215PCM System Specification
Description 215 PCM: Comprised of the 215SB Subwoofer Cabinet with a “backpack” containing two QSC
DSP-3 24-bit Signal Processors, 1 ruggedized QSC PL230 3000 Watt amplifier and 1 ruggedized QSC
PL236 3600 Watt amplifier. All interconnections for the audio signals and AC power are complete inside
the backpack. Apply AC power, program the Signal Processors, connect the audio inputs, and plug in
the Top Box speakers.
NOTE!- Regular production PL230 and 236 amplifiers are not recommended replacements for the
amplifiers in your 215PCM.
On-board Power Subwoofer: One ruggedized QSC PL230 amplifier in bridge mode, 3000 Watts at 4 ohms
Top Boxes: One ruggedized QSC PL236 amplifier, 2-Ch.’s, 1300 Watts per Ch. at 4 ohms/Ch.
On-board Processing Two QSC DSP-3 24-bit, 48 kHz Digital Signal Processors. (One Processor per amplifier)
Connectors AC Power- NEMA L5-30 receptacle
CH1/CH2 Input- female XLR, Input 3 (Mono)- female XLR. See Processor spec., p.37, for impedances
Parallel Out (Mono)- male XLR wire directly in parallel with Input 3 connector
Output to Top Boxes- two Speakon NL4MP receptacles.
CH1 wired for 4-wire biamp use
CH2 wired for 2-wire normal use
Both Processors feature :
Post-Processor audio outs (3-wire, detachable terminal block connectors), one for each channel.
RS-232 port for Processor Configuration using PC/laptop and QSC Signal Manager software.
DataPort ties to QSControl systems to support network Processor configuration.
Controls AC Power switch and MODE switch (Combination Mode/Discrete Mode)
Operating Modes Combination Mode- Use only CH1 and CH2 Inputs. Inputs are wired to both the Subwoofer Processor
and the Top Box Processor inputs. Refer to the block diagram for detailed information.
Discrete Mode- Use all three inputs. Top Box Processor inputs are from CH1 and CH2 Input connectors
Subwoofer Processor input is from Input 3 connector. Input is connected ONLY to Processor Input 1.
Signal Routing Signal Routing is dependant on MODE Switch position and Processor configuration. Refer to the block
diagram for detailed information.
