QSC

collapse expand iconDescription

The E118sw is a high-performance direct radiation subwoofer with a single, 800W, 18-inch, aluminum frame woofer. It’s designed to produce crushing low-end for live performance with kick-drum and bass in the PA or for high-level, high-energy dance music. A threaded, M20 pole socket and speaker pole are provided for sub/satellite use with any of the E Series two-way models. For portable applications it includes attachment points for four optional casters. The subwoofer’s 4-ohm impedance means that a single woofer can be optimally powered by a less expensive amplifier.

E Series loudspeakers will perform very well with any quality, professional power amplifier – but by taking advantage of the complete E Series Entertainment System, more performance and options are available. Today’s powered loudspeakers rely on finely tuned digital signal processing (DSP) to achieve a higher level of performance. When used with QSC GXD or PLD amplifiers or with a QSC TouchMix digital mixer, E Series loudspeakers can also take advantage of advanced DSP. QSC has developed E Series DSP settings for all three platforms. These settings support a variety of applications including live sound reinforcement (with and without subwoofers), stage monitoring, dance music and karaoke.

    How would these sound with two of these tops ( QSC K12.2 Active 12" Powered 2000 Watt Loudspeaker) stacked directly on top of the sub stacked sideways? Or do you think the tops should be higher then stacked directly on top of the sub? Also would these work good with the two QSC 5050 amps? I basically want to upgrade 2 of my subs to go along with the two JBL 18" front load subs with a QSC 5050. So I would have 4 subs total, 2 QSC 5050 bridged for a total of 10,000 watts for my 4 subs plus 4 of the QSC K12.2 Active 12" Powered 2000 Watt Loudspeakers stacked directly on the sub. Would that work or do you think the tops need to be higher than directly on the sub?

    They should be slightly above head level. They need to be higher.
