- Comfortable ergonomic handles
- 35 mm standard (non-tilt) pole socket
- M10 rigging points for suspended installation
- Inputs, Outputs and Mixing
Combo XLR and 1/4″ TRS inputs accept both mic- and line-level input while a set of RCA phono inputs (except KSub) allow additional connectivity to portable MP3 players, CD players and line-level mixers. As many as three audio sources can be mixed internally and summed to a balanced output for “daisy-chaining” of multiple units. Separate direct outputs are also provided on each channel for additional output flexibility. - DEEP™
Sophisticated digital signal processing provides greater low-frequency extension while precisely protecting the woofer from over-excursion. - DMT
Directivity Matched Transition matches the HF coverage angle to the natural coverage angle of the woofer for uniform frequency response over the entire coverage area. - Axisymmetric Wave Guide
The axisymmetric wave guide eliminates the phase distortions of typical asymmetric horns for more natural reproduction. - 1000 Watts
The same state-of-the-art, light-weight Class D amplifier module powers all the K and KW Series models. - EQ Modes
Optimize for a specific application with the simple flip of a switch. - Energy Management
Automatic standby mode conserves energy and extends the life of the loudspeaker. - LED Operation
Switch selectable: On (power indicator) / off (dark) / limit (limiter indication) - Remote Control
Easy-to-use remote gain control is ideal for installed applications. - Pro Appearance
Sleek lines and a full grille for a more professional look than other molded loudspeakers. - Locking IEC Power Cable
Help prevent unexpected interruptions. - Connectivity
Mic/line and RCA inputs along with onboard mixing controls allow greater flexibility. - Tilt-Direct™ Pole Mount
A simple turn of the dial is all it takes to alter the vertical directivity by 7.5 degrees. - Suspension and Mounting
With integrated threaded inserts, KW Series is equally at home in mounted or flown applications. - Threaded Pole
The KW181 subwoofer comes with a threaded pole for a snug, safe fit. - Intrinsic Correction
An exclusive QSC process that applies extensive acoustic measurements to noticeably improve audio quality. - Class D
Higher efficiency produces less heat and more sonic performance with lower overall current draw. - Protections
QSC’s Guardrail™ technology protect your loudspeakers from overexcursion. On-demand cooling fan and thermal limiting prevent overheated electronics.
