1. Úvod a konecview
The ESX QUANTUM QS-FOUR is an ultra-compact 4-channel Class D amplifier designed to significantly upgrade your car audio system. This powerful yet miniature 4-channel version measures only 90 x 35 x 80 mm, making it one of the smallest amplifiers in its class. It delivers an impressive 4 x 60 Watts RMS, providing substantial power to factory or aftermarket speakers.
The QS-FOUR features exceptionally low distortion (THD+N < 0.007% at 5W/RMS) and high efficiency (up to 90%), ensuring clear and dynamic sound reproduction. Its compact size allows for flexible installation, often directly behind the dashboard, making it an ideal plug-and-play solution for vehicles. The amplifier's low current draw (5-10 Amps) means it can often utilize existing factory power cables. Additionally, the QS-FOUR includes low-level outputs for connecting active subwoofers or larger monoblock amplifiers, offering expandability for enhanced bass.

5. Nastavení a instalace
5.1 Zapojení kabeláže
Before making any connections, ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected. Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring.
Příkon:
- + 12V: Connect to the positive terminal of the car battery via an inline fuse (not included, but a fuse holder is provided).
- GND: Connect to a solid, unpainted metal point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure a good ground connection.
- REM (dálkové): Connect to the remote output of your head unit. If using high-level inputs with Auto-Turn-On, this connection may not be necessary.
Výstup reproduktoru:
Connect your speakers to the designated terminals. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The ampZařízení Liferier podporuje 4kanálový stereofonní nebo 2kanálový přemostěný provoz.
- FL+/FL-: Přední levý reproduktor
- FR+/FR-: Přední pravý reproduktor
- RL+/RL-: Levý zadní reproduktor
- RR+/RR-: Pravý zadní reproduktor
- Přemostěný režim: For 2-channel operation, connect the positive of the left speaker to FL+ and the negative to FR-. For the right speaker, connect positive to RL+ and negative to RR-. Refer to the manual for specific bridging instructions.
Vstupní připojení:
- Vstup na vysoké úrovni: Use the provided harness to connect to your head unit's speaker outputs. The EPS (Error Protection System) ensures compatibility with various factory systems.
- RCA Line-Out: Use the RCA cables to connect to an active subwoofer or another ampživější.
5.2 Počáteční nastavení
- Level Input (Gain): Start with the gain knobs set to minimum (MIN). Gradually increase the gain until the sound is clear and distortion-free at your desired listening volume. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can introduce distortion.
- X-OVER (křížení):
- PLNÝ: Full range audio (no filter).
- HP (horní propust): Allows frequencies above 80 Hz to pass, typically used for full-range speakers to remove bass.
- LP (dolní propust): Allows frequencies below 80 Hz to pass, typically used for subwoofers (though this amplifier is not primarily for subwoofers, it can be used for mid-bass applications).
- AUTO TURN-ON:
- OFF: Amplifier turns on via the REM wire.
- VOX: Amplifier turns on when an audio signal is detected (signal sensing).
- DC: Amplifier turns on when a DC offset is detected on the high-level inputs (common with factory head units).
6. Návod k obsluze
Once properly installed and configured, the ESX QUANTUM QS-FOUR ampZáchranný systém pracuje automaticky s audiosystémem vašeho vozidla.
- Zapnutí/vypnutí: The amplifier will power on and off with your head unit, depending on the selected AUTO TURN-ON mode (REM, VOX, or DC). The 'POWER' LED on the rear panel will illuminate when the amplifier je aktivní.
- Přehrávání zvuku: Play audio through your head unit as usual. The amplifier will provide enhanced power and clarity to your speakers.
- Nastavení hlasitosti: Control the overall system volume using your head unit. If distortion occurs at high volumes, slightly reduce the ampnastavení zesílení zařízení Liferier.
