PowerLight 3 Series is comprised of our “Ultimate Analog” power house amplifier, designed for the most demanding concert and live-sound reinforcement applications. The PL380 features the ground breaking PowerLight™ power supply technology, dramatically reducing weight, eliminating AC mains hum and improving audio quality. Comprehensive remote control and monitoring can also be achieved via the Q-SYS networked platform.
