QSC PLX-1602 Power Amplifier

QSC PLX-1602 Power Amplifier
A line of amplifiers that defines high impact. Housed in a 2 rack-unit chassis that's only 13" deep and 21 lbs. QSC included their exclusive PowerWave™ Technology used in the award-winning PowerLight™ Series for chest-pounding bass and crystal-clear highs. It also features hum-free noise floor and ultra-low distortion of .03% THD. To keep PLX running under the most demanding conditions, they've even added an Advanced Thermal Management System. PLXs offer the reliability of a company that's been building professional amplifiers for over 30 years.

Highlights

• Exclusive PowerWave power supply for superior bass and lighter weight
• Ultra-low distortion (0.03% THD at 8 ohms) & studio-quality noise floor (-107 dB)
• LED indicators include bridge mono and parallel input modes
• Compact 2 RU, 21 lbs. and 13" deep chassis fits into any rack
• Class H output reduces AC power draw and heat by 40% (2402, 3002, & 3402)
• Selectable clip limiters and subsonic filters reduce distortion and protect speakers
• Variable-speed fan for low noise and solid 2 ohm performance
• Both 1/4" TRS & XLR inputs, Speakon and shock-proof binding post outputs
• 3-year warranty plus optional 3-year extension available
