ESX QUANTUM QS-FOUR Full Range Class D AmpInstrukcja obsługi lifier

1. Wprowadzenie i koniecview

The ESX QUANTUM QS-FOUR is an ultra-compact 4-channel Class D amplifier designed to significantly upgrade your car audio system. This powerful yet miniature 4-channel version measures only 90 x 35 x 80 mm, making it one of the smallest amplifiers in its class. It delivers an impressive 4 x 60 Watts RMS, providing substantial power to factory or aftermarket speakers.

The QS-FOUR features exceptionally low distortion (THD+N < 0.007% at 5W/RMS) and high efficiency (up to 90%), ensuring clear and dynamic sound reproduction. Its compact size allows for flexible installation, often directly behind the dashboard, making it an ideal plug-and-play solution for vehicles. The amplifier's low current draw (5-10 Amps) means it can often utilize existing factory power cables. Additionally, the QS-FOUR includes low-level outputs for connecting active subwoofers or larger monoblock amplifiers, offering expandability for enhanced bass.

5. Konfiguracja i instalacja

5.1 połączeń przewodów

Before making any connections, ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected. Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring.

Pobór mocy:

  • +12V: Connect to the positive terminal of the car battery via an inline fuse (not included, but a fuse holder is provided).
  • masa: Connect to a solid, unpainted metal point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure a good ground connection.
  • REM (zdalny): Connect to the remote output of your head unit. If using high-level inputs with Auto-Turn-On, this connection may not be necessary.

Wyjście głośnika:

Connect your speakers to the designated terminals. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The amplifier obsługuje pracę w trybie stereo 4-kanałowym lub w trybie mostkowym 2-kanałowym.

  • FL+/FL-: Głośnik przedni lewy
  • FR+/FR-: Prawy przedni głośnik
  • RL+/RL-: Tylny lewy głośnik
  • RR+/RR-: Tylny prawy głośnik
  • Tryb mostkowy: For 2-channel operation, connect the positive of the left speaker to FL+ and the negative to FR-. For the right speaker, connect positive to RL+ and negative to RR-. Refer to the manual for specific bridging instructions.

Połączenia wejściowe:

  • Wejście wysokiego poziomu: Use the provided harness to connect to your head unit's speaker outputs. The EPS (Error Protection System) ensures compatibility with various factory systems.
  • Wyjście liniowe RCA: Use the RCA cables to connect to an active subwoofer or another ampliyfikator.

5.2 Ustawienia początkowe

  • Level Input (Gain): Start with the gain knobs set to minimum (MIN). Gradually increase the gain until the sound is clear and distortion-free at your desired listening volume. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can introduce distortion.
  • X-OVER (Crossover):
    • PEŁNY: Full range audio (no filter).
    • HP (Wysoki przebieg): Allows frequencies above 80 Hz to pass, typically used for full-range speakers to remove bass.
    • LP (niski przebieg): Allows frequencies below 80 Hz to pass, typically used for subwoofers (though this amplifier is not primarily for subwoofers, it can be used for mid-bass applications).
  • AUTO TURN-ON:
    • OFF: Amplifier turns on via the REM wire.
    • GŁOS: Amplifier turns on when an audio signal is detected (signal sensing).
    • Prąd stały: Amplifier turns on when a DC offset is detected on the high-level inputs (common with factory head units).
