The GX5 provides full performance for 500 watt (Program) speakers.
Both models supply maximum possible power to 4 ohm and 8 ohm loads.
Owners of popular 4 ohm loudspeakers (dual-woofer, two-way models and
many subwoofers) will find the 700 watt (4 ohm) power of the GX5 an
ideal match.
Technical Notes
The GX5 uses a Class H system, based on key elements of the PLX
Series, almost doubling power in the same size and weight. QSC design
expertise allows the output devices to shift from low-power to
high-power rails in less than a millionth of a second, ensuring that
the output power is always right where it needs to be without excess
loss.
