This Compact PA Speaker Packs an Astounding 1,000 Watts!

Take a look at QSC's K12 powered PA speaker. Then take a listen. You won't believe such a compact speaker can put out so much clean volume! How does QSC do it? First, they pack an astounding (and astonishingly lightweight) 1,000-watt Class D power amp into the K12. Second, they build this 12" speaker to handle all that power and give you clear, full sound at any volume. This speaker is made to give you maximum efficiency and reliability, without adding the kind of weight you'd expect such a powerful unit to have. Your live rig just got a lot lighter, a lot more streamlined, and a lot better sounding!





When you plug into the K12, you're in for the kind of performance you'd expect from a much bigger, heavier, and pricier speaker. But QSC didn't merely make a loud speaker. They made a great-sounding 1,000-watt speaker you can rely on, and they built it right. From the sound-maximizing onboard DSP and protection circuitry to built-in EQ settings, the K12 comes packed with amazing features you'll love. Plus, it accepts both XLR and 1/4" connections and even includes a set of RCA inputs for music players and line-level mixers. Get this speaker and you're ready for anything! From the moment we first heard this amazing speaker, we were blown away by its winning combo of big-time power and crystal-clear sound. You will be too!

Versatile and Ready to Roll...and Rock

by Jeff from Fredericksburg, VA

Music Background: Lifetime musician (concert oboe; pro drummer and pro DJ)
I'm a professional DJ who has used a pair of these (coupled with a pair of QSC K-Subs) for over a year now. I've played at the Barnes at the Wolf Trap and other larger venues in Northern VA (such as... read more [+] 4 ball rooms joined together); along with a variety of different sized venues to include outside events during all four seasons. While playing for a large event with celebrities, a semi-famous country guitarist and singer showed up as a guest and easily plugged into my system and sang/played several songs. I immediately kicked right in with dancing music after he finished. I write this as a DJ, this demonstrates the versatility of these speakers (an I-Pod can easily be plugged directly into the RCA inputs to play during breaks, or as a separate speaker/system in a lobby, etc.). I've had many complements on the looks and the sound quality. My only recommendation is to pay the extra bucks and purchase the protective cases to keep these looking new (and enhance your overall professional appearance). The cases help me when having to pack in and out as one QSC K12 stacks easily on the K-Sub which has built in wheels....easy pezzy for load-in/out I can roll two at one time). close [-]
