The QSC K8 Powered PA Speaker is powered by a Pat Quilter designed 1000 watt QSC Class D power module. Extensive DSP processing is employed throughout, providing levels of sonic clarity and total output that defy the system's size and weight. Plus the K8 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.

Preset Application Settings
On-board switches provide preset EQ settings. The HF setting 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 for additional bass extension, or EXT SUB 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.
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 our 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 our GX Series amplifiers protects both the amplifier module and your performance from unnatural and destructive clipping
Set Up
The QSC K8 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.

| QSC K8 Small & Mighty |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| This is one tough small 8inch powered speaker containing 1,000 watts of powerful sound. |
|
| Features |
| What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? |
| Besides it's powerful 1,000 Watts, the best feature is the optional settings on the back. |
|
| Ease of Use |
| How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? |
| EZ set up, lighter than my 50 lb. 450 watt powered speaker. |
|
| Sound |
| How is the tone? |
| Perfect. My solo gig has 150 plus in attendance....I just use 1 speaker and set master volume at 4, loud enough to have the manager tell me to bring it down. Quality tone without no feedback and no distorted sound at all...all clear tone. Just Beautiful. |

| General |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I recommend solo artists like myself to invest in this 8inch powered speaker. I run my Behringer 16 channel through this K8 along with my Boss Drum Machines, my Boss Vocal Harmonizer and my Martin Guitar...using 3 channels, the K8 delivers my total sound with the master volume only set at 4.
Believe me, you won't be surprised! |
