QSC K12 - **NEW** 1000 Watt Powered Speaker - Pro, Studio, DJ

[Camcorders360]

we've clipped the k12s before. we had music running through a mixer, with the knobs all the way up, mixer volumes about 75%, music, wireless mic, all at a rally in the school gym. the k12s clipped when the mic was really shouted into. the red limit lights on the back are hard to miss when they come on ;)

@DJKAVELLYMUSIK

$1600 for the pair. $800 for 1.

[1drumcovercritic1]

that XLR cable shuld be plugged into the B channel, you're going to blow the speaker

[missle25]

@1drumcovercritic1 how do you figure that?

[shanekerchen]

Am I able to run speakon cables with this?

[agiprodj]

@shanekerchen Speakon connection is for a non-powered speaker. The Speakon connection is for using a power amplifier with a passive speaker.

[AriaArvan]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video!. I have been searching and searching and Now I set my mind on which speakers to buy. I sure will buy the QSC K-12 in few days and I'm so excited!. Thanks for sharing this awesome video with us! thumb up!

[CE750]

these are great speakers, but I was very disappointed that for the high price they were made in China... but they're nice nevertheless.

[techubbs94]

im stupid but does daisy chain mean sent the line out from one speaker into the input of another

[agiprodj]

@techubbs94 Yes, exactly right. And no, not stupid, it's a very good question.

[P1001AT2]

what is the backround music

[Zhorellski]

This or those RCF?

[gamexpk4r01]

nice speakers 800$

[djchavalito]

nice speakers

[djchavalito]

nice speakers

[mikethecripper]

How much!!!!!!!!????

[djstorm1987]

Are those switches heavy duty? When I try to regulate the HF and LF switch it always feels like its about to break. The two holes that holds the HF switch aren`t as visible as my other speaker. Not sure if this may be a manufacture or im just downright picky

[agiprodj]

@djstorm1987 Not sure if we'd consider them heavy duty. But they have a definite locking position for each selection. Our staff has used these for events easily over a hundred times and the switches have done well, never broken, and always worked.

[rachelrobles91]

ok so how do i get the speakers to work for a mike through a europower pmp 3000 baringer mixer???

[DMXTVDallas]

Will I be able to connect these pair of speakers to a pair of JBL PRX515 speakers? Will I need some kind of extra hardware to run 4 speakers? I know nothing about speakers.

Thanks

[agiprodj]

@DMXTVDallas The beauty about powered speakers is that since the amp modules are contained within the speakers themselves, you can connect as many as you want with XLR (microphone) cables. Thanks for watching!

[juah75]

I'm looking for a set of powered speakers for my mobile dj. Please helpme whit this. JBL EON 15s or QSC K12s?

[agiprodj]

@juah75 drop us a line at sales at agiprodj dotcom and we'll give you our thoughts.

[yourchoicedj]

@juah75 I;ve had the Eon's and let me tell you. They dont even come close to these. I bought the K-12's and I dont think I have ever heard 12" speakers sound like this. Believe me, u will never look back. GET THE K-12'S I got them for $720.00 each, and them come with a 6 year warranty. where else can u get that kind of deal. u wont regret it.

[mesesay2]

@juah75 da qsc for sure rules

[Planetbinxs]

@juah75 I hope you made the decision to buy Jbl prx635

[londonito]

Ok Ty....is it really 1000 watts RMS? Most knowledgeable people are arguin is 1000 peak..please tell us what you know...either way I'm still interested in the K12s

[agiprodj]

@londonito Yes, that is an RMS rating. 500 watts on the high end and 500 watts on the low end.  Granted, you'll probably rarely (if ever) approach those numbers. Let us know when you're ready to pick up a pair!

[mysticradio]

ANY OF THEM............... K12s are the reason JBL brought down the price of the PRX SERIES.... nothing touches them for sound to weight to price ratio...... NOTHING

[jamescaptainfarrell]

Do you guys know if you can hook an unpowered monitor to one of the outs of the K12?

Sorry, I'm new to this PA stuff. I'm an acoustic guitarist using 2 mics, one for guitar, one for vocals into a mixer, into the QSC.

[djkouts]

@jamescaptainfarrell As far as i know u can't do that. The K12 and any self-powered speaker has an amp(s) dedicated for the speaker it self. Since u want to plug in another non-powered speaker u would need to link it up with an external amplifier. Hope i've been helpfull. Thank u.

[lowh20rd]

Just just bought the K10s and they sound outstanding. If your venue is not too large they will be fine. They sound so clean. In the future I'll probably add a Sub... although I will probably do something different from the K SUB. The bandpass design doesn't allow for a punchy bass. I'll check out the QSC 15" or 18"

[JVM113]

I was wondering, could anyone tell me if the "Deep Mode" provides enough bass on the k12 to be w/o a subwoofer. Im a mobile DJ and I want to upgrade my system (I currently have a pair of jbl jrx 125's) .

[mesesay2]

@JVM113 its depends to your venue, i do used my two 12s with my b52s at a big venue and just my two 12s on a smaller venue, its does sound good too

[savingreg]

In them it is real 1000 watt?????????????

[18hands]

yes it is in fact 500W RMS for the top and 500W RMS for the bottom.

[mysticradio]

i bought K12s yesterday... they blow EONS away...

im wondering if they will put more power in the HPR153I ?

[DJRhinofart]

Which EONS are you talking about?

[chiguy1113]

How does the K 12 compare against the EON 15? Not sure which one to get? Heard a lot of buzz on the K Series.

[mysticradio]

imagine 3 K12's per side and 3 ksubs perside....

or 2 K12 and one K10 widening the pattern on the end.... and 2 subs.. whooo

[st4plgun]

These work for electric guitars??

[ChaseElliottBand]

I noticed there is only a 8hz difference between the K10 and K12...is there any MAJOR discernible difference in sound quality between the two, or is it more of a matter of the horn directivity needed for your application? I intend to use a single K10 or K12 for solo acoustic gigs.

[jonpaulevans]

Amazing set of speaks - I bought mine in May and I love them!!!!!!!

[gesc1200]

WOW!! The back is loaded with options!!

I own HPR122i's and I will be definitely getting these.

[agiprodj]

I currently own a ton of Mackies, and I'm with you 100%. Based on the features of the K-series, these WILL be my next speaker. They are so versatile.

Thanks for watching...

[djphatd]

I'm guessing I can run the outs from my DJM 400 right into a couple of these right? I am looking for a system for my dj setup but don't wanna hassle with buying amps and speakers and additional stuff....I want a simple solution.

[agiprodj]

This is totally the way to go. Powered speakers provide so many benefits not only from a simplicity standpoint, but you can run a powered speaker virtually any distance you need to with long XLR cable runs, and if a speaker goes out, you've got the second one. If an amp goes out...you're done. This K-Series we feel is one of the best out there.

Thanks for watching...

~Rick

[ourbandiskurfew]

Hey, How do think these would stack up against the RCF ART 522

[Aldenif]

What about if you want some reverb effect for your vocals when singing live?? What must one do if to get these?

[Aldenif]

@Aldenif Have you looked up Boss or TC-helicon for vocal effects? Either of those is all you need to hook up to the powered speaker to get your vocal effects.
