Audio Power Ampliers
Installation and Use
These networked
Audio Power Ampliers
support a full range
of commercial paging
and public address
applications, regardless
of the venue size. Both
the NQ-A2060 and the
NQ-A2120 can operate
in 2-channel mono or single channel bridged mode, depending
on the application need.
Each networked audio power amplier is a half-rack 1RU
high enclosure containing a Class D audio power amplier,
a universal switched-mode power supply, an RJ45 network
jack, a USB port, and pluggable Phoenix style terminals for
loudspeaker and Line-Out connections. Optionally, Line-Out
can be connected using the available XLR connector.

6. DO NOT install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including ampliers) that produce heat.
7. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade, or the
third prong, are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
8. Protect the power cord from being walked on and/or
pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
9. Only use attachments/accessories that are specied by
the manufacturer.
10. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
11. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Installation
To install the Audio Power Amplier:
1. Ensure the POWER switch is in the off position.
2. Connect the universal mains power line cord into the
amplier.
3. Connect a Cat5 type cable into the amplier’s Ethernet port
and ensure the other end of the cable is correctly connected
to your network.
4. Set the Amplier Mode switch to the desired setting.
This amplier can be congured for single-channel bridged
mode (aka bridged-tied load) operation for 70V/25V/8Ω
applications, or 2-channel (mono) operation for 25V/8Ω/4Ω
applications. The Amplier Mode switch is used in
conjunction with the Bridged Signal routing setting in the
system console.

WARNING:
The apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket
outlet with
a protective earthing connection.
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not ex-
pose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects lled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used
as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
Bridged mode is typically used when higher power,
single channel operation with a high impedance
loudspeaker load is desired. A typical use-case would
be for 70V or 25V loudspeaker runs, where the total
load is no less than 8Ω.
2 Channel mode is typically used for 8Ω or 4Ω
loudspeakers runs. This mode allows the two amplier
channels to operate independently.
5. Connect the loudspeaker wires to the Amplier
Output Terminals, which are labeled A +/- and B +/-,
as appropriate for the desired mode of operation (see
Figures 1 and 2).
Figure 1. Bridged Wiring Diagram
Bridged mode operation requires the speaker wires to
be connected across a single, different terminal on each
channel (A+ and B-). (See Figure 1.)

If two channel mode is used, then Channel A is connected to the
A+ and A- terminals and B channel is connected to the B+ and
B- terminals. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2. Two-Channel Wiring
Notice
The minimum impedance of a Bridged 70V/25V/8Ω High
Impedance system should not be less than 8Ω.
The minimum impedance of a 2CH 25V/8/4Ω system
should not be less than 4Ω per channel.

The combined total power of each speaker tap must not
exceed 80% of the rated amplier power in either Bridged
70V/25V/8Ω mode or 2CH 25V/8/4Ω mode.
Failure to observe minimum speaker impedance will cause
the amplier to self protect until the speaker conguration
is corrected.
6. If using Line Input, route the input.
The amplier uses a balanced line level (up to 2V RMS) ana-
log audio input. You can use either XLR or Phoenix (but not
both) as the input.
This input can be routed to either or both amplier channels,
depending on the setting of the Amplier Mode switch.
7. Plug the power line cord into the power source.
8. Toggle the Power switch to the On position.
9. For information about conguring the amplier for the
Nyquist system, refer to the Nyquist Audio Power Ampliers
Conguration Manual.
Power Ratings
The NQ-A2060 can provide 60 Watts into two separate chan-
nels into 25V, 8Ω, or 4Ω, or 120 Watts Bridged (one channel) into

The NQ-A2120 can provide 120 Watts into two separate chan-
nels into 25V, 8Ω, or 4Ω, or 240 Watts Bridged (one channel) into

Viewing and Understanding LEDs
Two LEDs appear on the front of the amplier. One is labeled
POWER and appears as solid red during initial power up,
ashes green during a boot sequence, and appears solid green
when fully booted.
The STATUS LED uses the following indicators to provide
information about the appliance:
• Flashing red – No network connection found.
• Solid blue – The amplier is in an uninitialized state and is
not associated to a server. (The server may be in a discovery
mode.)
• Solid green – The
amplier is registered to
a Nyquist server and is in
normal operation.
• Flashing green – The
amplier has an IP
address but is not
registered with the
Nyquist server.
• Solid red – The amplier needs to be rebooted or reset so
that the Nyquist application can resume.
• Flashing blue – The amplier is updating.
Clipping, Protection, and Temperature Indicators
In addition to the LEDs that appear on the actual appliance,
separate amplier module signal clipping, protection mode,
and temperature status indicators appear in the Nyquist

amplier’s web-based user interface. For more information
about these status indicators, refer to the Nyquist NQ-A2060,
NQ-A2120 Audio Power Ampliers Conguration Manual.
Using the Reset Button
The Reset button allows you to restart the appliance or to reset
the appliance’s conguration settings to the factory default
settings. For more information about resetting conguration
settings, refer to the Nyquist Audio Power Ampliers
Conguration Manual.
