Detailed Description Bias Q5
Bias Q5 combines high-output amplification with integrated DSP for touring, events and demanding installations. It provides four channels with separate ratings for 8 Ω, 4 Ω and lower-impedance loads, together with bridged operation. Automatic power sharing supports unequal load demands, and analog and AES3 inputs provide signal connectivity.
ArmoníaPlus provides system configuration and monitoring, including FIR/IIR processing, crossover functions, alignment delay and protection limiters. The processing engine uses 40-bit floating-point precision. The mains platform supports single-, bi- and three-phase configurations according to the manufacturer’s connection requirements. The unit occupies 1U and supports WM Touch control.
