GX Series amplifiers are the cat’s meow for performers and musicians who need top performance and portability at a great value. Everything QSC stands for – the best in audio quality, careful engineering, top-grade build quality and extreme longevity – are all ihere in the GZ series. Add fresh styling, a plethora of I/O options, low weight, and highly effective protection circuitry, and the GX Series clearly is the real deal for most every power amp user 



GX amplifiers have the needed power for the most popular speakers used by sound professionals. Typically, loudspeaker makers recommend amplifiers with power output equal to the speaker’s Program (Music) Power rating or two times (2 x) the Continuous (RMS) Power rating.



The GX3 is perfect for most speakers in the 300 watt (Program) range.



Technical Notes


The GX3 uses the latest evolution of the QSC Grounded Collector output system, for optimum cooling of the critical power transistors. A true Class B biasing system combines maximum thermal efficiency with excellent audio performance.



GX Series amplifiers use premium toroidal power transformers for reliable “mid-weight” performance. A variable-speed fan moves air crosswise through the amplifier, drawing cool air in over the power transformer, through the fan, and then over the heat sink. This keeps the transformer cool and allows a full size heat sink to fit in a down-sized chassis.

As always, GX Series amplifiers are fully protected from the usual hazards of the trade, ensuring stable performance and long life.



GuardRail^tm
GuardRail protection delivers full peak power while preventing detrimental overloads. During excessive clipping, or extreme overheating, GuardRail reduces gain just enough to preserve the integrity of the music, protect the speakers and keep the audience excited, without unprofessional distortion levels or shutdowns.



Subwoofer/Satellite Crossover
A subwoofer reduces strain on the full-range speaker, allowing it to play louder, or letting a smaller speaker do the same job. The GX Series supports this mode with a Crossover switch that splits the full-range input entering Ch 1, sending 20 Hz -100 Hz to the sub (Ch 1) and 100 Hz – 20 kHz to the top box (Ch 2). The front panel gain controls balance the sub and top box, while GuardRail optimizes peak power into the sub and top individually, for greater musical impact and dynamic range.
