The QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier delivers maximum performance for professional entertainers seeking an affordable, lightweight solution. QSC engineers optimized the GX3’s power and appearance while reducing cost and weight, creating an amplifier ideal for speakers around 300W. With outputs optimized for popular 4 and 8-ohm loads, the rackmountable GX3 provides maximum headroom and power.
Flexible, Entertainer-Friendly Inputs and Outputs
The GX3’s XLR, 1/4″ TRS, and phono inputs ensure compatibility with any source. Speakon combo jacks accept 1/4″ TS plugs or 2 or 4-pole Speakon plugs, connecting two poles only. Binding posts support other wiring systems.
Cooling System Provides Efficient, Reliable Performance
QSC’s grounded collector output and true Class-B biasing maximize the GX3’s thermal efficiency and audio quality. Detented gain controls allow precise sensitivity adjustment and matching.
Safeguard Your Investment with GuardRail Protection
QSC’s GuardRail technology protects the amplifier and speakers from damage due to overheating or overdriving without interrupting your performance. Front-panel LEDs monitor power, signal, and clipping to give you full control over your sound.
Flexible Crossover and Compact Design
A built-in subwoofer/satellite crossover provides flexibility, while the GX3’s 10.1″ depth fits in standard racks. Lightweight and compact, the GX3 delivers professional quality you can take anywhere.
