The PowerLight 3 Series includes the Class D PL380 as well as two Class H models. All share a common control, connector and indicator layout for neat and simplified integration into equipment racks. PL380: Ultimate Class D Performance and World-Proven PowerLight Technology Whatever you expect from switchmode amplifiers, you’ll get more from Pat Quilter’s ultimate Class D amplifier. More audio quality. More high-end transparency. More efficiency.
To prevent unauthorized adjustment of input attenuation settings, a security lockout plate is included with every PowerLight 3 amplifier. PL340 & PL325: World-Proven PowerLight Technology and Ultimate Class H Performance Choose Your Technology Maybe you don’t need the PL380 amplifier’s 8 kW output. Perhaps you prefer the sound of linear output amplifiers for your highfrequency drivers. The PowerLight 3 Power Amplification System offers you two exceptional choices — the PL325 and PL340.
