PowerLight 3 Series is comprised of our “Ultimate Analog” power house amplifier, designed for the most demanding concert and live-sound reinforcement applications. The PL380 features the ground breaking PowerLight™ power supply technology, dramatically reducing weight, eliminating AC mains hum and improving audio quality. Comprehensive remote control and monitoring can also be achieved via the Q-SYS networked platform.
Class D topology provides efficient performance at extreme power loads
Three-position Input Sensitivity switch ensures gain-matching with existing amp racks and power systems
User defeatable clip limiters and selectable low-frequency filters (30 Hz, 50 Hz, Bypass)
DataPort connection supports external amplifier control and monitoring via Q-SYS
XLR and Block Input connectors and Binding post or Neutrik speakON® Output connectors
Comprehensive internal protection protects amplifiers and loudspeakers against over-current, over-temperature and clipping – without compromising program signal
