No. You need a 32a powercon. Where are you located?

Given that the only QSCs that I have are some PLX/RMX units, I haven't worked with the PL380s and their 32A Powercons. I checked it online, and didn't recognize it in a picture of the amp...

Hopefully someone is nearby that can hook you up with one, whether an electrical supply house or another production provider. :)


(Mike, did you ever notice your signature, where it leads off "Dealer for: and then repeats with "Dealer for Yorkville..etc" Repetitive redundancy, especially when it's over and over again repeatedly, is always fun. :) )

If it was me - option B (use two 5050's - each bridged to a 728. Not ideal any which way, but the 728 can handle the power.

You're an hour (each way) from Steve Payne's Soundworks in Richmond.  IIRC he's got QSC power and might have what you need.

If you bridge the RMX amps, remember to turn them down by -6dB so your processing will still be correct.

If you MUST use the amp, you could open it up and remove the power con and hard wire a power cord to the unit.  It shouldn't take too long to do a mod like that, as long as it's within your normal skill set.

Thanks so much for the help and Jon's offer with crest! Ended up using one 5050 on the 2 728s and workout great. You guys are great at what you do and awesome for sharing knowledge. Thanks, again. P.S. ordered cord and backup. Lol
