Description
The QTX QA1000 is a dual channel power amplifier built for dependable performance across a wide range of applications. We designed the QA Series around one clear priority: high power delivery without over-complicated features that add unnecessary cost. It's a straightforward workhorse that gets on with the job, whether you're running a venue, a mobile PA setup, or a fixed installation.
Connection options are generous for an amplifier at this price. Each channel takes both balanced and unbalanced signals, with Combo inputs accepting a 6.3mm jack or XLR, plus RCA (phono) for line level sources. On the output side you get Speakon-style SPK terminals, 6.3mm jack and 4mm binding posts, so you can wire up to suit whatever speakers and cabling you already have. Built-in overheat and overload protection circuitry keeps the amplifier safe when it's working hard, which matters when the unit is running for long sessions.
The QA1000 fits a standard 2U space in a 19" rack (US: 19-inch rack), making it easy to mount alongside mixers and processors. It runs on 110/240Vac at 50/60Hz through an IEC mains socket. Audio specifications include total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.25% and a signal to noise ratio of 90dB, giving clean output for the money. If you want an amplifier that focuses on real power and solid connectivity rather than extra features you'll rarely touch, this is a sensible choice.

It fits a standard 2U slot in a 19" rack (also called a 19-inch rack), so it sits neatly alongside your other rack gear.
Does it accept both balanced and unbalanced inputs?
Yes. Each channel has a Combo input for a 6.3mm jack or XLR (balanced), plus RCA phono for unbalanced line level sources.
What output connections are available?
You get SPK speaker terminals, 6.3mm jack and 4mm binding posts, so you can match most speaker cabling.
Is there any protection against overheating?
Yes. The QA1000 includes overheat and overload protection circuitry to keep the unit safe during long or demanding use.
What mains voltage does it run on?
It runs on 110/240Vac at 50/60Hz via an IEC mains connection.
Is this amplifier dual channel?
Yes, the QA1000 is a dual channel power amplifier with independent inputs and outputs for each channel.
