QSC Audio PLX 3402 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
PROFESSIONAL POWER AMPLIFIERS
A line of amplifiers that defines high impact. Up to
3,400 watts in a 2 rack-unit chassis that’s only 13”deep
and 21 lbs. We included our exclusive PowerWave
Technology used in our award-winning PowerLight™
Series for chest-pounding bass and crystal-clear highs.
It also features hum-free noise floor and ultra-low
distortion of .03% THD. To keep PLX running under the
most demanding conditions, we’ve even added our
Advanced Thermal Management System. PLXs offer
the reliability of a company that’s been building
professional amplifiers for over 30 years.

With PowerWave technology,the PLX series take your
music to a whole new level. Not only does it deliver bigger bass and cleaner highs,
PowerWave also cuts wasted heat and boosts reliability.PowerWave is a switching
power supply that provides ample current to the audio power circuitry by
charging the supply rails 230,000 times a second through an ultra-low impedance
circuit.So unlike other amps with conventional supplies,the audio signal is never
starved prematurely and remains crisp and clean. It virtually eliminates hum and
greatly reduces noise, providing a vast dynamic range that can handle any music
without running out of headroom.
Our Advanced Thermal Management system ensures PLXs
run cool and reliable even under harsh conditions.Using a high-
output variable speed fan,
ATM pulls cool air from the rear of
the amp and propels it through a heat
shroud precision-fitted to flow air over the
heat sinks and out of the amplifier.
