QSC GX7

2 x 1000w @ 4Ω 2RU, 7.5 kg

When you just need to get on with the job of amplification: minimum fuss, maxium reliability, without the big spend, and lightweight - impossible? We thought so, until QSC released their GX series.

At just 7.5 kg, the GX7 is light enough to cart around - but we're seeing most of these get picked up once, plonked into a fixed installation and left to do their thing. They're loaded up with all the usual protection features you'd expect thesedays from an amplifier: Short circuit, open circuit, thermal, RF protection, and load protected against DC faults. Plenty of connectivity with inputs via 2 x XLR, balanced 1/4" and also RCA. Outputs via Speakon, and you also get binding post and 1/4" speaker out, if you're that way inclined. Should you not require quite this amount of grunt, check out either GX3 or GX5.
