Peavey PV2600 Power Amps Review

The PV2600 is able to accept stereo or mono inputs, making it suitable for use by DJs as well as bands, and due to its very high output capacity is able to fill medium to large concert halls with the clean, uncolored sound that Peavey users have loved for decades. The unit is also built to last. With its heavy metal construction and extensive circuitry for cooling and protection, the PV2600 is able to survive the high range of abuses that can occur with equipment that is used by touring acts.

Like the other products across the PV power amplifier range, the PV2600 utilizes DDT to protect both its internal components, and any attached speakers in the event of an input overload. DDT, otherwise known as Distortion Detection Technique, utilizes specialized circuitry in order to detect when sound is coming into the amplifier at too high a volume. An LED on the front of the unit lights up to notify the owner that a volume change needs to be made, and the PV2600’s internal volume is automatically lowered to prevent the speakers from being destroyed. The PV2600 also utilizes an internal cooling fan and heat sink to ensure that the unit will remain cool under hot stage lighting.

Legendary amplification company Peavey, founded in 1965, broke new ground with its introduction of the PV series of power amplifiers by including features normally included only in far more expensive equipment, in a package that was nearly as powerful, and far less expensive, than the flagship CS and GPS power amplifiers. Peavey PV2600 power amplifiers are the top product in the PV series, which also includes the PV900 and PV1500 amplifiers, along with the PV1600 and PV3800 bi-amp and tri-amp products. The PV2600 is able to output at a maximum of 1800 watts in bridged monaural mode, or in dual channel mode, at up to 900 watts using 4 ohm speakers or 550 watts at 8 ohms.

While the PV2600 provides excellent sound quality and amplification for medium and large venues, smaller locations could be easily overpowered by it. Bands that are still on the club circuit may be happier with the lower cost options in the PV amplifier range such as the PV900 or PV1500. Likewise, the PV2600 may not provide quite enough power for very large or outdoor concert venues. Bands that are performing in large venues would do well to consider the Peavey GPS3500, which has proven itself as the ideal amplifier for the largest concert halls.

Peavey PV2600 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
• Rated for up to 1800 watts of output power in bridged mono operation
• Heavy construction and numerous protective features ensure that equipment will not be damaged by issues with power or input levels
• Stereo and mono operation lend the versatility necessary for band members or for DJs
• Ideal for medium to large venues; bands playing in clubs or at very large outdoor venues might be better served by other Peavey Power Amplifiers

QSC RMX 2450 Power Amps Review

QSC RMX 2450 Power Amp When it comes to live sound, performing musicians demand two things: tonal accuracy and volume. QSC RMX 2450 Power Amplifiers are a low cost solution for professional stage amplification, providing top quality sound in a surprisingly small and affordable package. The QSC RMX 2450 is capable of operating in both monaural and stereo modes, making it suitable for use as a stage amplifier for instrumentalists, vocalists, DJs, or front of house systems.

The maximum rated power output of the RMX 2450 is 2400 watts when operating in bridged mono mode, or up to 1200 watts per channel when driving a pair of 2 ohm stereo speakers. It is equally capable of driving 4 and 8 ohm speakers, with an output of 750 and 500 watts, respectively. It provides a tonal response that is nearly flat across the entire frequency range, lending the accuracy that musicians demand out of their equipment. Some musicians may wish to use speakers that are unable to safely reproduce subsonic bass frequencies, however. For these musicians, the RMX 2450 features user selectable 30 Hz and 50 Hz bass roll-off filters. It has an independent roll-off filter for each channel, making it possible for the RMX 2450 to drive a main speaker on one channel, and a subwoofer on the other.

In addition to having some of the best sound quality available, the RMX 2450 is equipped with several safety features that help to ensure continued proper operation of the unit for many years. These safety features include automatic clipping detection, usually found on much more expensive amps. With clipping detection enabled, the RMX 2450 automatically senses when the input load is too high and may potentially cause a blown speaker, reducing the internal volume of the amp to prevent damage. This feature may also be disabled if desired. Along with clipping detection, the RMX 2450 has internal fault protection circuitry to prevent any components from being damaged by a sagging or spiking power supply. These features are combined with an internal heat sink and fan combo, designed to help the unit remain within the proper operating temperature range even under the harshest stage lights.

Any touring act would do well to have QSC RMX 2450 Power Amplifiers in its arsenal. The RMX 2450 is powerful enough to supply adequate volume for nearly any indoor concert venue, and many types of outdoor venues as well. Bands that are still playing in very small locations such as coffee houses, however, may be happier with an amplifier that supplies slightly lower power such as the QSC RMX 850.

QSC RMX 2450 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Rated for up to up to 2400 watts in bridged mode, or 1200 watts per channel in stereo operation
* Numerous fault protection mechanisms ensure proper operation under the most strenuous conditions
* User-selectable low frequency filters allow the owner to customize the amplifier's tone to their liking
* Three year manufacturer warranty, can be extended for an additional three years after purchase

Pyle PTA3000 Power Amps Review

Pyle  PTA3000 Power Amp Pyle PTA3000 Power Amplifiers are likely to ensure that the quality of Pyle’s equipment does not remain a secret in pro audio for much longer, delivering up to 3000 watts of bridged muscle at a price that is sure to make the most stingy of audio engineers smile.

The PTA3000 is a dual channel power amplifier delivering a maximum of 3000 watts, with a 110/220 volt switching power supply. With the proper adapters, it can be made to work with virtually any power outlet in the world. In addition to the extra power, it also offers two features not found among the other amplifiers in the PTA series: a two way crossover switch, and a high pass filter. These two features will generally be used exclusively of one another; the crossover switch enables the unit to drive a subwoofer, whereas the high pass filter should be enabled whenever the unit is used to power standard speakers. With the high pass filter enabled, subsonic bass frequencies will be cut, protecting your speakers from damage due to low frequencies that they are unable to properly reproduce. Whichever application you choose, the PTA3000 will deliver the top quality sound that you would expect out of a much more expensive amplifier, with perfect reproduction of transient sounds, pounding bass, and crystal-clear treble.

The unit is also equipped with above average fault protection measures, including a status LED on the front that notifies the user if the input gain is set too high and in danger of causing clipped waveforms (and speaker damage), and electrical fault protection circuitry that automatically disengages the amplifier channels in the event of a power brownout or overload. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a variable speed cooling fan, which ensures that the PTA3000 will remain within the proper operating temperatures under the harshest of stage conditions, while also operating quietly enough to be used in recording studios or other installed sound applications.

Pyle PTA3000 Power Amplifiers are backed by a one year warranty, guaranteeing the unit to be free of defects in workmanship and not to suffer from equipment failure.

Although Pyle Audio is best known as a provider of top quality sound systems for cars and boats, they have recently extended their operations into the world of professional audio, quietly providing top quality amplification systems with some of the best watt per dollar ratios available today.

Pyle PTA3000 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Rated for a maximum output of 3000 watts when operating in mono bridged mode
* Crossover and high pass filter switches enable the unit to be used with a subwoofer, and protect standard speakers from being damaged by subsonic bass frequencies

Pyle PTA1400 Power Amps Review

Pyle  PTA1400 Power Amp Pyle PTA1400 Power Amplifiers are the midrange offering in the entry level PTA amplifier line, created with the goal of providing some of the best sound available for your band or concert venue while still managing to come in under budget.

Upon unboxing the PTA1400, your first impression is likely to be just how well constructed the amplifier is, its all steel construction in no way resembling its low price tag. The PTA1400 is solidly built, and ready to be installed in your rackmount system. It is backed by Pyle's one year warranty, and guaranteed during that time against any malfunction or defect in workmanship.

The PTA1400 is a dual channel power amplifier, able to produce a maximum of 1400 watts when bridged and put into monaural operation. This level of power is sufficient to power the sound of any band or DJ performing in a small to medium sized concert venue.

In creating the PTA1400, Pyle did not skimp on the protective measures, either. The amplifier is protected against a full array of electrical fault conditions, and a front mounted LED lights up to alert the user when the input level is causing clipped waveforms and needs to be decreased. The unit is cooled through a forced air induction system, and is equipped with a dual speed cooling fan that is capable of operating in near silence for studio operation, while also keeping the amplifier cool enough to withstand the harsh stage lights of any club operation.

While the PTA1400 is ideal for bands or DJs that intend to perform at small to medium sized concert halls and clubs, it may not provide quite enough power for larger concert locations. Bands that plan to play at very large halls or outdoor locations may wish to consider the more powerful PTA3000, with a maximum power of 3000 watts, as a possible alternative.

Formerly known solely as a manufacturer of car audio equipment, Pyle Audio has diversified its business into a wide variety of other ventures including professional audio. Pyle's power amplifiers have become renowned within the industry for providing the pinnacle in cost effective amplification available today, with a wattage per dollar ratio that was previously unheard of.

Pyle PTA1400 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Rated for a maximum output power of 1400 watts in mono bridged operation
