The Bias Q5 is a 4-channel amplifier in a 1 RU format, designed to deliver extreme power, maximum routing flexibility, and advanced digital signal management, all in a compact and integration-ready form factor. With a maximum output of 5200 W per channel at 2 Ω (up to 10400 W bridged at 4 Ω), it’s the ideal solution for high-power full-range systems and subwoofers in live, touring, fixed installations, theatres, and festivals.

Thanks to its analog and AES3 digital inputs on each channel and the ability to set automatic signal backup policies, the Q5 ensures operational continuity even in case of input failure. The high-grade integrated DSP, fully managed via Armonía Pro Audio Suite™, enables comprehensive processing including FIR/IIR EQ, raised-cosine filters, multiple limiters (peak, RMS voltage/current, TruePower™), advanced delay and signal loss compensation over speaker cables using Active DampingControl™.

The power supply has been completely redesigned to guarantee stability, efficiency, and reliability, operating across voltages from 90 to 264 V, and supports single-phase, bi-phase, and three-phase configurations. With WiFi remote monitoring, full protection circuitry, and a comprehensive user interface, the Bias Q5 is a benchmark choice for professionals who demand maximum performance, safety, and control in every scenario.

Void Acoustics: Amplifier Firmware Upgrade

Highlights

Maximum power and control in 1 RU: up to 20,000 W total output with advanced DSP, automatic signal backup and full connectivity

Thanks to an optimized internal design and next-generation electronics, the Bias Q5 delivers up to 20,000 W of total power, while ensuring stability, precision, and safety, even under extreme load conditions. Its high-dynamic range DSP, combined with flexible routing, multiple limiter types, preset optimization, and automatic signal backup, provides full system control in any application. All of this is packed into just 44 mm of rack height, with complete analog and digital connectivity, WiFi remote access, and full integration with the Armonía platform. Extreme power, digital intelligence, and compactness – all in one module.

Compact 1 RU design with continuous power up to 5200 W per channel at 2 Ω, perfect for high-end full-range and subwoofer systems

Despite its compact size of just one rack unit (1 RU), the Bias Q5 is capable of delivering up to 5200 W per channel into 2 Ω loads, an extraordinary power output that places it among the top performers in its class. This power density makes it ideal for driving large-format subwoofers and high-efficiency full-range loudspeakers, even in demanding applications such as touring, festivals, and large-scale events. The ability to deliver high current and stable output voltage enables the Q5 to maintain sound quality under the most challenging load conditions, ensuring consistent headroom, dynamics, and reliability.
