QX-300 Series Commercial Power
The QX-300 series amplifiers take commercial audio to a new level. The superior Class-D technology combined with small form factor make the QX-300 series the perfect solution for any commercial or industrial application. Wall and table mount options offer more flexibility, 10 units can be mounted in 3RU, achieving extremely high power to channel count for density.
UMAC™ Class-D technology delivers unequalled audiophile specifications, including the highest dynamic range and the lowest distortion performance of any comparable pro audio amplifier. This makes the QX-300 Series suitable for pro audio applications and for use in Hi-Fi and AV products.

Energy Conserver
When in standby the QX-300A draws less than 0.5W of power, making the QX-300A series both Green Energy Star & ErP 1275/2008/EC compliant. Low-Z (4 -16 Ohm) operation and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations are catered for and adjusted using the onboard auto load sensing technology.
Made in Australia
Like all Quest products, the QX-300 Series is made to survive in a tough world.
Australian QC and advanced design engineering mean years of trouble free service in professional applications. The QX-300 Series provides a price/performance ratio that is hard to beat.
