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.

Seems our last few posts have been 'new this' and 'new that' - all for the studio world though. But seeing as the sun is finally shining on our festival and gig-a-rama season, here's a few nice new releases to get it going on.
If you're looking for some serious flexibility do help with a large variety of gigs, you're probably already across the HK Audio Elements range.
But in this case, we're interested in a simple 'stick-it-up-on-a-pole' solution that is a little bit of one size fits all, and a little bit of "shove a sub under here to really get this place pumping". So here's a couple of ripper new series: one from RCF, another from QSC.
If you're simply after a high performing powered PA speaker option, the newly arrived RCF ART4 series is both lightweight and powerful. We've still got ART3 series in stock, and ART7 series, but this new ART4 range is very nice indeed. Ready for you to audition in our demo room at any time.
Should you have more a powerful wooden box inclination, the new KW Series from QSC could be just the ticket. They've already proven to be well-received, with a nice big stack moving in and out of the speaker room before we could even stick them up on our website! KEY FEATURES of the KW Series include 15mm birch ply cabinet, 1000w worth of digital power, and a great sound thanks to quality components and well-chosen voicing.
And no, KW Series does not replace the tight, compact and powerful K-Series. It's a step up the sound reinforcement ladder. If it's time for you to either upgrade your speaker system, or perhaps you're dipping your toe into the waters for the first time, now is an excellent time to come and talk deals. You know we'll get it sorted proper for you - pricing is the easy bit here, we make sure you get looked after.
