Sound: The sound is very high quality and very musical. Feature: The built in crossover is nice feature, but it cannot be bridged which can be a drawback for some applicaitons. Ease of Use: Turn it on and go! Quality: The connectors in back feel great when connecting various cable types. the front knobs and casing feel a little cheap & pasticy Value: You get so much power & QSC reliability for a very good price. You can also get a 6 year warranty if you register the amp online. Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: n/a, its an amp Overall: I expect to be performing with this amp in my PA for many years to come.

Back to Product Information
Sound: In typical QSC fashion, a great sounding amp. Way more amp for the money than I was expecting. Feature: Really, it's got everything I need, including a very cool built-in crossover for powering a sub and a top on their own channels. The GuardRail protection system is a no-brainer. Ease of Use: Lots of inputs and outputs. Thoughtfully done. Quality: It's a QSC. 6 year warranty free online. What else is there to say. Value: Yes. I think it's the best deal in amplifiers out there. I'm buying more. Manufacturer Support: In all my years of owning QSC products (I'm old) I've only had to contact their tech support once and I was impressed that I got a live body on the phone right away. Overall: Really happy with it.

Sound: Boomy, clean, full range, amazing sound. Awesome! Feature: The QSC GX500 has everything I need, and nothing I don't. Simple, easy to use, but at the same time cool features like the Guardrail system and optional sub-crossover. Nice manual with no-nonsense, pictorial descriptions of what you can and cannot (or should not) do with the amplifier. QSC keeps it simple with minimal flash, an ALL-METAL case, and clearly-labeled ins and outs. NOTES: you can use SPEAKon and/or 1/4" speaker outputs--nice to have options!= Ease of Use: Like I said, couldn't be simpler for the features. I was shocked at how fast I had it working. Value: All in all, the best amp for your money, hands down. Amazing sound, ease of use, and super long warranty. Manufacturer Support: FREE 6 YEAR WARRANTY. Let me repeat that: this product, if you register it online, comes with a 6 YEAR WARRANTY. You're simply not going to beat that. SO nice to see a company stand behind its product. Solid. The Wow Factor: Silver and black. Nice. Overall: Great value, 6 year warranty, great sound, like I said, you can't go wrong. QSC is a real company, all substance and no gimmicks. Go for it!

Sound: Wow! The QSC GX5 gives out plenty of staying power. The fans keep it cool, even on the hottest of days. I use this amp with my Peavey DJS4 DJ Speakers. The amps power works really well with these speakers. The sound is clear and very powerful. Feature: The QSC comes with light panel on the front. The feature allows you to see if the amp is clipping or not. Very usefull. Ease of Use: This amp has a varity of connection, suitable for any novice to use. It is as easy as plug and play. You know how important that is, for any gig. Quality: The QSC is very well built. Sturdy, compact and very manageable. Value: I would recommened this product to anyone who is looking for a top quality amp at a very reasonable price. Plus, using the 4 payment plan allowed me to buy what I really wanted and not settle for something I could barely afford. Way to Go Zzounds. I will definetly be coming back. Manufacturer Support: You get a 6 year warranty, what more can I say. This company really stands by it's product. The Wow Factor: The silver and black combination of color is sharp and very sexy. It really stands out. Overall: I will hold on to it, unitl it is time to update. I believe this amp will be with me for a good while.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I am very happy with this purchase. I am impressed at the overall build quality QSC puts into the GX series of equipment, especially at this price point. I purchased the GX5 to power a pair of Peavey 115 mains and couldn't be happier with the reults. Feature: Since amps do really have many "features" other than output power, I can only say I am happy with the output power of the GX5 I purcahased. Ease of Use: It doesn't get much easier. A power button and right and left output control knobs on the front make for a clean look. Both RCA and 1/4" TRS inputs on the back sit right beside Speakon, TRS and binding post outputs on the back. Connections are simple and plentiful. Quality: This is a nice looking unit with clean lines and plenty of input and output connections. It is clear that QSC takes thier quality control seriously. Value: I couldn't find a better deal anywhere. Even if I could have, zzsounds would have matched it anyway. Why even look anywhere else? Manufacturer Support: I have not had any issues that have required me to contact zzsounds yet. The Wow Factor: For the price and quality I couldn't find anything else in this price range. Overall: Considering QSC offers a 6 year warranty on their products if you register online, I suspect I'll be very happy with this purchase for many years to come. If either of my other two Carver amps were to fail, I would replace them with a QSC product.

Sound: The sound is great on poor speakers and great speakers. Clean power and weight...none of that new fancy-smansy digital rail power, or whatever you call it. Value: A lot of power for the money...blew a pair of Seismic 15T's after an hour or so Manufacturer Support: Called once, and spoke to a live person the first time. The Wow Factor: It looks nice in the rack with the GX7, but I like the weight of the GX5...makes me feel more confident in it's power.
