Lexicon GX-7 7-Channel Power Amplifier

Add to Wishlist

Intended for systems where the additional output of the RX-7 or the ZX-7 is not necessary, the Lexicon GX-7 – with 125 watts per channel into 8 ohms – has more than enough power to drive most multi-channel speaker systems. When driving a 4 ohm load, the output of the GX-7 increases to an impressive 188 watts per channel. In order to facilitate easy system integration, the GX-7 includes a 12-volt trigger input on the rear panel so that it can be powered up remotely by a separate device with an output trigger, such as a Lexicon Digital Controller. A rack mount is also available. With its clean, quiet power, the GX-7 serves as an exceptional addition to any multi-channel home entertainment system.

Reference AV say:

“ The Lexicon GX-7 offers superb performance for systems with high efficiency speakers, or as an additional amp to power surround channels, in a case size that doesn’t take up too much space in the rack! ”

Raising the Standard for Ultrahigh-end Luxury Audio

The Lexicon GX-7 is a high-performance power amplifier designed to meet the rigorous demands of today’s home theater installations. It is designed with full complementary circuitry from input to output. It includes a high-current power supply driven by a massive, custom-designed, toroidal transformer with two separate windings for each channel.Each channel also features six discrete output devices, vast filter capacitance and is protected by an advanced protection circuit. Heat dissipation is accomplished by large heat-sinks mounted to each channel, enabling the GX-7 to function at full-power without the need for internal cooling fans. 

With seven channels, the GX-7 will be at home in today’s 7.1-channel music and cinema systems as well as for use in 5.1-channel systems with two additional channels that can be used in bi-wiring configurations, or to power speakers in another room. The GX-7 delivers 125 Watts/8 ohms per channel. The GX-7 includes high-quality gold-plated unbalanced (RCA) input connectors, as well as heavy-duty speaker output connectors. A trigger input connector allows the GX-7 to be powered on and off automatically with a preamplifier equipped with a trigger output.

The GX-7 is specially designed for many years of listening enjoyment. The GX-7’s impressive performance and flexibility ensure it is well equipped for the most sophisticated home theaters.
