QSC GX5 Power Amplifier Feature:
- Power levels matched to the most popular speakers used by entertainers.
- Optimized for maximum real-world headroom into 4- and 8-ohm speaker systems.
- Inputs: XLR, 1/4" TRS and phono input connectors for compatibility with any source.
- Outputs: Speakon combo accepts 1/4" (TS) plugs or Speakon 2- and 4-pole plugs (connects 2 poles only). Binding posts support all other speaker wiring systems.
- Minimum depth chassis (10.1" / 257 mm) fits in compact, inexpensive effects racks.
- Detented gain controls for precise setting and matching of sensitivity.
- GuardRail automatically protects the amplifier and loudspeakers from damage due to temperature rise or overdrive without shutting down the show.
- Front panel LEDs monitor power, signal, and clipping.
- Subwoofer/satellite crossover built-in.
