The QSC DAB-801 is a DataPort Amplifier Backup panel for Q-SYS and QSC DataPort amplifier systems, engineered for life-safety, evacuation and other mission-critical installations that cannot tolerate a single amplifier failure. It provides N+1 amplifier redundancy with automatic failover between primary amplifiers and a shared backup, plus emergency-paging functionality. It is an infrastructure/backup panel rather than an amplifier or standalone processor.
Key Features
- N+1 amplifier redundancy with automatic failover
- Supports four 2-channel primaries + one 2-channel backup, or two 4-channel primaries + one 4-channel backup
- Two units can be cascaded to double capacity
- QSC DataPort (HD-15) connectors and high-current speaker terminal blocks
- GPIO (DB-15) and DB-37 control extension bus
- Works with 100V transformer-isolated or direct speaker connections
