QSC K-Series KSub Application-Features & Benefits

Forgive the A/V quality on this one-I was excited to show the QSC KSubs in action at an event and all we had around to film this was the iPhone. This video shows off the KSub, its size, functionality, ease of use, and versatility.

hey what do the mic and line switch on the k12 do? i dont want to bust anything so i havent switched anything yet

[BassIsLoadedDJ]

@dejavu3552 It's a switch that will help your microphone sound better when you're using a mic directly plugged into a K-Series speaker. Mic & Line levels are very different levels. For instance, if you were pushing loud music through a speaker and then switched from Line to Mic, you would blast everybody and possibly do some damage at high volumes.

@BassIsLoadedDJ thanks so much yeah it got really loud but we didnt have anything playing so we were saved lol also i got another question, how do i get more bass to come through on my subs i have the gain set to twelve and pretty much crank it on the mixer i dont want to blow anything so im trying to play it safe

@dejavu3552 You can definitely bring the gain up a bit on the KSub to see if it sounds a little boomier. Each room/venue will be slightly different. You can't really do any damage to it. When you push the KSub too hard you will begin to notice that it starts to struggle a bit and sound different and that's the point you have to ease up on it a little bit. Try experimenting with the DEEP mode to see what sounds best too.

Do you think that two k bass will be better than one 18 speaker? why please?

[BassIsLoadedDJ]

@nortru That all comes down to personal opinion, the types of events you do, and the venue.

@turoniner The KSub outputs send out a signal identical to what is coming in, so expect to get a full range output. To get a summed mono signal, this either has to be both the left and right inputs going into the KSub from the mixer, OR a mono signal coming from your mixer and into one side or the other of the KSub.

[turoniner]

How do you get a summed mono signal if you daisy chain? Aren't the ksub outputs just mids and highs?

@P1001AT2 Distortion is something you'd normally either hear immediately or not at all. You shouldn't just start to hear it after a few minutes. I would say this all comes down to what you're playing and what mixer you're using. There is an enormous difference from one mixer to the next. 3/4 on the QSC's seems a bit high. Most of the time you can run them at 12:00 (unity) and then adjust your gains and Master out accordingly. Sounds like your gains are set fine. Weird.
