MPA-Q Series Network Amplifiers

The MPA‑Q Series introduces a versatile mid‑power tier to the Q‑SYS network amplifier portfolio, delivering the ideal balance of performance and efficiency for medium‑to‑large spaces such as hospitality and retail environments, entertainment venues, and corporate or government facilities. Designed to keep audio flowing seamlessly, these amplifiers automatically switch to available analog inputs if network connectivity is lost and can restore network audio within seconds when PoE power is present. Fully integrated with the Q‑SYS Full Stack AV Platform, the MPA‑Q Series provides native audio routing and comprehensive control across distributed and performance audio applications, enabling a unified, scalable, and software‑driven AV experience across your entire venue.

Note: This topic provides an overview of MPA-Q amplifiers. For installation instructions and other documentation, see the MPA-Q Series product page on the QSC website.

  • Lo-Z, Hi-Z, 70 V and 100 V direct drive available on all channels (no bridging or manual switches required).
  • Analog, line-level audio inputs per output channel, fully routable into Q-SYS or direct out.
  • Two (2) gigabit Ethernet ports for redundant networked audio.
  • Quiet fan-cooled design allows for co-location with loudspeakers.
  • Quick audio restore after a power outage if PoE connection is available.
  • Standalone mode automatically switches to available analog inputs if network connectivity drops
  • Analog Mode bypasses networked audio and creates a fully analog amplifier. Front panel display allows basic channel configuration in this mode.
  • Four (4) GPI inputs and two (2) NO/NC output relays.
