Why you need the QSC K12 12" Powered PA Speaker

The QSC K Series is quite simply the new standard in lightweight powered loudspeaker systems. Under the direction of Pat Quilter, QSC's team of amplifier engineers have created a new standard in Class D power modules unparalleled in the industry. Next, breaking from the traditional loudspeaker paradigm, all full-range models (K8, K10, K12) are fitted with the identical 1.75" high-frequency (HF) device for unparalleled performance, regardless of speaker size. Extensive digital signal processing (DSP) is employed throughout, providing levels of sonic clarity and total output that defy the system's size and weight. Premium-grade materials, advanced construction processes and multiple mounting and suspension options allow for a wide range of live and installed applications.

  • 3 year factory warranty 
  • Lightweight design for all mobile applications while still delivering quality sound  
  • This speaker is a wedge designed so it can be used as a floor monitor
  • Equipped with a multifunctional functional interface which can be used as part as a system or stand alone with 2 separate inputs for audio and microphones 
  • QSC Deep Switch feature adds more depth to your sound 
  • The input for the speaker in a standard 1” 3/8 inch    

Perfect for the traveling, solo, or beginning musician performing in intimate and often unprepared and unequipped venues, this portable speaker delivers the same high quality sound you would expect from a larger loudspeaker at a fraction of the size.

The K12 12” Powered PA Speaker is the solution for performing or practicing in small spaces due to its unparalleled performance and durable, compact design. As part of the QSC K Series, the K12 guarantees quality, portability, and reliability and has the “punchiest sound and highest sound pressure level” out of the four speakers in the QSC K compact series.

Quality

Sound quality is a musician’s number one concern, and QSC constructed the K12 with that in mind. The K12 has a 1.75” diaphragm compression driver for quality sound, a 90 degree nominal coverage angle and 35 mm pole sockets with Tilt-Direct for easily customizable sound coverage, an onboard mixer, and extensive DSP including DMT™, Intrinsic Correction™, DEEP™, and GuardRail™ for enhanced system performance. Audiences will be blown away by the quality of sound emanating from such a subtle speaker and your performance space won’t be overwhelmed by equipment, giving you, and the crowd, more room to move around.

Portability

Musicians spend about 1/3 of their lifetime packing, unpacking, and setting up equipment. The K12 eases the process with its lightweight design, compact size, and comfortable ergonomic handles for easy lifting and carrying. The K12 helps you avoid the wheels, ramps, and back problems usually associated with travel and setup.

Reliability

As a portable piece of equipment, the K12 was designed to live an active, vagabond lifestyle. Due to its ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, aka the same material used for constructing football helmets) enclosures and 16-gauge powder coated steel grille, the K12 can handle the wear and tear of travel while maintaining an attractive and professional appearance. In addition to its durability, the K12 12” comes with a 6 year factory warranty.

  • 12” Woofer; 1.75” diaphragm compression driver
  • 90° Nominal coverage angle
  • Maximum SPL 131 dB peak
  • 1000 watt continuous Class D power modules in all models
  • Onboard mixer with two combo XLR and ¼” inputs, and stereo RCA inputs, (three audio input sources); two direct channel outputs and single summed balanced output
