GX Stack

COSTA MESA, CA—The new versatile GX Series amplifiers are taking aim at the needs of musicians, DJs, and performers of all description. Consisting of two professional models outfitted with feature sets and power ratings designed to meet the requirements of popular passive loudspeakers, the GX Series is as reliable as the day is long and is marked by affordable prices that go easy on virtually any budget.

At eight ohms, the GX3 and GX5 are rated at 300 and 500 watts respectively, offering the continuous power capacity needed for a majority of common passive loudspeakers in use today. Outfitted with roughly 2X the continuous power capacity required by the top-selling non-powered loudspeakers on the market, the GX Series is the simplest and best answer to the question “what power amp do I need?”

Both GX amplifiers are equipped with all the input and output connectors needed for compatibility with virtually any source, loudspeaker, or wiring scheme. The lightweight design of the amps combine with their compact size to make either model easy to move or mount within small, portable racks. Just as easy to use, both the GX3 and GX5 feature straightforward user-selectable functions accessed via simple front-panel controls.

Every GX amp leaves the factory with carefully-tuned GuardRail™ technology that guarantees full, peak power without harmful levels of distortion. As a result, the only way to get serious distortion from a GX amp is by sending distortion into it.
