The gain controls shall be located on the rear panel and have 11 detents. They shall be labeled in dB of attenuation, from 0 to infinity. From 0 to 14 dB, the attenuation steps shall be 2 dB per detent. The labeled attenuation settings shall be 0, 4, 10, 18, 25, and ∞ dB.

The output connector for both channels shall be a barrier strip located on the rear panel, with screw terminals and a safety shroud. The terminals shall be arranged to facilitate bridged mono connection.
The inputs shall be located on the rear panel, consisting of a 3-pin detachable terminal block and a 3-pin XLR connector for each channel. The XLR input shall be wired with pin 2 high. Inputs shall be electronically balanced, with a minimum impedance of 20 kilohms balanced and 10 kilohms unbalanced, and a common mode rejection of at least 50 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

A High Density 15-pin DataPort connector shall be provided for carrying both audio and amplifier operational status signals to and from a QSControl network. The DataPort shall also accommodate plug-in crossover filters and other such accessories. A set of DIP switches on the rear panel shall be provided for: setting bridged mono and parallel-input operation; selecting clip limiters; and selecting high-pass filters and setting their frequencies.

Each channel shall be capable of meeting the following performance criteria with both channels driven: Sine-wave output power of 800 watts into 8 ohms, 20 Hz to 20 kHz at <0.03% THD; 1300 watts into 4 ohms, 20 Hz to 20 kHz at <0.05% THD; and 2000 watts into 2 ohms, 1 kHz at <1% THD.

Frequency response (with filters not engaged) at 3 dB below rated power shall be 20 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.2 dB. The maximum voltage gain shall be 64x, equivalent to 36 dB, and the 8-ohm input sensitivity shall be 1.24 Vrms (+4.1 dBu). The unweighted signal to noise ratio over the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz shall exceed 100 dB, referenced to full output. IHF damping factor shall exceed 200 with an 8-ohm load.

The amplifier chassis shall occupy three rack spaces and have provisions for securing the rear corners. Depth from mounting surface to tips of rear supports shall be 15.9" (40.4 cm).

The amplifier's weight shall not exceed 68 lb. (30.8 kg). The amplifier shall be the QSC Audio Products ISA 1350.
