- Description
Details
With PowerLight switch mode power supply, 2500 watts per channel into 4 ohms and super-efficient class D topology, the QSC PL380 Power Amplifier is ideal for live sound production applications.
The PowerLight 3 Series are our "Ultimate Analog" power house amplifiers, designed for the most demanding concert and live-sound reinforcement applications. All three models (PL380, PL340 and the PL325) feature the ground breaking PowerLight™ power supply technology, dramatically reducing weight, eliminating AC mains hum and improving audio quality. Comprehensive remote control and monitoring can also be achieved via the Q-SYS networked platform.
