PowerLight 3 Series


Featuring a flexible architecture that provides users the choice of comprehensive, networked remote control, monitoring and DSP or the cost saving of a simple, straightforward analog input configuration.



Rear Panels With All The Right Choices

Flexible Input Connectors
Both Euroblock and parallel male/female XLR input connectors let you choose the best way to simplify your analog signal wiring.

A DataPort HD15 connector is your interface to QSControl for remote control, monitoring and audio signal routing via an Ethernet network. For the first time, analog DataPort audio signals are directly paralleled with the XLR inputs to give you even more signal-patching choices.

Choose Your Line Level
Three Position Sensitivity Switch with color coded LEDs: 26 dB (Orange), 32 dB (Green), or 1.2V (Yellow). The switch setting is visible on QSControl.net.

Versatile Input Routing
Stereo/Bridge/Parallel Input Routing Switch with front and rear panel LEDs plus QSControl display.

Optional Clip Limiting
Clip Limiter On/Off for each channel with Yellow LEDs. Designed as a backstop, this limiter converts hard clipping to a softer form of peak clamping. Normal program dynamics are unaltered.

Selectable High Pass Filters
Engage 33 Hz or 50 Hz high pass infrasonic filters to protect woofers and preserve headroom – or bypass them.

A Choice of Output Connectors
The PL3 Series gives you a choice of output wiring as well: both Neutrik® Speakon® and "Touch Proof" binding posts are included on all three amplifiers. The channel 1 Speakon carries both output channels for direct connection to bi-amplified loudspeakers.

Choose Your Operating Voltage
PowerLight supplies are factory optimized for 120 VAC or 240 VAC operation. The PL380's 120 VAC cord is designed for continuous full power operation, with 12/3 wiring and a 30A Twist-Loc connector that can handle 25A continuous. That's almost twice the long-term power capacity of some other amplifiers, and you’ll need to configure your AC distribution accordingly if you plan on using all of it.

lockout panel
To prevent unauthorized adjustment of input attenuation settings, a security lockout plate is included with every PL3 amplifier.
 
Road-Rugged Construction and Comprehensive Internal Protection

The PL3 Series incorporates all the lessons we've learned on thousands of shows around the world to make sure that your amplifier racks will be as reliable as you are.

Rugged Construction
QSC design and construction have been tested and refi ned for decades. A single large circuit board carries all core power circuitry and the solid aluminum heat sinks with ducted fan flow. Breakaway boards for inputs, displays, line filters etc. are connected by vibration-resistant, flexible ribbon cables and wiring.
