K Series Overview

QSC

Description

The QSC K10 punches above its weight class with unrivaled sound quality and solid workmanship that stands up to the rigors of professional use. Even more impressive is you get all this in a remarkably compact, lightweight and stylish enclosure for effortless handling and set up.  Under the hood you'll find an efficient Class D power module that pumps out 1000 watts of clean, distortion-free sound with crisp highs and deep, rich lows.

With 90 degrees of coverage, the K10's woofer drives low frequencies down to 56Hz making it ideal for a wide range of applications including DJing or live reinforcement of instruments, especially in smaller venues. Paired with a K Series subwoofer there's not much this speaker can't handle. Equally comfortable as a stage monitor, the K10 enclosure has an angled side for use as a low-profile, horizontal wedge and a flat side for proper side-fill use.

Processing Technology
QSC incorporates several proprietary DSP technologies into the K10, including Digital Extension and Excursion Processing (DEEP). DEEP allows K10 to deliver levels of low-frequency extension previously impossible in enclosures of this size. Another innovation is Intrinsic Correction, which uses dozens of spatially-averaged measurements mapped to the processor to deliver smooth and accurate reproduction across the entire sound field. Preventing amplifier clipping or overload is QSC's proprietary GuardRail technology, which monitors the input voltage and controls the amplifier output stage before the onset of clipping. 

Connectivity & Monitoring
The back of the K10 features two XLR-combi inputs, each with its own level control. Both accommodate line-level inputs and one may be switched to microphone level sensitivity. Phono (RCA) input jacks are also included for connection of consumer electronics sources. Dual XLR outputs are provided for dual "loop-thru" XLR/M connectors and a single XLR jack is available as a summed output. All three input sources may be used at once and mixed via the two gain control knobs. In addition, user EQ controls are provided to select between different subwoofer settings. For installed applications, connecting a commonly available potentiometer to the unit's Euroblock connector allows the operator to have gain control from a remote location. Multiple K Series units can be daisy-chained together to one centralized control. 

Suspension and Mounting
The K10 may be pole-mounted, suspended, or yoke-mounted. The K10 yoke accessory kit (not included) allows for either horizontal or vertical yoke mounting, providing a flexible means of attaching K Series loudspeakers to a building structure or truss. When suspended deployment is required, M10 threaded inserts support vertical or horizontal suspension, while the integral polemount socket accommodates 35 mm speaker poles for use on a speaker stand or over a sub. The pole socket is designed so that the speaker may be angled down 7.5 degrees in order to cover the audience while keeping acoustic energy off reflective walls and ceilings.

    I was glad to find this at Guitar Center. I know this is an older model. I needed a matching pair for my lonely K10, and finally, my budget allowed me to purchase one more matching speaker. The reason I purchased this one over the older model, was because I love my older model. I have had the older k10 for a little over 4 years now, and it is still operating great! This speaker has lasted me through good, and tough times! I have used this speaker heavily, and it has survived some reckless usage from people that borrow it. The old speaker has withstood some bad treatment, and it is functioning 100%. So yes, I am excited to have this newer speaker. I used it last night, and there are no complaints I have about it. It is worth every penny!

  • Great Product. Sounds amazing. I would buy this again and re

    I use this in my home studio for multiple uses. It has been the best sound I have ever purchased with the ability to use it in multiple applications. Could not ask for anything better.

  • Superb sound, ease of use and an outstanding performer.

    I am a professional a/v, installer. These speakers were suggested to me by Phillip from Guitar Showcase in San Jose, CA, and I could not be happier, because my clients are ecstatic with the performance of these speakers, plus the installation of these speakers is very easy compared to many of the other speakers at this level of performance.

  • Excelent sound!!

    Overall very happy with these speakers. Make sure you use Line input of using with a mixing board. I run mine at about 3/4 volume on the back dial. 3:00 on the dial. I just fine I never push them all the way and this cuts down the noise level perfectly. I current have 3 and getting another one for my live rig. 2 mains, 2 monitors. I would even use the fourth as a side fill/sub as the bass on these are amazing and running just the kick and bass through an aux to this with the DEEP setting switch on back would be perfect until a sub gets added to my rig.

  • Great for Stage Monitor

    I needed a quality Stage Monitor and I found it in the K10. Compact enough for small stage footprints and loud, clean sound with no feedback due to it's headroom. At 1,000 watts it can also be used as a Main for small venues. It's heavy compared to other Monitors but that is where the sound comes from.
