The Biamp Cambridge Qt X 800 is an all - in - one sound masking solution. It serves as a generator, controller, third - octave band equalizer, and amplifier. With two auxiliary audio inputs, it can distribute audio from paging controllers and background music players. It can handle both direct - field and indirect (in - plenum) speaker installations, or a combination of both. Each of the eight amplified outputs can be independently adjusted for masking and auxiliary audio levels and spectra. This model is fully compatible with Biamp’s SageVue system management software and can be part of larger Qt X systems. When multiple controllers are in a single system, audio input can be shared via AVB or Dante (800/D). Key features include compatibility with DynasoundPro devices, support for up to eight zones, dual audio inputs, integration with fire alarm systems, an LCD front panel, software - controlled panel lock, auto - ramping, event scheduling, adjustable equalizer, eight non - correlated sound masking sources, PoE power with optional 48V dc input, built - in clock with NTP support, multiple mounting options, dual network ports, third - party control API, and it meets various safety and compliance standards with a five - year warranty and is made in the USA.
Using the Biamp Cambridge Qt X 800 is quite straightforward. First, decide on the installation type - whether it's direct - field, in - plenum, or a mix. Connect your speakers to the eight amplified outputs. You can then adjust each output's masking and auxiliary audio levels and spectra according to your needs. For audio input, use the two auxiliary ports to connect paging controllers or background music players. When using multiple Qt X controllers in a system, they can share audio input via AVB or Dante. Regarding the front panel, the LCD display shows important information, and you can lock it via software control. For safety, the contact closure allows integration with fire alarm systems. As for maintenance, keep the device clean and free from dust. Check the power supply regularly, whether it's PoE or the optional 48V dc input. The built - in clock with NTP support ensures accurate timekeeping for event scheduling. Make sure to follow all safety and compliance standards during installation and use to keep the five - year warranty valid.
