Overview
The Quest QXD-10KD is the flagship of the QXD range: a 2RU four channel Class-D amplifier with up to 2500 W per channel into 4 ohm and 10,000 W total peak, plus four Dante and AES67 network inputs. It will drive 8 ohm, 4 ohm, 70V or 100V loads, so it can run big point source mains and subs or long distributed lines from one chassis.
Onboard 32-bit/96 kHz DSP handles FIR and IIR filtering, peak and RMS limiting, delay and the Quest speaker library, so crossover and protection for a full Qi system live inside the amp. It suits large churches, auditoriums, performing arts centres, sports halls and production venues already running a Dante network.

Forefront Tip
Load the Quest preset for each speaker before you send any level, then set the limiters to suit the boxes on each channel. On a Dante system, give the amp a fixed IP address and clear channel names in Dante Controller so the next tech can find it in a hurry. If you do not need network audio, the QXD-10K is the same amplifier without Dante.
