QSC GX5 Entertainer Stereo Power Amplifier – 500W x 2

The QSC GX5 is a powerful, road-ready stereo amplifier designed for professional performers, mobile DJs, and event sound systems. Built with QSC’s renowned engineering, the GX5 delivers clean, consistent audio performance while offering smart protection features and simplified setup for a wide range of speaker systems.

This amplifier is engineered for maximum efficiency using a Class H output circuit derived from QSC’s high-end PL Series. The GX5 delivers up to 700 watts per channel into 4 ohms or 500 watts into 8 ohms, making it ideal for powering 500W program-rated loudspeakers commonly used in live and mobile sound. The Class H technology nearly doubles output efficiency without increasing the amplifier’s weight or size, and a variable-speed cooling system ensures reliability even under extended use.

GuardRail™ protection prevents distortion or shutdown in the event of clipping or overheating by gently reducing gain instead of stopping the show. This makes the GX5 especially dependable for high-energy events or environments where constant output is critical. The integrated subwoofer/satellite crossover switch simplifies the setup of bi-amplified systems by splitting the input signal for dedicated sub and top speaker output, all without needing additional processing hardware.

The amplifier offers a wide range of connectivity including XLR, 1/4" TRS, and RCA phono inputs, with Speakon, 1/4", and binding post outputs, ensuring compatibility with nearly any setup. Its front panel features detented gain controls and LED indicators for power, signal presence, and clip status, giving you full control and real-time feedback during operation.

With a compact 10.1" chassis depth and a total weight of just 12.6 kg, the GX5 is designed for convenient transport and rack integration, while maintaining high power density. It is also UL, CE, RoHS, and WEEE compliant, affirming its reliability and efficiency.

The QSC GX5 is the perfect balance of power, protection, and portability, making it a trusted solution for entertainers and technicians who demand professional-grade performance at a practical price.
