Love them

clear, clean, powerful, love them.

QSC K10

I was looking for something for live performances that reproduced clear, quallity music and brought out clear, intelligible, great frequency response for voice, with quality volume. The QSC K10 did just that. It blew me away! My friends also were very impressed.

Lots of sound from a small package

The K Series are simply amazing. Perfect for any mobile sound needs. For very small applications, you don't even need a mixer. You can plug in a microphone and an RCA device straight into the back of the speaker and go to work.

Best PA speaker ever used

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 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.

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 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!

I made the correct choice!

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 have been using the jbl jrx15's for several years. The jbl is a good speaker for the bucks, but is not in the same class as the k 10. 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

exactly what I was looking for`

Exceptional power to size ratio. Clarity and presence. Lightweight. Convenient I/O options. The only thing better would be a would cabinet, but the KW series was out of my budget and weight constraints. Couldn't be happier with the K10's.

Everything they say...

These things are so far above any other passive or powered speakers that I've used. I am a solo act (acoustic guitar and vocals) and I use a pair of K10s with the Allen & Heath ZED10FX mixer and I have to say that its a pleasure doing gigs with this set up. 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.

These are the real deal.

I used these for one man show using backing tracks, guitar and vocals. This all you will need for average gigs, inside or out. I have a great business relationship with one of the engineers. This guy has the time to make sure you are happy with the gear, suggest ideas if you have questions and always making sure that your purchase is what you want and need. I have bought thousands of dollars of gear from Musicians Friend and American Musical Supply. Prices will be the same but you are going to get true customer service here at Sweetwater.

The purest sound I ever heard

I use this piece of gear for mobile dj and live gigs, the first time I turn them on and listened to it, this sounded exactly like a studio monitor with a perfect balance in sound and clarity. For me, it just sounds better than my studio monitors and they are better than any high end hifi gear, also for domestic use. My bose system sounds like a cheap installation in comparison with the QSC and I don(t compare about the volume, just the quality of sound.

Amazing Speaker

I'm absolutely blown away by the clarity and power of these speakers. Over the years, I've used a bunch of different powered speakers, and full PA's, and these are by far above and beyond everything (especially in their price range). 1,000 WATTS is no joke, and it shows the pure power of what they can do.

The K10's plus the KSUB's I feel are one of the best combinations you can buy. You get a larger speaker than the K8's, but a wider spread than the K12, making it one of the best live speaker combos you'll find.

I play primarily as a duo, but even with a band, add a sub and you'll be blown away by the power.

I use this speaker with an Allen and Heath mixer, and the combination of the two can't be beat. You will not be dissapointed with any of the three speakers in the K Series line up. (K8, K10, or K12).

Thanks sweetwater!

great speakers

I recently bought a set of these after trying several other big name speakers ....WOW !!! I use them now for solo gigs as well as with a 4 piece band...at 31 pounds each ..they are easy on the back and great on the ears !! They are perfect for anyone who is tired of lugging heavy gear. I used them in a small bar recently with 4 piece band...I had more than enough headroom and the clarity of each instrument was terrific. ... and I only use one for small solo gigs... if you are not sure ..try them ..I did, and I'm keeping my set!!

This powered speaker puts all acoustic guitar amps to shame

I consider my use of this speaker somewhat non-standard in that I'm not using it as a PA system, but hopefully there are others that can benefit from my experience.

I was initially looking for an acoustic guitar amp for live use in a four piece rock and roll band. I run piezo saddles in my electric guitar and switch between or sometimes layer the piezo and magnetic pickup signals (each signal goes to a different amp). I quickly found however that none of the standard acoustic guitar amplifiers could keep up with the band or even my 40 watt tube amp. So after speaking with my Sales Engineer, I decided to try the K10. I was actually going to go with the K8, but that cabinet is not configured for stage monitor orientation.

So the K10 arrives and I plug in my piezo rig, which consists of a Boss AD-8. First of all, I noticed the extremely clean sound. 20-20k, clean, balanced and quiet. Then I noticed how incredibly loud this speaker can get. So much so that it overpowered my tube amp, which was definitely a first. No matter how I eq'd the AD-8, the speaker delivered and it never went into clipping. Even with the volume on the speaker and my pre-amp dimed, it seemed as though the speaker never broke a sweat. At one point I was seeking more cut than my pre-amp could deliver, so I switched the K10 eq into "vocal" and holy smokes that was exactly what the doctor ordered.

I've had some past experience withe JBL's first gen EON and the first gen Mackie SRM450 and while those were great speakers, this just blows them away. This speaker is smaller, lighter, more powerful and better sounding; very smooth from bottom to top. And there are more ins and outs and overall control on this speaker than you could ever need. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this purchase. Thank you Sweetwater for making the suggestion; you guys actually do know about the gear you sell and I am extremely impressed!

GOOD SPEAKER, GREAT VALUE

THE K10'S SOUND GREAT, BUT SEEM TO FEEDBACK VERY EASILY DUE TO THE WIDE ANGLE OF SOUND THE PRODUCE. I WOULD RECCOMEND THE 12'S FOR INDOOR LIVE SOUND AS THEY HAVE A TIGHTER ANGLE. (75 VERSUS 90 DEGREES)
PREVIOUSLY USED MAKIE SRM450'S AND THERE IS NO COMPARISON. THE SOUND CLARITY AND QUALITY IS AMAZING, BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO MIC THE KICK DRUM AND BASS AMP I RECCOMEND EXTERNAL SUBS. THE BUILT IN CROSSOVERS MAKE SETUP SO EASY. THEY ALSO HAVE DROP SET UP AND SOUND CHECK TIME FOR A 6 PIECE BAND TO LESS THAN 40 MINUTES. (KEYS, ACOUSTIC GUITARS, ELECTIRIC, BASS, DRUMS, HORNS AND VOCALS)
I THINK THE GRILLES ARE A LITTLE CHEAP AND THE XLR 1/4 COMBO JACKS SEEM LOOSE WHEN CONNECTED TO XLR CABLES.

own one and it let me down

Was using it as a bass amp to play through the pa never over taxed it just simple stage volume playing small clubs and the speaker blew not happy goin back to conventional bass amp cant trust it. Sucks because it worked for 2 years with no problems , should have stuck with a JBL product
