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.

Features

Features

  • PowerLight switchmode power supply for highest efficiency and improved audio performance
  • Flow-thru air path and solid aluminum heat sinks for maximum cooling
  • DataPort supports remote computer control and/or external DSP-4 modules
  • Detented gain controls with 1 dB steps for precise calibration
  • Removable knobs with lock-out security plate to prevent unauthorized tampering
  • User defeatable clip limiters and selectable low-frequency filter per channel (3 Hz, 30 Hz, or 50 Hz)
  • Three selectable input gains (26 dB, 32 dB, or 1.2 V)
  • Front and rear panel LEDs indicate status of switch settings at a glance
  • Parallel Dataport, XLR/M and XLR/F connectors for simple loop-through connectivity
  • Neutrik Speakon and "Touch Proof" binding post outputs
  • Neutrik Powercon power cable remains secure on the road
  • Class D output circuit re-doubles the output power with even lower losses
