INPUTS-

DATAPORT V2

The ISA series of amplifiers come with a DataPort V2 connector
that may be used for connecting to accessory QSC DataPort
devices. The V2 (or version 2) DataPort does not have the full
capability of the standard DataPort. The DataPort V2 must be
connected to a QSC DataPort product with a QSC DataPort cable;
similar looking computer data cables will not work and could
damage your QSC equipment. The DataPort V2 connection will
supply the input signals to the amplifier. If using the DataPort V2
connection, do not apply inputs to the XLR or terminal block
connectors.

If the ISA amplifier is being used in a system monitored through
a QSC cinema monitor (or other QSC DataPort product) the
following amplifier information will be provided by the amplifier
DataPort V2:

CH1 and CH2 output voltage
Amplifier AC power status (on or off)

If using the DataPort V2 connection, do not connect any inputs to the XLR or terminal
block connectors. The unused XLR or terminal block inputs may be used for daisy
chaining the DataPort V2 input signal to other amplifiers. The signal level available from
the unused inputs will be about 10 dB lower than the signal applied at the DataPort V2
connector.

How to Connect to the DataPort V2:

Basic Operation Notes:

1- The amplifier Gain controls will need to be set at their anticipated high-level setting. Use reduced level
setting during setup & test.

2- Control of the audio level will be accomplished with the DataPort accessory device to which the amp is
connected.

3- No control of the amplifier’s AC power will be possible via the DataPort V2. Use the amplifier’s POWER
switch to turn the amp on and off.

4- See page 32 for additional DataPort V2 Application information.

If it is an accessory that mounts directly to the rear of the amplifier, orient the accessory correctly
and attach to the amplifier per the accessory’s instructions.

If the accessory attaches with a QSC DataPort cable, orient the HD-15 male plug correctly with
the DataPort V2 socket on the amplifier (it is “D” shaped and will fit only one way). Push the plug onto
the socket firmly and ensure it is seated properly. Finger-tighten the 2 retaining screws. Do not over-
tighten.
