From Our Research Team:

Raises the PA Speaker Bar!

We'll sum up the QSC K10 in a word: "WOW." When QSC came out to Sweetwater to let us hear their brand-new K Series of speakers, we could hardly believe our ears. These extremely lightweight, 1,000W powerhouses will redefine your expectations of how a PA speaker should sound. They're loud, yes. But they have the kind of balance and clarity you expect to find in only the best studio monitors. Factor in the wide dispersion so everyone in the audience can hear, and you sound better than ever before with the QSC K10. But they get better.





QSC packed in tailored EQ switches and DSP, so you can adjust the K10's sound to whatever you're doing. Our favorite is the DEEP switch. Flip it on, and you've got unbelievable bass response... from a 10" speaker. You can always add in a sub if you need to take your sound any lower. Use the Vocal Boost to give the mid-frequency area more presence or keep it flat for "what goes in is what comes out" honesty. Other clever touches include the switchable LED light. Keep the front-mounted LED powered on when you want to give yourself a cool look onstage, but when discreet is the name of the game you can switch it off — no problem. You can even have the LED work as a Clip Limiter Circuit indicator, so the sound engineer knows what's going on, even from the back of the room.

What's the story on the I/O side of things? The QSC K10's combo XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs accept both Mic and Line Level input while a set of RCA phono inputs make it easy to hook up your portable MP3 players, CD players, and line-level mixers. Up to three audio sources can be mixed internally and summed to a balanced output for "daisy-chaining" of multiple units — very handy. Plus separate direct outputs are also provided on each channel for even more flexibility.

When you're ready to step up the sound of your PA system, the QSC K Series is the place to start. Sound that rivals studio monitors, 1,000W performance from an amazingly lightweight speaker, and helpful features that keep you sounding your best... set yourself up with the pro-caliber QSC K10.

Best PA speaker ever used

by Pete Maly from Pismo Beach, Ca.
November 29, 2011
Music Background: Live sound engineer
I have been mixing live sound for bands big and small, large venue and small, indoors and out, tried most of the good brands, but never heard such a clean, sweet, natural sound. Everything I plugged ... read more [+]in raw from a 58 to a Martin Concert guitar, to an iPod, never sounded so real, clean, natural, punchy, powerful, with excellent sound at low to mid volumes,(100 db or less). Haven't tried pushing bass through yet. Even though the 10s put out a rich bass vibe, I likely will add subs for larger venues. close [-]

Pricy, but Well Worth It!

This is a fantastic speaker. If you're serious about high quality sound in a small, light weight case, this is the way to go. I'm a P.E.teacher that uses music all the time in my gym classes. I had... read more [+] been using a Samson XP-300. It was a good speaker, but broke down twice in the first 2 years (poorly soldered wiring.) It also weighed a ton. Moving to this model is like going from a cathode ray tube television to a flat screen LED! Two solid built-in handles are a nice touch. Once again, the sound is super full and rich. Can't be beat! close [-]

I debated over several other brands, but I couldn't be happier with the k 10. This speaker is very clear sounding and made my acoustic guitar and vocal sound amazing!

I love their weight, features and they are LOUD! I intend to purchase a second k 10 in the near future. Finally, Sweetwater was a pleasure to deal with! Thanks close [-]

Music Background: weekend warrior, working on first solo original record.
These things are so far above any other passive or powered speakers that I've used.

I got the bags for the speakers too which I would highly recommend. These speakers are LOUD when they have to be (I use them outside sometimes) but also perfect for the restaurants and small clubs I play. Great sound, looks and easy to carry. close [-]
