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 cool and reliable even under harsh conditions. Using a high-
