QSC power amps

Originally posted by oddio
I love my PLX3002... lightweight, competitively priced, reliable (so far), appropriate filter and limiter settings, tons of power, plus we get the added value of Bob Lee - the lonely Maytag (tm) repairman of the amplifier world.

The primary reason I have a QSC amp is because of Bob's helpfulness and accessibility in this forum. Also, QSCs appear really well built to me and have nice features. Go for it...

I think so. I had one for awhile and never had a single problem. I only upgraded to the PLX for less weight. Most people say that the PLX fan is quieter than the RMX. But I actually found the opposite when in front of both amps. Oh, and the RMX amp sounded every bit as good to me.

It's totally a weight vs. cost issue with these two models.

How is the Fan noise on the QSC PLX amps? is it loud? is it defeatable? I have an older 1000W carvin power amp in my PA setup and the fan noise on it is fairly loud.

Fan sound isn't bad at all, I don't even notice it while I play. It's certainly not noticeable in the band. No, the fan is not defeatable. There was only one guy I can think of that complained about fan noise on a PLX and he was using it as his bedroom practice amp. But most people don't even notice it.

Yep I'll go along with that. I mean when I'm using a 1600 watt amp in my bedroom the fan really bugs me too.:D






Just in case anyone missed the sarcasm, it's there
