Back to Product Information
Sound: Ruler flat response. Great dynamic range. Boatloads of juice. We've used it for critical monitoring where its clear coherent uncolored fidelity shines. I've used it for bass guitar and keyboard where the high-power and wide frequency range shows its muscle. Feature: Pro ins and outs work for any application. Very lightweight considering the amount of current this thing delivers! Front and Back rack-mounts for stability and reliable mounting. Precision detents aid accurate adjustment. Forced air cooling is a trifle loud for studio use. Ease of Use: Plug it in. Hook it up. Turn it on. Quality: Its QSC. You've heard about QSC, right? We have NEVER had anything by QSC fail... in 30 years; Even under extreme conditions, ...Not even once. Value: Three bills buys this world-class audio master. That's cheap for QSC quality. Manufacturer Support: I have never had to call for repair, but I have called for technical advice. The staff was responsive and knowledgeable. The Wow Factor: Looks good. Sounds great. It's all pro and good to go. Overall: After hearing this amp with several systems, I decided to mount it in a small portable rack back with a power-supply. I use it for everything: keyboard, PA, guitar rig, bass rig. It works for every live-gig I get. I change speakers, loads, inputs, ohmage, ...everything. The QSC GX3 keeps pumpin 'n' thumpin, loud and clear.

Sound: This is a great amp! I am using it in a youth room at church. Two main speakers are hooked up to it and it works great. Barely have it turned up and it fills the room with sound. I would agree with others about the humming sound. In our case this doesn't matter, but in a home theater situation I could see how it could be an issue. It's a great product! Ease of Use: Super easy to set up and use. Quality: Made very well! Very solid. Value: Very good bang for your buck! Overall: This is a great amp! I am using it in a youth room at church.

Sound: Very good sound quality and exceptional power. This works great for my DJ applications. Feature: Numerous inputs and output options give flexibility. Needs more led lights to see how much power is being used. Ease of Use: Very easy to connect and has detailed markings on how to connect printed on back. Quality: This thing is built like a tank. But lighter than other amps I have used in the past. Value: Definitely worth the money. Manufacturer Support: Have not had any issues with this product yet. The Wow Factor: I would rather see it in black but it is still appealing to the eye. Overall: I would recommend this amp to anyone.

QSC GX3 Power Amp Customer Review submitted June 10, 2009

By a customer from yahoo.com

Back to Product Information
Sound: I bought a GX3 to power some high end home speakers with horrendously low sensitivity. I have owned several audiophile amps and like the fact that $300 can buy so much clean power. Feature: The biggest problem with this amp for everyone else is going to be the silly left to right air flow. For me it is that the fan in the GX3 is really unacceptably loud for home use. According to QSC tech support, the fan is temperature controlled, but it idles like an outboard motor. A decent PWM fan could have covered the range of cfm necessary at different drive levels. In retrospect, I regret this purchase. Quality: Built like a tank

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
