Hi folks,


QSC sent me an email about their new lines of k.2 series.  It is attached below.

Has anyone tried them out yet?

Any opinions?  

Here is what I am looking for:  I have spinal stenosis, so most of my gigs I either have someone else running sound, or I bring my lighter weight speakers
My k-10s weight 32 pounds each, but since the new K.2 8s are 2,000 watts and 27 pounds each, I am thinking of selling my old K 10s and buying the new K.2 - 8s

The gigs I need these for are noisy crowds of 150 - 300 people, and big open outdoor gigs.  We usually need them 8 to 10 times a year, especially this time of year when we are doing summer camp counselor orientation dances and whole camp dances for campers.

I have received a variety of responses from the contra sound forum, and it seems that the K.2 8s do not have the quality of the original QSC k series, and they might produce a muddy sound.  It was recommended that I consider the EV ZX A1, which apparently is a wonderful speaker with superb sound, but probably not powerful enough to handle my biggest gigs.

So, to sum up, do you think I can get basically the same good quality sound with the new “8s” as I presently get with the old K 10s?  Any other suggestions for something that weighs less than 30 pounds and great quality?

New K.2 Series Loudspeakers

Introducing the K.2 Series, the highly anticipated next generation of our global best-selling K Family line of powered loudspeakers. The new K.2 Series, which is comprised of the 8-inch K8.2, 10-inch K10.2 and 12-inch K12.2 full-range loudspeakers, offers a number of significant feature upgrades, establishing an entirely new standard in powered loudspeaker technology.

  • 2000-watt power module - Carefully matched to high-performance woofers and compression drivers for optimal power and clarity.
  • Preset contours - For applications such as 
    • Stage Monitor
    • Dance Music
    • Musical Instrument Amplification
    • Hand-held Microphone and more
  • Storable scenes - Recall user-configurable settings using the loudspeakers' LCD screen and control panel such as: input type, delay, EQ, cross-over and selected contour.

  • Flexible deployment options - Dual pole cup with straight-firing and 7.5-degree down-tilt. Other mounting options include eyebolt kits and yokes for flown, wall- or truss-mounting.


New KS212C Cardioid Subwoofer

The perfect 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. 

  • 3,600 Watt power module - Class D amplifier delivers deep, powerful and punchy extended lows. 
  • Dual 12-inch long-excursion drivers - Arranged in a 6th order band-pass chamber, drivers are controlled by the system’s DSP to produce a staggering 15 dB more output at the front of the cabinet than at the rear. 
  • Advanced DSP - 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.


QSC is also proud to announce that K.2 Series models as well as the KS212C Cardioid Subwoofer feature a global 6-Year Warranty with product registration.
