QSC GX5 500-Watt Power Amplifier: Power, Precision, and Portability

The QSC GX5 500-Watt Power Amplifier is the ideal solution for entertainers, musicians, and professionals seeking a reliable and powerful amplifier in a compact and portable design. With 500 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 700 watts at 4 ohms, the GX5 is capable of driving even the most demanding loudspeakers and subwoofers, making it a perfect match for most professional sound systems.

Class H Design for Maximum Efficiency

The QSC GX5 uses a Class H system, which ensures efficiency without sacrificing sound quality. Based on key elements from QSC’s flagship PL Series, this amplifier doubles the power output while maintaining the same size and weight. The output devices transition between low-power and high-power rails in a fraction of a second, ensuring the correct power delivery at all times without any unnecessary losses.

GuardRail Protection for Safe, Reliable Performance

One of the standout features of the GX5 is the GuardRail protection system, which automatically limits the gain during extreme conditions to protect both your amplifier and speakers. Whether you’re pushing the limits with peak power or encountering high temperatures or overdrive, GuardRail ensures that your equipment is safe from damage. You can count on the GX5 to deliver full power without distortion or shutdown, even in demanding situations.

Subwoofer and Satellite Crossover for Better Sound Control

To optimize your audio setup, the QSC GX5 features a built-in subwoofer/satellite crossover. This allows you to separate the frequency ranges, sending low-end signals (20 Hz – 100 Hz) to the subwoofer and high-end signals (100 Hz – 20 kHz) to the top box. This crossover, combined with the GuardRail protection system, ensures that both the subwoofer and the top box perform optimally, delivering dynamic range and punchy bass without strain.

Perfect for Popular Speaker Systems

The GX5 provides the perfect amount of power for most loudspeakers, with its 700 watts at 4 ohms making it a great match for popular dual-woofer, two-way loudspeakers and subwoofers. This allows entertainers and performers to rely on a single amplifier to handle their 4-ohm and 8-ohm speaker systems, delivering the performance they need, whether for live performances, events, or studio use.

Versatile Connectivity and Easy Setup

With multiple input options, including XLR, 1/4-inch balanced, and phono inputs, the QSC GX5 is compatible with almost any sound source. The amplifier also features Speakon and 1/4-inch (TS) combo outputs, allowing for versatile speaker connections. Additionally, the detented gain controls make it easy to adjust and match the sensitivity of your system, ensuring precise settings.
