Powerful unit

Product Review
Received the amp and hooked up , and i was totally surprised at how good it is , it really is powerful and i wasnt expecting it to be . I read some people say its fans are loud , honestly my old pa head was loud , this is barely heard .
Solid built body , actually has some weight to it .
I have it hooked to my behringer mix board , and have several different interfaces , mics and my pc channeled through , and am using 4 speakers , 2 from my alesis pa system and 2 moniter speakers , and i dont even have the unit up to half way , prob 1/3 of the way to half , and it is loud but clear . I could use this head to do a decent sized venue and easily be more than heard and clear , even on my mix board i am not even close to raising the controls high , i had to with my old unit. Andi did the payments , which is a big help especially right now , with all thats going on . Fast delivery as always .
I have bought so many different music equipment , from a les paul , a bass , mix board , pa , acoustic, mics . And i will only ever buy here.
Never had a issue with any purchase or item
Extreemly satisfied with this power amp .

NO matter what the other brands "claim", QSC delivers and does so reliably year after year. Some complain of fan noise. Okay, TELL QSC about it. They'll FIX that within the warranty period (7 years total IF registered online). You won't find a better amp at this price. The other brands have changed ownership several times over the years. Not QSC. One thing though. QSC doesn't really build a "BIG AMP" in the multi-thousands of watts. However, what they promise, THEY DELIVER.If you want TOP NOTCH, buy LAB GRUPPEN (If you can afford it). But the majority of us can't BUT are more than satisfied with QSC. You find many 30-plus year old ones still going. (With proper dustout maintenance). Spend the extra 100 to 150 and get the QSC.

One of the best amps I’ve ever used!!

Looking for the proper power amp is quite a chore. So I checked the website looking for a power amp that would fit the needs of my band. I wanted something that could easily be used for smaller to medium venues and occasionally for a few bigger venues. I needed something that could push our sound and not worry about it cutting out during the middle of a show. I happened to come across the QSC power amp. I always knew that QSC was a professional brand, but I had never tried QSC before. I pulled the trigger and I can say I have not been disappointed! We have played smaller and medium venues and the QSC has not let us down. We have plenty of power, and even some to spare. So if you’re looking for a power amp that can carry your sound, then look no further!

I bought this amp to power my EV Elx 112 tops. This amp has exceeded performance I expected. This amp is replacing my crown XLS602. I would definitely buy another. You really can’t find a better amp for the price

I purchased this amp to run monitors for the church PA. The church is small. As soon as I hook it up you can hear it running. I was hoping during service you wouldn’t be able to hear it. Well you can. Other than that it works.

Does what it's supposed to do...

...Powers my speakers to ear bleeding levels!!
Saw some other amps at this power level that did NOT have cooling fans...
My uneducated logic figured I'd rather have the cooling at the volume I was planning on listening to.
Read some whining about fan noise but I don't get it....once the music starts, you don't hear it.
Price was reasonable, IMHO, and AMS "rocks" with their billing option. Pay off your card every month and ZERO interest.
A simple 2 channel amp to listen to pure stereo at levels that a 7/9/11 channel A/V receiver can't reach.

I bought a pair of Pevey 115 spks, and my fender power mixer did not driver them very well. So I called AMS. and ask what Amp would work well with my set up. I was told to go with the QSC GX5 It was shipped in 2 days, I hooked it up today and the damn thing is killer. It has all the power i need for my BBQ's out side. I'm very happy with the service From AMS. I will be buying more things soon. Thank you guys for all you have done.

SEEMS TO BE WELL BUILT, I HAVE ONLY DONE ONE SHOW WITH IT SO FAR BUT IT SOUNDED GREAT AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT
tHE SOUND IS GREAT, THE SIZE AND WEIGHT ARE NICE, THE BUILT IN CROSSOVER IS HANDY TOO, THE ONLY THING THAT IT LACKS IS BRIDGED MONO CAPABILLITY
USEING THIS AMP IS STRAIGHT FORWARD, THE ONLY SLIGHTLY CONFUSING THING FOR A NOVICE MAY BE THE USE OF A JUMPER WIRE FOR PARRALLEL OPERATION

QSC's well know craftsmanship and very dependable, no heat issues, very quiet when operating
So many options in configuring this amp, QSC just has a great job on engineering this amp!
Very easy, just your basic connections (inputs, outputs)
Using to drive two (2)dual 15" speaker cabinets with mid range horn and tweeters, drives them with ease and sound is fantastic!

Solid
By: DJ Fatal from Denver, CO
Submitted: 9/28/2010
Built like a tank. A little on the heavy side but does what I need it to do.
I've had the amp for over 2 weeks and used it 2 to 3 times a week between 4-5 hours straight and it runs cool.
The multiple inputs/outputs is the best!!
Plug and play.
Lots of power, clean. I was ask to turn down the volume a few times and the knobs were only at 1 o'clock which wasn't even at peak.

Time will tell. QSC has a solid reputation for quality products. I push this thing for 3 to 5 hours straight 2 to 4 times a week. No heat issues, no sound issues, nada.
So many hookup options! This is important to me. We sometimes need the added flexibility.
Easy as pie for basic use. Easy enough for unique hookups though. Even if you have never used a power amp before, skimming the manual should have you going in no time.
Sound is very clear. The fans are quiet enough for almost any use except for maybe a higher end recording application. Even then, this could be easily dealt with with proper placement of the amp.

The quality of the product is very good and is very dependable.
I fine the input connection is very good.
If you follow the manual instruction and make your connection for what have in mind and what is possible for you to do according to your knowledge working with pro audio equipment it is the best to work with.

Excellent Power Amp

Very well made! It is extremely heavy for its size... to be expected in an amp. The connectors are all strong and solid, and the casing is very strong.
The amp has four ways to connect to your board/snake and speakers... it has Speakon, banana plug, and 1/4" connectors, plus the banana plug connectors will unscrew so you can hardwire connections. Very versatile! Plus the cooling fans are very quiet for a power amp.
Just plug it in... hook it up and set your output power... very simple, as long as you know what your speakers can handle.
Very clean... I didn't notice that it colored the sound at all.

Purchased as backup but now Primary
By: Michael Maxfield
Submitted: 2/16/2009
Made very well but haven't had it long enough to tell dependability. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
Multiple input and output configurations.
Plug and play. Very lightweight (at least when you are used to packing around a 60+ lb monster)...Only way it would be easier is if it hooked itself up...Ohhh wait, I forgot...The GX-5 is light enough to stay in my 10x10 space rack!
Sounds better with more bass, clear crisp mids and highs, and louder than my (now backup) amplifier, a Peavey CS-1200...and that is with the Peavey at full power and the GX-5 at only halfway up. I thought my Peavey was outstanding...The GX-5 blew my mind! I'm seriously considering getting another GX-5 to use as a backup and loosing the Peavey.

At 50% power setting running into an 8 ohm load the amplifier does not even get warm. Very sturdy condtruction. Well built. Fit and finish is excellent.
The various inputs and outputs make wiring this into your established system virtualy pain-free.
A true plug and play unit
Very clean and flat. Does not add anything to the mix.

Used to by Crown, now I'll by QSC!
By: J from Milwaukee, WI, USA
Submitted: 9/23/2008
It seems very well made, it's nice and heavey, has a solid metal chasis and the front rotary knobs feel sturdy.
Not a lot of features to a power amp, but I do love the built in cross-over.
Everything is well labeled, again, it's not a complicated peice of gear.
Good, clean, uncolored sound. It delivers what you put through it. I'm driving 2 Peavey 2x15's with it and I've not turned the amp up past half and i can't bear to bring the volume on my mixer all the way up. Plenty of good clean power.

QSC GX5 Power Amplifier - My feedback and thoughts....
By: Ernesto Jr Wekfest
Submitted: 8/28/2008
Very well made like my other more expensive QSC amps (RMX 2450 and plx-3402) - Great craftmenship and very durable.
Amount of power is one of the MAIN reasons I bought this amp and also the many many differant inputs and flexibility this amp has!
Very user friendly and the BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK I have spent here at AMS.
Sound quality is suprisingly very accurate! it runs my tops (top speakers formids and highs) for my Mobile DJ company. Very crisp accurate highs and tight mids...
