QSC K8 Powered PA SpeakerThe 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.
