Product Description

The QSC K Series is quite simply the standard in lightweight powered loudspeaker systems. Under the direction of Pat Quilter, QSC's team of amplifier engineers have created upgraded Class D power modules, unparalleled in the industry. Next, breaking from the traditional loudspeaker paradigm, every model is fitted with the identical 1.75 inch HF device (fullrange models) and woofers of the same high quality for unparalleled performance, regardless of speaker size.

Extensive DSP processing is employed throughout, providing levels of sonic clarity and total output that defy the system's size and weight.

Premium-grade materials, advanced construction processes and multiple mounting and suspension options allow for a wide range of live and installed applications.

Combo XLR and 1/4 inch 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. Up to 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.

On-board switches provide preset EQ settings. The HF setting (fullrange models) can be set to Vocal Boost for additional presence in the critical mid-frequency area or Flat for accurate reproduction of the incoming signal. The LF switch can be set to Norm, DEEP(TM) for additional bass extension, or Ext Sub (fullrange models) for use with an external subwoofer. The rear panel LED switch can be set to Power, illuminating the front-mounted LED when the unit is powered on, OFF for applications where it is not desirable to illuminate the front LED, or Limit which indicates to the system operator that the clip limiter circuit has been engaged during operation.

The K Series fullrange models feature a unique Tilt-Direct(TM) pole cup mounting system. A simple turn of the dial engages a 7.5 degree downward tilt of the speaker allowing acoustic energy to be kept on the audience and off reflective surfaces for applications where maximum coverage from a high-positioned speaker is desired. Integrated M10 suspension points allow for suspended applications with a K Series M10 Kit (sold separately) or Yoke bracket (sold separately).

Remote gain control capability is offered via a potentiometer (not included) connected to the on-board Euroblock connector. In an installed application, multiple K Series speakers can be "daisy-chained" for total gain control from a single remote pot. Auto-standby mode is engaged after 5 minutes of inactivity.

The QSC K10 powered PA speaker is housed in a rugged ABS enclosure with a professional appearance that is at home in any application. ABS is a far more robust material than conventional speaker plastics and offers an additional measure of sonic clarity due to its internal rigidity. Ergonomic aluminum handles and a highly protective steel grille complete the package for ease of transport and long term durability.

The QSC K10 features a unique Tilt-Direct pole cup mounting system. A simple turn of the dial engages a 7.5 degree downward tilt of the speaker allowing acoustic energy to be kept on the audience and off reflective surfaces for applications where maximum coverage from a high-positioned speaker is desired.

Extensive DSP

DMT (Directivity Matched Transition) provides for matched LF and HF coverage across the entire listening area, eliminating unnatural dead or hot frequency zones

Intrinsic Correction, first featured in yjr high-end line-array products maps 65-75 spacially-averaged measurements to IIR and FIR filters that actively adjust time, frequency and amplitude response to a maximally flat bandpass target. The result is a speaker that behaves equally well across the entire sound field

DEEP and excursion limiting allow for extended low-frequency response by actively managing low-frequency transients without degradation of the underlying signal or adjacent frequencies

GuardRail protection, first introduced on the GX Series amplifiers protects both the amplifier module and your performance from unnatural and destructive clipping

Connectors

The QSC K10 features balanced female XLR and 1/4 inch line/mic level input, balanced female XLR and 1/4 inch line level input, dual balanced male XLR full range line level out, balanced male XLR mix out, stereo RCA line level input, remote gain control and locking IEC power connector. zZounds is an authorized dealer of QSC products.

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (35 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Anything else is a compromise!"
Sound: I perform mostly as a solo, playing acoustic and electric guitars, as well as mandolin, banjo, dobro, lap steel and hand percussion. I also make live loops. As a looper and slide player it is imperative that I can hear myself clearly. The QSC K series speakers do exactly that for me ... clean clear crisp sound with a bottom end presence to vibrate the floor beneath me. I have played small venues with just one K8, adding a K8, K10, K12, or K sub for larger or outdoor venues or with my band as needed. I carry all my own gear myself, so the size and weight were also a factor. The K series from QSC is simply the perfect blend of clean, clear, crisp, powerful,small and light. Feature: NA Ease of Use: Easy to use right out of the box. Quality: High quality and seems durable...time will tell Value: Excellent product well worth the price Manufacturer Support: NA The Wow Factor: Basic black ,sleek stylish sexy cool blue light! Overall: Unless QSC outdoes themselves ...these are my speakers for a long long time
Style of Music: solo acoustic

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "QSC K10"
Overall: After using a K-sub + K12 combination as our mains, I decided to grab a K10 as my stage monitor, and also as a quick grab and go system for solo/duo gigs. I can only say that this was the best purchase I've made so far this year!The K10 is LOUD. It's also very clear. Enough power to cover pretty much anything I can throw at it. It's also lightweight.. very easy to get up on speaker stands. The versatility is second to none. The input/output section can cover any application.. and the DSP section is actually useful! All in all, I can't say enough good things about it. I haven't had to deal with the manufacturer, so I'm just guessing about their support... but I can only guess, due to the sheer awesomeness of their product, that it would be great, as well! I'll be buying another K10 this summer!
Style of Music: Rock, Blues, Country.. anything that needs a guitar!

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
