Leading London-based rental company John Henry's Ltd has just taken delivery of a batch of QSC Powerlight amplifiers to upgrade their main PA racks. The purchase of the PL236 and PL6 units came after a lengthy evaluation of a number of different amplifiers with their existing EAW speaker system. "Having expanded our main EAW KF850 system at our sister operation in Dubai, we shipped our existing amp racks out to power it," said Aden Gregory, JHL's Audio rental department manager. "This gave us the opportunity to review our amplifier stock. We decided to check out a range of different switch-mode power amplifiers and after extensively testing a number of brands we chose the Powerlights from QSC. We were surprised that the PL6.0PFC weighing only 59lbs could deliver so much energy and have such a fast recovery rate. Not only do they sound excellent but they also have the added advantage of being light in weight - no mean consideration given the amount of trucking and load-ins we do in any given month."HW International, who has had a long-standing relationship with John Henry's Ltd, supplied the amplifiers. Commenting on the acquisition, HW's Graham Logue said: "We are delighted that John Henry's chose QSC to power their system, it's great to see another high end sound company selecting QSC amplification."
TV show Urban Choice, starring DJ Trevor Nelson has already benefited from the QSC purchase and it's expected that the amps will be involved in further TV work.
