QSC K12's SOUND CHECK with JBL JRX125 Dual 15" 2-Way Speaker Cabinet + Crown XTI1000

[mustafa1984455]

GAVE ME JBL ALL DAY LONG AND I HAVE BEEN PLAYING A LONG TIME SINCE I WAS 18 AND I AM 47

[petrusmalk]

Great Sound!

[CarlosFlo94]

Meh my crap JRX sound more clearer than yours o.O IDK that's me loaded with the DriveRack PA+ and RMX 2450, but either way I used my MRX series :P

[TheNikola0nikola]

Saying that they have 500w on the compression driver is simple marketing trick(everyone does that this days).They use the same 500w amplifier for both drivers(it improves logistics/spare parts management) but the amp it is limited by the DSP to no more than 100w continues power. If you want to improve your JRX125 buy another XTi1000 and use both amps in bridged mode, set the processor inside the XTi to not go below 40Hz and waste SPL energy. And last: upgrade to Selenium compression drivers.2/2

[mike71flores]

@TheNikola0nikola exactly....spend more money....no thanks

[TheNikola0nikola]

Only ONE Crown XTI1000 simply is not enough for driving two JRX125. Second, comparing JRX125 with K12 is like comparing family sedan car and Comanche state of the art helicopter. Both brilliant for what they are designed to do but totally non-comparable. Compare K12 with PRX612M, both are Bi-Amp and they don't have typical crossover, instead they have proprietary DSP crossover/equalization for getting maximum results from each driver inside the speaker box. 1/2

[mike71flores]

@TheNikola0nikola qsc by far....i've had both...

[Malaikatrendy]

Jbl's need to be at same height. Just sayin'.

[polandftw]

i'm planning on buying some k12's but i was wondering if they have enough bass for more raving type music, i know they ddont have subs but still have a lot of bass

[TheBunny602]

A mike flores, Im planning on getting two JBL Jrx 125 Duel 15's. this will be my first pair of pro audio i ever get, so could you tell me that there great sound, basically would you recommend them to me . i was wondering, by the way the Complainments of being to loud, would you say it was loud in a good way. or bad way, seriously i couldnt tell how they sound like. i hear it on computer speakers, you hear it right in front of you, well please help me out, people that did comments too help me out

[macman2256]

Just started using a set of the K12 and K181's, god they sound fantastic, the highs are so crisp.

[DjBobbyLosAngeles]

Are QSC k '12s powered?....and what do you think of the jbl srx, prx, and mrx seriers? And of the Eon series? Particulararly the new 515XT?

[DJJASONPRODUCER]

@DjBobbyLosAngeles srx series are good but u need amps and stuff prx i love there sub xlf thats why i got 4 and 2 k12s =] mrx jrx eon NO!

[mike31jmb]

Everytime I see this video it makes me 1. smile and 2. cringe at that muddy mess those JBL's are putting out.

[lonskii]

Thank you for the VDO. I just bought a pair of QSC, glad i made the right decision. ;)

[99693254]

yo u think 2 k12s with a kw 181 sub will cover a 200 person hall thts about 2 stories high and will still shake the place or no

[mike71flores]

@99693254 I did a hugh KC hall in El Campo, Tx with 2k12's and 2 KW18's and it was plenty. I've seen the big speaker rigs place in the same place and it was too loud to the point of not being able to talk. I'm all about quality of sound not quantity...and My main goal is to provide good sound for the dance floor in front of me, not the entire hall....

[99693254]

@mike71flores oh k so i should be good then

[bennyboytx]

I hope the laptop isn't the source of your audio...

[mike71flores]

@bennyboytx yes it is....It can provide higher quality audio than a CD player....

[AriaArvan]

Awesome video it really helped a lot and so I appreciated this video very much and now I know for sure the QSC K-12 is the best speakers for me to buy ^_^

thumb up for this great video and thanks for taking time and posting it. I will add and subscribe your channel!

have a beautiful one.

[djgraysoundandmusic]

You were over driving the jbl's by far. The qsc's sound awesome. Have 8 of them

[moy0429]

I run two JBL SRX738 as my mains, two JBL MRX515 as delay speakers, two peavey qwave 218 as subs, a JBL SRX715 as a center speaker, and 5 JBL SRX712M for stage monitors, and i got 7 Croxn XTI4000 amps powering it all

[mike71flores]

@moy0429 How much did all that cost you?

[moy0429]

@mike71flores well with tht and my whole set up wit my mixer and rack gear about 27,000 around there

[mike31jmb]

@mike71flores must be for a band... but with powered speakers these days why??? They sound just as good get just as loud and are twice as easy to lug around. If I were in a band that needed all that and didn't use line array I'd call myself an idiot! OH, and you can get powered line array's as well. People need to let go of the old and grab hold of the new!

[longthetiger99]

Drop in a Selenium D220ti in the horn on the jbl's and watch out! they will decimate the qsc cabs i give mine 1200w all night long with some corrective eq and they rock the qsc cabs are nice but for the money there is better out there they still have a lot to learn about the speaker business that jbl is king of. also to note the JBL cabs open up at near rms wattage and are wicked around 1000watts where the qsc cabs become harsh at full volume. maintaining smooth response at high levels the key.

[onstagedjkj]

I couldn't have watched this video at a better time. I've been using the JBL JRX's for about 4 years now. for smaller gigs, I use powered Behringer B215A's. Which sound great actually. But I've been checking out the K12's at guitarcenter. I'm buying 4 of them in 2 weeks. I'm also looking into buying 4 of the Kseries subs as well. Good vid bud!

[garygonzales35]

Nobody should get complaints if u know how to control ur sound levels with the proper EQ, and compression. EQ the JBLs, RIGHT, and u can get them to sound like the QSC K12.

[vickianddallasBFF]

.now i see the diffriend.k 12 sound alot cleaer and tider bass.

thanks for the video post man.

[DJMisT0910]

i use 4 jbl jrx 125s with 2 crown cti6000 s and they are amaxing just stack them and you got a cheap array system i love them

[mike71flores]

@DJMisT0910 I have a JBL JRX718s Subwoofer for sale if your interested, very light use. Excellent condition.

[g3o5d]

Not a good comparison. You need to vs. against powered Spkrs like the JBL PRX Series or the E-V Sx-A Series. You'll get a much better sound comparison. The QSCs are fairly good however. I think of the three listed they one of the lowest priced.

[xXCarloz94Xx]

You need to juice up the JRX 125s with a amp that has serious power and EQ them really bad :P

[mike71flores]

@xXCarloz94Xx they sound terrible....hurts your ears

[jearley2424]

looking at these at the moment saving my £s but my old back needs these light 1000w speakers

[1djvibez]

cool....I have the exact same JBLs...they're insane!!

[funkfactor1]

do you really need 500 watts for the compression driver? my kv2 ex10"s had just 50 very efficient watts for the HF and 450 for the LF, they ran happily all day at 128 DB, totally awesome! these tops sound nice, wasnt impressed at all with the subs when i heard them

[a2dds]

dam 500w compression!? that will get you some clarity :D

[spinmoney101]

k series sound a lot clearer than jbls, but jbls kick more.. probably the reason for those two.. it complimenets eachother. I have two dual 15 yamahas mostly for bottom and two EV ex1 for tops and it sounds fantastic!

[FrodeFlodhest]

How are the JBL's? Are they okay for smaller parties like 100-150 people without needing a sub?=)

[juah75]

Please help me. I need pair of speakers fo a mobile DJ. QSC K12's or JBL EON 515's?

[juah75]

I need a pair of powered speaker for a mobile dj, please help me. QSC K12's or JBL EON 515's

[DjGulio]

@juah75 ..QSC HPR SERIES..K12 don't hit as hard..the HPR series have birch wood and can handle a good bass with out rattle...check out the qsc hpr 122i...better than the K12..

[DjDadeo]

@juah75

K 12s buddy all day long I had 2 Eon 515s with a Eon 518 base box and did not care for the performance of them at all.

[doraysmith]

QSC by far

[zchur]

I used 4 k12s in a club that uses 4 JBL JRX with dual 15 and I could not believe the K12s did the job. The club ask me to use my system since their amplifiers had some problems that night. In less than 30 mins we had the system running. The Ksub had little impact though. I am waiting for the release of the KW181.

[DJDreamME]

JBL's Jrx Model really are that bad QSC Much cleaner less Eq'ing needed & it handles very well with high SPLs JBL just made the JRX Models for a quck buck & marketed for people that dont know any audio or on a serious budget..

[kasaeste]

hi. i'm in europa. sorry for my englese. were is manufactured qsc k 12 ?

[mike71flores]

@kasaeste google qsc to fine their website , it tells you all the information on manufacturing...too much infor to type in this small window...thanks

[FussyEntertainment]

I am not a fan of those JRX speakers. Only way I ever heard them sound decent is to cross them over and use a sub but that alone can make many crappy speakers sound much better. I would lose the JRX's and get some nice 18 inch powered subs. QSC has a KW series coming out so I would look at getting those 18's when they come out. I am waiting to see the 3-way speaker in this series. Currently I'm running Mackie 1232 and B-52 dual 18 with Peavey CS 3000 and looking to build up a nice 2nd setup

[boots265]

jbl suck

[ac23AQ]

@boots265 , Id like to see you whip out some MJ Bitch!.

[Djcarolina18]

Are those Martin Egos?

[mike71flores]

they are the chinese versions purchased from cheaplights , just google cheaplights......

[Djcarolina18]

Good stuff, we've ordered from them before. Is the star cluster laser also one of their products or did you go with the Chauvet brand product?

[kcorpetti14]

What you need is to EQ better. The JBL's are handling more mids than the K12. Trust me, if you lower the mids, you'll get a better sound from the JBL's.

[OneStopDiscos]

Wow, there was such a difference... I always think of buying less stuff but alway the better stuff because long term it would be better..

[bign1994]

hey there i wanted to know between QSC JBL and Mackie which one is the best one to buy?

[mike71flores]

depends on what your going to be using them for. Each one has it's pro's and cons, price and weight, etc..

[bign1994]

well i am working on become a mobile dj im still in training and want to know what equipment to get. also i doubt i will be using turntables i will just be using virtual dj. i will be doing parties and weddings and so im just curious as to which one is best value for the money i will be paying for some start up speakers

[samnglen]

What are you pushing the JRX's with? Just wanted to know, is it just one Xti 1000 amp to both? Thanks

[mike71flores]

xti 1000 in stereo mode that's underpowering the JBL's

[samnglen]

So you have it bridged??

[mike71flores]

this setup was in stereo.

[SuperWeng10]

yeah K12 sounds betteryou can hear the difference..

[LightRig]

Never liked JRX (mainly as it sounds crap) and this is a very good example of why.

[nekkon2002]

Crap in what way? I've never had any complains. I run 2 of these and 4 verwin Junior Earthquake. They pretty much do the job better than average. Prob you need to read the spec on them.

[ladjkaoz]

with the right power amps.. Xover and some tuning you got it right!!!...

[amdchiptrooper]

wanted to let you know i got the k12 series. They do sound very awesome! Im not happy with QSC running around saying this is a 1000W amp on it. I think its peak watt. The QSC HPR line is RMS ratting power. big diffrence. match it with a hpr181i and it is amazing :)

[tubejojo123]

500 watt compression driver?That must be one of a kind!!

[peterwo2e]

here it goes guys i got the k10s 2 months now and they are loud, at 36 pounds each and speaker stand and cables all for 1399 bucks, they have good lows with a selector switch on the back, for the weight class they are top dog,,

[garciadj10]

nobody give me a good anwser ...

[misdjs]

si quieres un buen bajo, quiza la ksub no sea para ti, ya que para mi, no levanta tanto como las vocinas. la ksub trae dos 12's quiza una 15 o dos se escuche mejor, y unas 18's pues aun mejor!

[Activethrasher00]

i like the JBL better. much fuller sounding

[mysticradio]

go to sweetwater and notice JBL lowered the price of PRX series almost to K12 prices... why? Cause they know for weight and sound they are beat by QSC.... the engineers at sweetwater are IN LOVE with K12s.... so JBL got nervous and lowered the price and STILL they dont sound as good. the only speaker that will beat a K12 is mackie HD series.. but they are 100lbs.... I have to say the HD's are a very good price for the wattage they put out.

[garciadj10]

oye mi ke me gustaria saber si tu as probado el qsc ksub me gustaria saber que tan bien suena porque quiero comprar un subwoofer

[peterwo2e]

ill go for the k10 hope they sound as nice as those 12's, weight is a factor for me,, i have colum old school speakers about 100 pounds with celestions . a piece not to mention my qsc 18 inch sub,, wich ill have to keep using,,but with my sub and the k 10's  this shit has to be awesome,

[patoyross83]

Vaya comparación, metele una etapa de 1000w por canal a 4 ohms a las jbl que es lo que jbl recomienda y no una xti 1000 que solo entrega 500w a 1khz.

Totalmente injusta tu prueba.

Ademas, la jbl con un pequeño upgrade de driver, por ejemplo el de la serie mrx, mejoraria mucho, y tiene unos graves que no tiene la K12 por mucho que te pongas.

[savingreg]

Whose assemblage??? Whether there are they of the American assemblage???

[savingreg]

And it is real??? Rated power??? Not the peak???

[savingreg]

In them it is real 1000 watt???

[mike71flores]

500watts on the woofer and 500watts on the tweeter ...

[savingreg]

And where ruler K is collected? In China??? It does not confuse you??? Tell more about it... Whether it is necessary to order to Ukraine from America??? This holiday is sounded K12 without SUBs??? On how many their person will suffice... Excuse for my English language, I from Ukraine... Thanks

[mysticradio]

Got K12's today... HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY.

[Koshy1]

its bad when you can tell such a big difference in sound on the youtube video. I use to run Dual 15's then Mackie 15 active subs and tops.. The Ksub / K 10 combo blows em all away

[MichalS295]

what're the songs in the movie?

[mysticradio]

JBL'S sounded nasally in comparison.... QSC WINS

[patoyross83]

Jbl needs more power to eplode and best sounding, a xti 1000 is a little amp to jrx125.

[musicman257]

very cool set up man.sounded awsome i used the dcmkx212 with a large horn wired into the midrange and sounds great.they have 2 12 inch woofers.really kick .your jbls did the same thing very clear to,awsome are you getin any turntables in the future

[sakeebforlife]

would a xti 4000 be a good amp to power 2 jbl jrx 125? what amp are you using?

[patrickman123]

the xti 4000 is a perfect match for 2 jbl jrx 125 speakers

[eatborkpants]

@patrickman123 Its not.

[amdchiptrooper]

Thanks a bunch for this sound off. Very cool, granted on my computer speakers, it doesnt do any justice; you can still tell that the highs and mids was superior on those little boxes. Kinda wishing i purchased the k12's instead!!! :P

[odavila78]

Thanks for the comparison Mike. Through the camera, it sounds like the QSC had better definition and the bass was impressive. Did they sound like that live doing the comparison?

[mike71flores]

yes, only had them turned up halfway too...they really made a good box...

[jimg76]

Great charity event. Did you tell everyone to deal with the jbls being too loud? After all, it was CHARITY!

[mike71flores]

yea, but it was a ear hurting loud..not a clean sound....when you can't talk to the person standing next to you it just no fun....never had this problems with QSC though...man I sound like a commercial..

[jimg76]

I'm a big fan of the qsc's. I recently bought the qsc hpr151 sub. What a huge difference it made when using with my peavey pr12p's

[jasperibe]

I think the only product that could possibly compare to the QSC K Series of speakers are Dynacord's in quality/power/size but I think the price is a major deciding factor.

Damn Mike, I was gonna get those K12's in the fall!!!!

[mike71flores]

yea, the dynacords made in germany would be my dream setup , but still a little on the high side of money...i think you drop like 8k for that setup we saw in vegas...

[fivestarentny]

The Dynacord sets are the best...the Cobra systems and the PowerMax 5 are great deals when you factor in that they include the amps and processing and also the quality of the speakers.

[djalbert2684]

wow qsc sound is crispy clean compare to those jrx

[mike71flores]

i know that's right.

[djbigron]

damn the qsc kicked jbl's ass

[mike71flores]

the crowd thought so too....hands down...

[aoenj]

what camera are you using.

great vid.

[mike71flores]

CANON HV20

[sainifabulous]

wow huge difference in the camera

with the jbls vs the qsc

but of course its the jrx thats bottom line of them you should compare them against the prx or srx towers

[mike71flores]

CANON HV20

[djmarioproaudio]

where are your skirts or faldas!!! anyway nice setup

[mike71flores]

When the lights go out you can't see anything but lights...I was THE MC...another DJ was handling the music...it was all for charity...it was all good..
