QSC GX5 Stereo Power Amplifier
Maximum performance and portability with very flexible I/O.
The QSC GX5 stereo power amplifier provides 700W of power in an efficient, rackmountable design. Perfect for entertainers and presenters who require maximum performance and portability, the GX5 power amp utilizes QSC's Class H amplifier technology to produce high power output from a compact, lightweight 1U chassis.
700W for Impressive Volume and Headroom
With 700W of power per channel into 4 ohms, the GX5 drives professional loudspeakers to provide impressive volume and dynamics for live performances and presentations. The high power output offers substantial headroom to reproduce transient peaks without distortion for a clean, articulate sound.
Class-H Amplifier Design for Efficient Power
QSC's Class-H amplifier design allows the GX5 to generate high power output from a space-efficient 1U rackmount chassis. Class-H operation dynamically switches the amplifier's power supply rails to continuously optimize efficiency at the amplifier's current operating level. This significantly reduces power consumption and heat generation compared to conventional amplifiers.
Rackmountable 1U Chassis for Professional Installations
The GX5 Stereo Power Amplifier is housed in a durable 1U rackmount chassis for simplified installation in professional AV racks. Rear-mounted input, output and power connections provide convenient access to all cabling. Thermal efficiency allows multiple GX5 amplifiers to be mounted adjacent to each other in equipment racks with no risk of overheating.
