This QSC PL380 2-Channels Power Amplifier is comprised of our “Ultimate Analog” power house amplifier, designed for the most demanding concert and live-sound reinforcement applications. The PL380 features 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.
QSC PL380 2-Channels Power Amplifier Features:
- PowerLight switch-mode power supply for highest efficiency and improved audio performance
- Flow-through air path and solid aluminum heat sinks for maximum cooling
- DataPort supports remote network control and monitoring via Q-SYS
- 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 gain structures (26 dB, 32 dB, or 1.2 V)
- Front and rear panel LEDs indicate status of switch settings at a glance
- Parallel 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
- 3 year warranty
- Linear Class H output circuit offer double the typical efficiency of Class B, reducing AC current consumption and cooling requirements
