GX Series Amps by QSC

QSC Amplifiers have been up amongst the favourites at Factory Sound since 'the mid 90s' and still they keep coming up with the goods. The latest range - GX series - is designed for middle-of-the-road power requirements, delivering it nicely at an entry-level price.

There are three models in the range, something for everyone requiring 'a good amount' of power for their speaker system. They're all happy to run at either 2 x 8ohm loads, or 2 x 4ohm loads.

When we first got a bunch of these amps into stock, we imagined that they would be most suited to portable sound systems - the travelling PA for DJs and bands with passive speakers who simply want consistent and reliable sound with a nice punch. However, the GX series has quickly proven to be a winner for installers needing to source amplifiers for their project / venue.

Snapshot of the three models...

GX3: 2 x 300w @ 8 ohm / 2 x 425w @ 4 ohm / 12.1 kg
GX5: 2 x 500w @ 8ohm / 2 x 700w @ 4ohm / 12.6 kg
GX7: 2 x 725w @ 8ohm / 2 x 1000w @ 4ohm / 7.5 kg

They're all nice and compact at just 257mm depth, and the front panel LED indicators show power, input and clipping, plus you've got a couple of gain control knobs also on the front (21 detented steps). On the back is your switch of fullrange / crossover (set at 100Hz), plus all the inputs and outputs you'd ever need.

AND there's loads of on-board protection to make sure you cook neither your shiny new GX series amplifier, nor the speakers you're hooking up to. GX is setting a new standard for affordable amplifiers. Nice work QSC - as we expect.
