OverView

Specially designed with versatility and ease of use in mind, the Bias Q5 is equally suitable for most bass enclosures, as well as high-power, full-range systems in any configuration.

The flexible, innovative power supply can be used for single phase, bi-phase or three-phase operation from 85 VAC up to 460 VAC without the need for selection. True three-phase power load balancing with power factor correction is possible via the unit, enhancing efficiency without any complex load assignment in the power distribution system. Specialised technologies also minimise carbon footprint and operational costs.

The Bias Q5 provides four fully processable channels and selectable inputs from analogue sources, as well as digital AES3. Channel mixing and routing is enhanced by the integrated, revolutionary, low latency DSP, giving the highest degree of freedom in sound shaping and speaker management.

Full support to 100 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet allow easy integration into any existing infrastructure. In addition, total integration with the Armonia Pro Audio Suite™ enables a new power management experience on smartphones and tablets.
