PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Quest Engineering QX-41500 is a 4 channel 2RU power amplier suited for any application requiring
superior performance and reliability. Ideal for multiple zone applications providing commercial sound
installations with clean and reliable power. The QX-41500 provides 1500 watts per channel of operation
into 4 and 8 ohm loads, delivering full channel power to either low- or high-impedance loads. High and
Low pass lters, limiters and standby are available per channel with fast 1ms wake up time. For high end
commercial, AV or domestic applications, the QX range of ampliers provide superior class D performance
with proven reliability without compromise.

QX-41500 USER MANUAL | 03QUESTAUDIO.NET
•Do not expose the unit to any moisture
whether rain, water, or other liquids. Exposure
to moisture could result in damage to internal
components or electrocution\circuit failure.
•Do not cut, kink, or otherwise damage or
modify speaker cable. Ensure a speaker cable
with a core diameter of at least 2.5mm2 is used
for specied performance.
•Do not install or place speaker cables or
this device near heaters, high trac areas
or any area where the cables or device can
be damaged.
•Avoid installing or mounting speaker
boxes, ampliers, electronics or cabling
in unstable locations.
•In the event of storms and/or lightning, ensure
all devices are disconnected from mains power
in order to prevent damage to any of the units
in the system.
•When cleaning the unit, ensure it has been
disconnected from any power source and that
only a dry cloth is used. Do not use any aerosol
or liquid-based cleaners.
•Ensure all electronics are electronically
grounded (earthed) to a safety ground
terminal in order to avoid electric shock.
Do not ground any device to a gas pipe as
this may result in re.
•Servicing of all electronics should only be
carried out by a certied Quest technician.
Please consult your original place of purchase
to nd the location of your nearest Quest
service centre.
•When installing ampliers and/or other
electronics only use the hardware specically
designed for this product.

BASIC OPERATION GUIDELINES
Due to the advanced power saving feature of the QX-41500, the amplier has been designed to power
from the mains with no additional switch. The amplier has a removable grille on the front panel. The
grille is held in place magnetically and can easily be removed without tools to access controls to engage
a number of modes which are described in the next section. High Pass and Low Pass lters can also be
activated to provide basic frequency dividing functions, these are most commonly used in a system with
sub-woofers.
To avoid harm to connected speakers it is important to not clip the amplier for extended period of times.
Clipping occurs when the input signal is excessive and overloads the input or output of the amplier.
To avoid clipping reduce the level of the input. The amplier has a selectable limit option which can be
engaged to help avoid clipping and it is recommended that this mode is used if the potential exists for
extended periods of clipping.
The amplier has a protection circuit which activates when a fault condition exists. The LED will stay
illuminated until the fault is resolved. The protection circuit activates to help prevent damage to the
amplier and connected speakers. Common causes can be shorted wiring or faulty speakers. If the
Protect light illuminates disconnect the amp from power and then disconnect the speakers. Reconnect
the amp to mains and check the status of the protect LED, if the LED has not turned back on then check
the speakers and cabling for faults.
The QX-41500 is not designed to run Bridge mode, it is capable of running high or low impedance loads
on each individual channel. If Bridge mode is required another model from the Quest Engineering range
should be selected.

OPERATION MODES
Active Mode is indicated by a Blue LED, the amplier is connected to power and ready to pass signal.
Mute mode puts the amp into a “light sleep” and occurs when the Standby option has been selected and no signal has been
detected for 10mins, if the amplier detects signal it will wake within 1ms. When no signal has been detected for 25 mins full sleep
mode will activate.
The Orange LED’s indicates the amplier is in Standby, a power saving mode. This mode can be enabled by toggling the under
panel A-STBY switch from O to On. In this mode if no signal is detected for 25 mins the amplier will “sleep” and wake within
660ms of detection of signal.
