Description
The Citronic QP1600 is a quad power amplifier built for multi-speaker installations where you need clean, reliable output across several zones. It gives you four fully independent channels, each with its own volume control, so you can set levels per room or area without compromise. The amplifier is stable down to 2 Ohms, which means it copes with demanding speaker loads, and the fully balanced signal path helps keep noise low with a signal-to-noise ratio of 103dB.
Connectivity is straightforward. Each channel has a balanced line input on XLRF (XLR female), with parallel XLRM (XLR male) outputs that let you daisy-chain the signal on to further amplifiers. Speaker outputs use four SPK connectors. This makes the QP1600 a practical choice when you're wiring up a larger system and want to pass the same source to multiple amps. The Class-AB construction delivers a frequency response of 5Hz to 50kHz with THD of just 0.05%, so the sound stays faithful to the source.
Housed in a 2U rack-mountable case measuring 483 x 439 x 88mm, the QP1600 fits neatly into standard racks (US: rack-mount) and won't take up more space than it needs. Circuit protection covers short-circuit, DC, overload and soft-start, giving you peace of mind in permanent installs. Powered from a 230Vac 50Hz IEC supply, it's a cost-effective and efficient option for venues, retail spaces and other settings running multiple speakers. If you want four channels of solid amplification from a single box, this is a sensible pick.

Frequently Asked
How many channels does the QP1600 have?
It has four fully independent channels, each with its own gain control, so you can set levels separately for different speakers or zones.
What power does it deliver?
The QP1600 provides 4 x 400W and is stable down to 2 Ohms, so it handles demanding speaker loads across all four channels.
Can I daisy-chain it to other amplifiers?
Yes. Each channel has parallel XLRM outputs taken from the balanced XLRF inputs, so you can pass the signal on to further amplifiers.
What connectors are used for the speakers?
Speaker outputs use four SPK connectors, one per channel.
How much rack space does it need?
It's a 2U rack-mountable unit measuring 483 x 439 x 88mm, so it fits standard racks without taking up extra room.
What protection features does it include?
Circuit protection covers short-circuit, DC, overload and soft-start, which helps keep the amplifier safe in permanent installations.
