QSC RMX 5050 Power Amps Review

Posted by admin in QSC on August 4th, 2009

There are some performance situations where only the most powerful amplifier will do, and QSC RMX 5050 Power Amplifiers fit that bill. QSC has been providing top quality amplification to professional musicians for over four decades, and the RMX 5050 is the new flagship of the RMX power amplifier line, providing up to 5000 watts of muscle. The RMX 5050 can be the backbone of any touring band's sound system, providing enough power to reach the back rows of virtually any indoor or outdoor concert venue.

The RMX 5050 is a two channel power amplifier, capable of the aforementioned 5000 watts in bridged mono mode, or up to 2500 watts per channel when driving a pair of 2 ohm speakers. With 4 and 8 ohm speakers, the maximum output of the RMX 5050 is 1800 watts and 1100 watts, respectively. This power is provided with minimum waste: the RMX 5050 is among the most efficient amplifiers in the RMX product line. It also provides exactly the same sound quality that musicians have come to expect from QSC products, with a tonal response that is designed to be even from the lowest bass to the highest treble frequencies, for maximum accuracy.

In dual channel operation, the RMX 5050 is an ideal solution for driving both a subwoofer and main speakers, thanks to its independent bass roll-off filters. For each channel, the owner can set the roll-off filter at 50 Hz, 30 Hz, or off. This allows for maximum protection of speakers that can not reproduce subsonic bass frequencies, and minimum crosstalk when a standard speaker and subwoofer are used in tandem.

Along with top of the line sound quality, the RMX 5050 features several safety mechanisms to ensure proper operation even in less than ideal conditions. Its automatic clipping detection feature senses when clipped waveforms are entering the amplifier (due to input volume that is too high), and automatically reduces the internal volume of the amp to prevent permanent damage from being done to the speakers. Clipping detection can also be disabled if desired. Additionally, the unit features direct mounted internal heat sinks and high power cooling fans, ensuring that proper operating temperatures are maintained even during all day events.

For musicians that demand the most powerful amplifier and highest quality sound in one package, QSC RMX 5050 Power Amplifiers are the ideal choice. With the RMX 5050, QSC has managed to provide one of the most powerful amplifiers on the market, while maintaining the tonal quality that they are beloved among musicians for - all in an affordable package that won't break the bank.
