QSC PLX 3402 Power Amps Review

Posted on August 4, 2009December 4, 2015 by admin

QSC has been a leading name in the professional sound industry for decades, maintaining a competitive edge by staying a step ahead of the competition through innovation. QSC PLX 3402 Power Amplifiers maintain this tradition, and take it to a new level by providing a synergy of raw power, light weight, and environmental consciousness that has never been available before.

The dual channel PLX 3402 boasts the highest maximum power output across QSC's PLX range: up to 3400 watts in bridged monaural mode and 1700 watts per channel in stereo mode when 2 ohm speakers are driven. The full stereo operation makes it as appropriate for DJs as it is for instrumentalists, and each channel is capable of independent filtering for subsonic frequencies at either 30 Hz or 50 Hz (filters can also be disabled completely). These filters help to protect loudspeakers that may not be able to handle low bass, and allow for a tone that can easily be tailored to the musician's liking.

Bands and roadies alike hate to pack up and move power amplifiers after a concert. It is common for power amps to weigh as much as 65 pounds, eventually leading to strain and injury. The PLX 3402 weighs just 21 pounds, thanks to the inclusion of QSC's trademarked PowerLight technology. This unique technology has allowed QSC to greatly reduce the weight of the power supplies in its amplifier range, also resulting in less heat being given off, and power consumption that is as much as 40% less than competing products.

In spite of this light-weight design, however, the PLX 3402 is built to last. An internal cooling fan helps to ensure that the amplifier will always run within the correct operating temperature ranges, and several levels of fault protection are in place to help ensure that the unit will not be damaged in the event of electrical overload. Additionally, the PLX 3402 includes an automatic clip limiting feature, which can be turned on or off at the user's discretion. When enabled, this clip limiting technology will quickly reduce the amplifier's internal volume if the input levels are set too high, preventing distortion and permanent speaker damage.

In the field of professional stage amplification, QSC PLX 3402 Power Amplifiers represent a superlative value for the money spent. They can provide all of the volume necessary for nearly any indoor or outdoor concert setting, and have the customization options that discerning musicians demand. For any musician, DJ, or front of house engineer, the QSC PLX 3402 is a top buy.

QSC PLX 3402 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Produces up to 3400 watts in bridged monaural operation or 1700 watts per channel in stereo mode
* High level of customization options; low pass filters can be enabled to protect speakers that can not handle subsonic frequencies
* One of the lightest power amplifiers in the industry; provides up to 40% savings in electrical costs over competing amps
* Three year warranty, upgradable to six years after purchase
