Detailed Description Bias Q3
Bias Q3 combines amplification, DSP and system monitoring in a 2U format. Its four channels have distinct symmetrical and asymmetrical load ratings, with power sharing supporting unequal channel demands. The integrated 4.3-inch touchscreen and rotary control provide local access, while ArmoníaPlus supports remote configuration and monitoring.
Analog, AES3 and Dante/AES67 interfaces support flexible signal routing. The processing platform includes FIR and IIR equalisation, crossover functions, alignment delay and protection limiters, with Void presets supplied. Two switched Gigabit Ethernet ports support star or daisy-chain networking. A universal mains supply with PFC and SRM supports operation from 90 to 264 V AC.
