QSC SPA2-60 – 2-Channel 60W EnergyStar Commercial Power Amplifier

Product Overview

The QSC SPA2-60 is a two-channel commercial power amplifier delivering 60 watts per channel, built for small distributed audio zones where rack space is limited and fan noise is unacceptable. Its convection-cooled, fanless half-rack 1U chassis fits behind displays, under tables, or paired in a single rack space. Each channel supports Low-Z (4 Ω/8 Ω) and 70 V/100 V distributed loads, and the outputs can be bridged for higher power. ENERGY STAR qualified, the SPA2-60 accepts standard analog line input from a zone mixer or DSP.

Product Description

The SPA Series uses an advanced Class-D design with a universal switchmode power supply, efficient enough to run without active cooling. ENERGY STAR auto-ramp circuitry provides quiet startup from standby and a seamless power-down after 25 minutes of inactivity, reducing operating cost. The SPA2-60 delivers 60 watts per channel into 4 Ω and 8 Ω; bridging the outputs provides up to 200 watts into low impedance and up to 250 watts into 70 V or 100 V, with an 80 Hz high-pass filter available in bridged distributed modes. Channel controls select 4 Ω/8 Ω or 70 V/100 V operation, and rms and thermal limiting plus over-current and short-circuit protection allow confident deployment. The included mounting kit supports 1RU rack mounting alone or paired, plus under-table and wall mounting, and an optional Plenum Kit allows plenum installation. For four zones, see the SPA4-60; for higher power, see the SPA2-200.

Key Features

• Two channels at 60 W — 60 watts per channel into 4 Ω and 8 Ω for small distributed zones.
• Low-Z and 70V/100V support — Per-channel selection of low-impedance or distributed operation.
• Bridgeable outputs — Up to 200 W into low impedance and 250 W into 70V/100V when bridged.
• ENERGY STAR, convection-cooled — Efficient Class-D design runs fanless with no mechanical noise.
• Auto-ramp standby — Quiet startup and seamless power-down after 25 minutes of inactivity.
• Comprehensive protection — RMS and thermal limiting plus over-current and short-circuit protection.
• Flexible mounting — Half-rack 1U chassis for rack, under-table, wall, or (with kit) plenum installation.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — Quiet, fanless amplification for in-room program audio.
• Huddle room — Compact two-zone amplification behind a display.
• Commercial meeting space — Background music and paging for smaller areas.
• Multi-purpose room — Mixed low-impedance and distributed speaker drive.
• Training room — Energy-efficient amplification in tight spaces.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SPA2-60 a Q-SYS amplifier?
No. It is a non-networked amplifier that accepts standard analog line-level input from a zone mixer or DSP.

Does it need active cooling?
No. Its efficient Class-D design is convection cooled and fanless, eliminating fan noise.

Can the outputs be bridged?
Yes. Bridging the two channels delivers up to 200 W into low impedance and up to 250 W into 70 V or 100 V.

Where does it physically mount?
The included kit supports 1RU rack mounting (alone or paired), under-table, and wall mounting; an optional Plenum Kit allows plenum installation.
