Building on the success of our K Series the KW Series represents the next evolutionary step in wood enclosure loudspeakers. Our system engineers have created the KW Series to feature all the groundbreaking electronic attributes of our popular K Series while at the same time designing a product that is both smaller and significantly lighter than previous wood enclosure models.

Like K Series each of the four KW Series models features a QSC designed 1000 watt (2 x 500 W continuous) Class D power module. And continuing in the K Series tradition every model is fitted with the identical high-output 1.75" HF device (full-range models) and woofers of the same high quality design regardless of speaker size.

Standard KW Series Features

• Inputs Outputs and Mixing Combo XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs accept both mic- and line-level input while a set of RCA phono inputs (except KSub) allow additional connectivity to portable MP3 players CD players and line-level mixers. As many as three audio sources can be mixed internally and summed to a balanced output for "daisy-chaining" of multiple units. Separate direct outputs are also provided on each channel for additional output flexibility.
• DEEP Sophisticated digital signal processing provides greater low-frequency extension while precisely protecting the woofer from over-excursion.
• DMT Directivity Matched Transition matches the HF coverage angle to the natural coverage angle of the woofer for uniform frequency response over the entire coverage area.
• Axisymmetric Wave Guide The axisymmetric wave guide eliminates the phase distortions of typical asymmetric horns for more natural reproduction.
• 1000 Watts The same state-of-the-art light-weight Class D amplifier module powers all the K and KW Series models.
• EQ Modes Optimize for a specific application with the simple flip of a switch.
• Energy Management Automatic standby mode conserves energy and extends the life of the loudspeaker.
• LED Operation Switch selectable: On (power indicator) / off (dark) / limit (limiter indication)
• Remote Control Easy-to-use remote gain control is ideal for installed applications.
• Pro Appearance Sleek lines and a full grille for a more professional look than other molded loudspeakers.
• Locking IEC Power Cable Help prevent unexpected interruptions.
