Installed Sound

01 - Introduction

A system integrator's goal is to provide the best audio and video solutions possible. An end-user desires the highest level of performance and sophistication while keeping the system simple to operate. QSC Audio has developed a solution to achieve both of these goals. The K Family's sonic consistency and visual appearance, combined with a wealth of deployment options, allows each loudspeaker to be utilized in a number of ways, making K Family the "go-to tool kit" for many fixed installation projects.

02 - Installer's toolkit

The K Family was built with an overarching goal -Create a loudspeaker line with all models sharing the same design and accuracy of sound. This allows models to be mixed and matched within any installation.

03 - Active system advantage

QSC's loudspeaker, amplifier and digital signal processing engineers worked in tandem, all under one roof, to create K Family active loudspeaker systems. All three model lines were designed to work together, ensuring perfect audio harmony and maximum performance. K Family loudspeakers’ finely calibrated DSP optimizes performance while also protecting the amplifier and transducers.

04 - Eliminates amp racks and amp rooms

K Family eliminates the need for amp racks and air-conditioned amp rooms. Because everything is wired and temperature-controlled within each unit, users can eliminate hours of wiring and assembling custom amp racks, saving time and money.

05 - Power efficiency

A big advantage of utilizing K Family loudspeakers in an installation is their incredibly efficient power draw - a benefit of the Class D amplifier. This amp module is so efficient that up to five K Family loudspeakers can be powered from a single 15amp, 120 volt AC circuit. In periods of non-use, K Family loudspeakers automatically enter standby mode, making your installation energy efficient.

06 - Remote gain control

Integrated remote gain control allows a clean and simple method of controlling the output level of your K Family installation using just a simple 10k ohm wall mount pot.

07 - DMT

Let's take a look at the conventional approach to waveguide design vs QSC's Directivity Matched Transition (DMT), and how it applies to a typical performance venue.

08 - Flexible deployment options

K Family loudspeakers offer a number of flexible deployment options. All 2- and 3-way models feature integrated M10 fittings for flown applications. Two-way K-Series models can also be mounted to a wall, truss, ceiling beam, or other suitable structure via optional yoke mounts. KLA can be installed with or without the optional array frame.

09 - Conclusion

The QSC K Family of active loudspeakers is your "go to" loudspeaker solution.
