PL340 & PL325: World-Proven PowerLight Technology and Ultimate Class H Performance

Choose Your Technology
Maybe you don't need the PL380's 8 kW output. Perhaps you prefer the sound of linear output amplifiers for your high-frequency drivers. The PL3 Power Amplification System offers you two exceptional choices — the PL325 and PL340. Both amplifiers update QSC's well-tested Powerlight 2 platform, a unique Class H technology that eliminates audible artifacts caused by switching between tiers. Their highly refined linear circuitry delivers the cleanest output signal available in a professional power amplifier.

Our latest PowerLight supply has larger capacitors and more robust semiconductors for even higher peak power and energy storage. As always, PowerLight is designed for the places you work, tolerating surges and dips gracefully.

  Smooth System Integration
The PL3 Series is designed as a complete system for high-power concert amplification, not just a group of products. That's why all PL3 amplifiers share a common control, connector and indicator layout: it simplifies building and/or reconfiguring your racks, and keeps your wiring neat and clean.

You may want to use other amplifiers alongside the PL3 Series. That's why all three of these amplifiers have both switchable input sensitivity and zero latency.

Reliable Protection
We take thermal overload as seriously as you do. PL3 Series fans speed up if heat sinks rise above 55° C. Increased air flow is usually enough even during high level operation. Limiting begins above 80° C. Temperatures above 85° C only occur with fan or vent blockage: the amplifier will mute to prevent signifi cant internal damage.

Global Regulatory Compliance
If your business is concert sound, you never know how far the next gig will take you — or what kind of regulations you’ll find when you get there. PL3 Series amplifiers carry both UL and CE approvals, and meet world recognized FCC Class A EMI limits for the PL380 and Class B for the PL325 and PL340.
