallel Input” switches let you operate the amplifier in parallel mode,
delivering the same signal to both channels without using a Y-cable. Each
channel drives its own
speaker load, with independent gain, filtering, and clip limiting.
Set switch positions 4 and 5 “ON” to couple the inputs together. Turn the
switches off for stereo, bi-amping, or other 2-channel modes.
With the inputs in parallel, you can use the other set of input connectors to
carry the signal to other amps. This is often called a “daisy chain.”
WHEN TO USE IT
Parallel the inputs when driving two speakers with one input signal (parallel
mode) while keeping separate control of both channels’ gain, filtering, and
limiting. Use them in bridged mono mode to patch the signal to additional
amplifiers through the extra input jacks. See page 12 for an explanation of
amp operating modes.
NOTE : If you’re using a balanced signal, use only balanced patch cables;
even one unbalanced cable will unbalance the entire signal chain, possibly
causing a hum.
NOTE : Turn off the “Parallel Inputs” switches when feeding the amp two
separate signals.
Bridge mono mode
WHAT IT IS
To patch the signal to additional amplifiers, use the parallel input switches
described on page 10.
Pour amener le signal vers d’autres amplificateurs, suivez les instructions de
la page 10.
Um das Eingangs-signal weiteren Verstärkern zur Verfügung zu stellen,
verwenden Sie die Parallel Input Schalter wie auf Seite 10 beschrieben.
Para pasar la señal a los amplificadores adicionales utilice el selector de
entrada paralela descrito en la página 10.
Bridge mono mode
WHAT IT IS
Bridged mono mode combines the power of both amp channels into one speaker,
resulting in twice the voltage swing, four times the peak power, and
approximately three times
the sustained power of a single channel. This mode uses Channel 1’s input,
gain control, input filter, and clip limiter; Channel 2’s should not be used.
WHEN TO USE IT (OR NOT)
Use bridged mono to deliver the power of both channels to a single 8- or 4-ohm
load. Set switch positions 6 and 7 to “BRIDGE MONO ON.” Use Channel 1’s
inputs, and connect the speaker as shown.
BRIDGED-MONO PRECAUTIONS:
This mode puts a high demand on the amplifier and speaker, Excessive clipping
may cause protective muting or speaker damage. Be sure the speaker has a
sufficient power rating. Output voltages greater than 100 volts RMS are
available between the bridged terminals of the RMX 2450. CLASS 3 wiring
methods (NEC 1999), as specified in
accordance with national and local codes, must be used to connect the speaker.
What are the differences between Stereo, Parallel Input, and Bridge Mono modes?
STEREO MODE
This is the “normal” way of using the amplifier, in which each channel is fully independent. Separate signals connect at the inputs, the gain knobs control their respective channels, and separate speakers connect to each output.
Examples:
- Two-channel (stereo) playback.
- Two independent mono signals, such as main and monitor mixes.
- The bi-amped operation, with the low frequencies in Channel 1 and the highs in Channel 2.
What are the differences between Stereo, Parallel Input, and Bridge Mono
modes?
STEREO MODE
This is the “normal” way of using the amplifier, in which each channel is
fully independent. Separate signals connect at the inputs, the gain knobs
control their respective channels, and separate speakers connect to each
output.
Examples:
- Two-channel (stereo) playback.
- Two independent mono signals, such as main and monitor mixes.
- The bi-amped operation, with the low frequencies in Channel 1 and the highs in Channel 2.
PARALLEL INPUT MODE
This mode is just like Stereo mode, except that the inputs for Channel 1 and
Channel 2 are internally connected together. A signal into any input jack will
therefore drive both channels directly. Each channel’s gain control still
functions as usual, and each channel feeds its own speaker load.
You can patch the input signal onto additional amplifiers by using any of the
remaining input jacks.
Example:
- One mono signal drives both channels, with independent gain control for each speaker system.
BRIDGE MONO MODE
This mode combines the full power capabilities of both channels into a single
speaker system. The amplifier internally re-configures so that both channels
operate as a unit. This
delivers double the output voltage, resulting in four times the peak power and
three times the sustained power into a single 8- or 4-ohm speaker load. The
Bridge Mono mode section on page 11 describes the special speaker connection
used.
Examples:
- Driving a single 8-ohm speaker with the combined 4-ohm power of both channels.
- Driving a single 4-ohm speaker with the combined 2-ohm power of both channels.
Precautions:
- Bridge Mono mode makes it possible to drive thousands of watts into a single speaker. AC current consumption will usually be higher. Avoid excessive signal levels, and make sure the wiring and speaker can handle the power.
- If the load is 4 ohms or less and prolonged overloads occur, the amplifier will probably mute for several seconds during peaks, and the circuit breaker may trip.
- Do not use 2-ohm loads.
SEE THE ADDITIONAL BRIDGE MONO MODE WARNINGS ON PAGE 11.
INSTALLATION
Rack mounting of the amplifier is optional.
Use four screws and washers when mounting the amplifier to the front rack
rails.
Support the amp at the rear also, especially in mobile and touring use;
rear rack mounting ear kits are available from QSC’s technical services
department or by special order from your dealer or distributor.
CONNECTIONS
Inputs
Each channel has active balanced XLR and ¼-inch (6.3 mm) inputs wired in
parallel. The input impedance is 20 KW balanced, 10 KW unbalanced.
Balanced signals are less prone to AC hum, but unbalanced signals can be
suitable for short cable runs. The signal source’s output impedance should be
less than 600W to avoid
high-frequency loss in long cables.
Balanced inputs: Use the XLR or ¼-inch (6.3 mm) TRS input jacks, or the
barrier strip.
Unbalanced inputs: Connect the unused side of the balanced input to the
ground, as shown below left. A tipsleeve ¼-inch (6.3 mm)connector will
correctly terminate the unused
side of the input without modification.
For two-channel (stereo) operation, use the inputs for both Channel 1 and
Channel 2; for parallel or bridged mono operation, use the Channel 1 input.
See the section on operating modes for more explanation. To patch the audio
signal to other amps (parallel and bridged modes only), see the instructions
for using parallel inputs on page 9.v
- Balanced
- Unbalanced
Speakon™ Outputs
The RMX amplifier offers a choice of output connections, with two Neutrik
NL4MD Speakon jacks and two pairs of “touch-proof” binding posts.
The Speakon connector is designed especially for high-power speaker
connections. It locks in place, prevents shock hazards, and assures the
correct polarity.
The upper Speakon jack has both Channel 1 and Channel 2 outputs, so it is
especially useful for parallel, bi-amp, or bridged mono operation (see bridged
mono operating
precautions on page 11). The other Speakon carries only Channel 2’s output.
See the illustrations on the left.
For easier insertion, use the newer style NL4FC Speakon connectors with quick-
lock thumb latches.
SPEAKER CABLING
Larger wire sizes and shorter lengths minimize both losses of power and
degradation of the damping factor. Do not place speaker cables next to input
wiring.
WARNING : To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with
any of the conductor portions of the speaker wire exposed.
Binding post outputs
- Strip back insulation not more than 13 mm (½ inch).
- Insert the wire fully so that none of the conductors is exposed; tighten the barrel (use a coin if necessary).
- Non-European models only.
- Spade lugs must have insulated barrels to prevent electric shock.
WARNING : To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the conductor portions of the speaker wire exposed.
Connections for stereo and parallel operations
Connections for bridged mono operation. See bridged mono operating precautions
on page 11.
SPEAKER CABLING
Larger wire sizes and shorter lengths minimize both losses of power and
degradation of the damping factor. Do not place speaker cables next to input
wiring.
Operating voltage (AC mains)
Make sure you connect the amplifier to the correct AC line voltage, which is
shown on the serial number label.
Connecting to the wrong line voltage is dangerous and may damage the
amplifier.
OPERATION
AC power switch
Before applying power, check all connections and turn down the gain controls.
One second of muting is normal when the amp is turned on or off.
Gain controls
The actual voltage gain of the amplifier is shown in dB.
Model | Maximum voltage gain |
---|---|
RMX 850 | 32x (30 dB) |
RMX 1450 | 40x (32 dB) |
RMX 1850HD | 46x (33 dB) |
RMX 2450 | 50x (34 dB) |
LED indicators
The yellow SIGNAL LED indicators light at approximately 0.1% of full power.
The red CLIP LED indicator flashes during overload (clipping).
If the amplifier’s protection circuitry triggers protective muting, the SIGNAL
and CLIP LEDs will not light. If this occurs during use, see the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Fan cooling
The fan speed varies automatically to maintain safe internal temperatures.
Keep the front and rear vents clear to allow full airflow.
Hot air exhausts out the front of the amp so it does not heat the interior of
the rack. Make sure that plenty of cool air can enter the rack, especially if
there are other units that exhaust hot air into it.
Safe operating levels
The amp’s protective muting system guards against excessive internal
temperatures. With normal ventilation and 4- to 8-ohm loads, the amplifier
will handle any signal level including overdrive—but make sure that the
speakers can handle the full power! However, lower load impedances and higher
signal levels produce more internal heating. Into
2-ohm loads, frequent or prolonged clipping (indicated by constant flashing of
the red CLIP LED) may trigger protective muting.
Bridged mono mode doubles the output impedance of the amp; 4 ohms is the
minimum load impedance. Heavy clipping may cause muting. If this happens, see
Troubleshooting, page 23.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: no sound
INDICA TION: POWER
INDICATOR NOT LIT
- Check the AC plug. Also, check the circuit breaker on the rear panel.
- Confirm that the AC outlet works by plugging in another device. If too many amplifiers are used on one outlet, the building’s circuit breaker may trip and shut off the power.
- An overload in bridged mono mode may cause the amplifier to click off for several seconds. Check the load impedance (4 ohms minimum), or reduce the signal level.
- An amplifier that keeps shutting off may have a serious internal fault. Turn it off, remove the AC power, and have the amplifier serviced by a qualified technician.
INDICA TION: SIGNAL-LED RESPONDING TO SIGNAL LEVEL
- If the yellow SIGNAL indicators are lighting normally, the fault is somewhere between the amp and the speaker. Check the speaker wiring for breaks. Try another speaker and cable.
No sound (continued)
INDICA TION: SIGNAL LED
NOT LIT
- If the green POWER indicator LED is lit and the fan is running, yet the signal LEDs indicate no signal, check the input. Make sure the signal source is operating and try another input cable. Connect the source to another channel or amplifier to confirm its operation.
- Overheating will cause protective muting. The fan will be running at full speed and the chassis will be hot to the touch; the sound should resume within a minute as the amplifier cools to a safe operating temperature. Check for proper ventilation. If the fan isn’t running at all, the amplifier requires servicing.
INDICA TION: CLIP-LED FLASHING
- If the red CLIP indicator flashes when the signal is applied, the amplifier output may be shorted.
Check the speaker wiring for stray strands or breaks in the insulation.
Problem: no sound
INDICA TION: CLIP LEDs
BRIGHT AND STEADY
The amplifier is in protective muting.
- One second of muting is normal when the amp is turned on or off.
- Overheating will cause protective muting. The fan will be running at full speed and the chassis will be hot to the touch; the sound should resume within a minute as the
amplifier cools to a safe operating temperature. Check for proper ventilation. If the fan isn’t running at all, the amplifier requires servicing.
Problem: distorted sound
INDICA TION: CLIP LED
FLASHING
- If the red CLIP indicator flashes before the signal indicator do, the load impedance is abnormally low or shorted. Unplug each speaker one by one at the amplifier. If the
CLIP LED goes out when you disconnect a cable, that cable or speaker is shorted. Try another cable and speaker to locate the fault.
INDICA TION: CLIP INDICATOR NOT FLASHING
- This could be caused by a faulty speaker or a loose connection. Check the wiring and try another speaker.
- The signal source may be clipping. Keep the amplifier gain controls at least halfway up so that the source does not have to be overdriven.
Problem: no channel separation
- Check the switch settings on the back of the amplifier. Make sure the “Parallel Input” and “Bridge Mode” switches are OFF in dual-channel, bi-amp, or stereo use where different signals go to each channel.
- Make sure other equipment in the signal path, such as mixers, preamps, etc., are set for stereo, not mono.
Problem: hum
-
Move cabling and signal sources to identify “hot spots” in the system. Cables with faulty shielding are a frequent entry point for hum.
Problem: hiss -
Unplug the amplifier input to confirm that the hiss is coming from the source or a device upstream; erratic or popping noises indicate an electronic fault in the offending unit.
-
To keep the normal noise floor low, operate the primary signal source at full level, without clipping, and avoid boosting the signal further between the source and the amplifier.
Problem: squeals and feedback -
Microphone feedback should be controlled with mixer controls. If noise continues to build up with zero mic gain, there is a serious fault in the signal processors or cables. Working in succession from the signal source towards the amplifier, check each device in the signal path by reducing its gain or unplugging it.
