Product Overview
Designed as a cost-effective solution specifically for sound contractors, QSC's ISA Series features seven models including four low impedance models (ISA 280, ISA 450, ISA 750, ISA 1350) rated for 2 Ω operation, and three "Ti" versions with isolated 25, 70 and 100 volt outputs for distributed audio systems (ISA 300Ti, ISA 500Ti, ISA 800Ti). Versatile loading options and a comprehensive feature set make the ISA Series a rugged, cost-effective power solution for any permanently installed sound system.
Housed in a rugged 3U chassis, the ISA750 features rear panel gain controls for tamper resistant operation with 2 dB detents for quick and repeatable settings. Inputs include both XLR and detachable Euro-style connectors. Outputs feature covered barrier strip connectors for safety agency compliance, and for added versatility, a DataPort V2 terminated with an HD-15 connector is provided for use with DPV2-compatible signal processing accessories. Plus, selectable high-pass filters are included to protect speakers and prevent speaker transformer saturation with minimal effect on program material.
The ISA 750 also offers class H complementary bipolar output circuitry to increase system efficiency by reducing AC power draw and waste heat by 40%. Cooling is accomplished via an automatic variable speed fan, which pulls air from back to front.
