QSC Introduces K.2 Series Loudspeakers
QSC, LLC has introduced the K.2 Series which is an addition to the K Family line of powered loudspeakers.
The new K.2 Series is comprised of the 8-inch K8.2, 10-inch K10.2 and 12-inch K12.2 full-range loudspeakers
and offers a number of significant feature upgrades, establishing an entirely new standard in powered loudspeaker
technology. QSC has also announced the introduction of the KS212C, a single-box powered cardioid subwoofer.
Each loudspeaker model in the K.2 Series is equipped with a 2000-watt power module carefully matched to high-performance
woofers and compression drivers. DMT (Directivity-Matched Transition) ensures smooth coverage across the entire
listening area. On-board DSP provides Intrinsic Correction voicing and advanced system management to further
optimize performance.
Superbly flexible, K.2 Series models additionally provide operators with a library of preset contours for common
applications such as Stage Monitor, Dance Music, Musical Instrument Amplification, Hand-held Microphone and more,
while also offering storable Scenes to recall user-configurable settings such as input type, delay, EQ, cross-over
and selected contour via the loudspeakers’ LCD screen and control panel. All three models can be operated as either
main PA or as a floor monitor. Each model can also be flown, wall- or truss-mounted, or placed on a speaker pole,
either straight-firing or with 7.5-degree down-tilt utilizing the new dual pole cup.
“The phenomenal success of the K Series is unprecedented in the pro audio industry and a testament to the values of
great design, high performance, steadfast quality and long-term reliability,” says Ray van Straten, Sr. Director of
Marketing, QSC Professional. “This next-generation product raises the bar yet again for the category and will most
certainly further reinforce the reputation of the K Family brand for many years to come,” he added.
The ideal complement to both the new K.2 loudspeaker line as well as legacy K Series full-range models, the new KS212C
Cardioid Subwoofer represents a breakthrough in innovation and design, uniquely providing all the benefits of a cardioid
subwoofer array in a single, compact enclosure. “Keeping bass in its place” for mobile entertainers, AV production and
rental professionals, as well as modestly-sized performance venues, the KS212C cardioid subwoofer is unparalleled in
its ability to manage low frequencies on the stage, or any application where undesirable low frequency energy needs to
be minimized. Dual 12-inch long-excursion drivers, each arranged in a 6th order bandpass chamber, are powered by a 3,600
Watt amplifier and controlled by the system’s DSP to produce a staggering 15 dB more output at the front of the cabinet
than at the rear. Like the K.2 Series, the KS212C provides advanced DSP with on-board user-controllable and recallable
Scenes via the LCD screen and control panel. Highly portable, the cabinet features comfortable, aluminum handles and
four, rear-mounted casters. Two M20 sockets are provided to accept a 35mm speaker pole in either vertical or horizontal
deployment of the sub.
Additionally, QSC has also announced the K.2 Series models as well as the KS212C Cardioid Subwoofer that feature a global
6-Year Warranty with product registration.
The K.2 Series will be available in selected markets in mid-May 2017.
