The QSC PLX3102 Professional Power Amplifier with Powerlight Technology is a premium quality, highpower amplifiers designed for the most demanding live performance uses. Built on the third generation of QSC PowerLight technology, PLX3102 amplifier combines lightweight, superlative audio quality and proven QSC reliability. With power output up to 3600 watts, amplifier is capable of providing ample clean, undistorted output to the most power hungry speaker systems. PowerLight switchmode technology replaces a large, heavy AC transformer (typically 20 lb/9 kg) with a highly efficient and lighter weight active design. Conventional AC transformers provide 100 or 120 energy pulses per second, the PowerLight supply delivers 190, 000 to 230, 000 pulses per second. More pulses make it easier to provide on-demand power for the amplifier's output section. The power supply doesn't "sag" so bass notes stay full and powerful while the high end remains crisp and clean.
PLX3102 amplifier have the refined but rugged good looks of professional power tools and high power machinery. A solid, cast-aluminum front panel adds style to any rack while acting as an integral I-beam, rigidly tying the chassis together for years of on-the-road reliability. The PLX2 Series now includes two approaches to meet a wider range of needs and budgets. The fully featured "02" model drive 2Ohms load and add subwoofer processing and convenient rear-panel signal processing control switches to the origin al, still unmatched PLX platform.
Very lightweight
Cooling design exhausts hot air out the front, keeping the rack cool. Flow-through heat sinks require no filters that could become clogged
Front panel LED power, clip, -10 dB and signal present indicators for system monitoring and troubleshooting.
Speakon NL-4 output connectors provide a positive-locking speaker connection. Ch 1 output uses all 4 wires for single-cable connection to bi-amplified speakers
21-position front-panel gain controls for precise, repeatable amplifier adjustment
Balanced XLR inputs with parallel TRS connectors accommodate all common input connectors and support loop-through operation
Speakon NL4 and binding post outputs
100 Hz high-pass and low-pass filters for bi-amping subwoofer and satellite systems without the need for an external crossover
Switchable/defeatable 33 Hz infrasonic filters protect woofers from over-excursion damage
Switchable/defeatable clip limiters
Four models with power ratings up to 1800 watts/channel at 2Ohms, 3600 watts bridged at 4Ohms.
