Overview

Maximum performance at a modest price, plus flexible I/O.

The GX3 stereo power amplifier from QSC offers everything performers need to electrify their live shows with 300W per channel of power, while remaining light enough to transport between gigs. Optimized for speakers in the 300W range, the GX3 effortlessly drives 4 ohm and 8 ohm loads for full, rich sound.

Advanced Cooling System Keeps Things Running Smoothly

The GX3 utilizes QSC's acclaimed Grounded Collector output system to keep internal components operating at peak efficiency, even under demanding conditions. By effectively dissipating heat, the GX3 avoids performance issues that often plague lesser amplifiers. You'll enjoy consistent, uncompromised sound for the duration of your show.

Intuitive Controls Make Adjustments a Breeze

With its straightforward front panel layout, the GX3 amplifier is easy to set up and adjust on the fly. Turn the level knobs to quickly balance left and right channels, while the power switch and LED indicator provide an obvious visual reference for on/off status. For many performers, the GX3's minimal complexity is a major benefit, allowing you to focus on your performance rather than fussing with finicky controls.

Road-Ready Ruggedness

From the durable steel chassis to the reinforced corners, the GX3 is built to withstand the rigors of live performance and frequent transport between venues. It will provide years of reliable service, giving you peace of mind that it can handle whatever your schedule demands. The included mounting ears make rack installation quick and secure.

Unmatched Value

For professional entertainers seeking maximum power and portability on a budget, the GX3 stereo power amplifier offers unparalleled performance per dollar. With QSC's signature sound quality and build, it's an ideal choice for taking your show to the next level without breaking the bank.
