These new GX Series amplifiers are taking aim at the needs of musicians, DJs, and performers of all description, says the company. At 8 ohms, the GX3 and GX5 are rated at 300 and 500W respectively, offering the continuous power capacity needed for a majority of common passive loudspeakers in use today.
Both GX amplifiers are equipped with all the input and output connectors needed for compatibility with virtually any source, loudspeaker, or wiring scheme. The lightweight design of the amps combines with the compact size to make either model easy to move or mount within small, portable racks. Both the GX3 and GX5 feature straightforward user-selectable functions accessed via simple front-panel controls.
At the heart of the GX Series lie linear toroidal power supplies similar to those used in QSC's popular RMX line of amplifiers. The two-tier Class H design of the GX5 approximately doubles the power of the GX3 using the same size transformers and heat sinks. Smaller size, lighter weight, and more efficient use of electricity follow, along with more accurate peak performance on a short term basis with reduced loss and less distortion.
