Engineered and assembled in the company’s Costa Mesa, California facility, the GX7 retains key form and functional elements of the GX Series, while delivering more power in a lowe-weight package. Designed for portable applications, the GX7 offers 725W/channel at 8Ω and 1kW/channel at 4Ω, while weighing a mere 15.5 lbs for the 120V version.

‘The QSC retail amplifier customer expects a truly professional solution at a value price point.’ says Ray van Straten, QSC Director of Marketing Communications. ‘Our customers continually reinforce their message to us that they consider three key feature/benefits to be of utmost importance in a power amp – clean, high-output power, maximum portability, and bulletproof reliability. In developing the GX7, we focused our efforts in these areas rather than be sidelined by peripheral and largely superfluous features that just add cost. The result is a product that should exceed all performance expectations while maintaining incredibly high value for our customers.’

At the core of the GX7 is QSC’s road-proven PowerLight power supply, providing in one of the highest power-to-weight ratios in the industry. Cooling is aided with a low-noise, variable-speed fan with rear-to-front airflow. Like the GX3 and GX5, the GX7 features XLR, quarter-inch TRS and phono input connectors, Speakon and binding post outputs, built-in subwoofer/satellite crossover control, detented gain knobs, front-panel LED indicators and GuardRail amplifier and speaker protection.

QSC expects to deliver the first production units in January 2011, and is currently taking orders worldwide.
