[QUOTE="Matt Skogmo, post: 93099, member: 4723"] Re: New QSC amp ???? Yes, I am a colleague of Bob's at QSC. As the thread has mentioned, there are some big name players in the industry who have worked with major IC manufacturers to develop modulator/drive technologies -- but from our perspective, that was quite expensive and the result wasn't going to be worth the investment. When we targeted custom silicon, we looked at the whole product needs. What needed to be done to create a platform of amplifiers that would be able to support the channel combining without majorly crazy and difficult small signal technology, to be able to support the specific needs of the integrator community, and support the needs of the portable pa/touring community. In many cases the requirements were at odds with each other. In the end, developing custom power silicon was the way to go. By creating our own silicon, we could develop a package that incorporated all of the needs. I know I am being a bit obtuse, but so it goes with custom stuff. From a technical point, each custom module has 6 power semiconductors... each module can electrically and thermally handle more than 1250W at 8 ohms. Matt [/QUOTE]
