Building
on the success of the K Series, the KW Series represents the next
evolutionary step in wood enclosure loudspeakers. QSC system engineers
have created the KW Series to feature all the groundbreaking electronic
attributes of the popular K Series while at the same time designing a
product that is both smaller and significantly lighter than previous
wood enclosure models.
High Output: Like K Series, each of the
four KW Series models features a QSC designed, 1000 watt (2 x 500) 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.
Defined Coverage Area: Directivity Matched
Transition (DMT) provides for matched LF and HF coverage across the
entire listening area, eliminating unnatural "dead" or "hot" frequency
zones.
DSP: Extensive signal processing is employed throughout,
providing levels of sonic clarity and total output that defy all
expectations for a product in this category:
- Intrinsic
Correction, first featured in QSC's high-end line array products
maps 65-75 spatially-averaged measurements to IIR and FIR filters that
actively adjust time, frequency and amplitude response to a maximally
flat bandpass target. The result is a speaker that behaves equally
well across the entire sound field.
- DEEP and excursion
limiting allow for extended low-frequency response by actively
managing low-frequency transients without degradation of the
underlying signal or adjacent frequencies.
- GuardRail�protection, first introduced on our GX Series amplifiers protects both
the amplifier module and your performance from unnatural and
destructive clipping.
Connectivity: KW Series features a
four-position mic / line gain switch that allows for connection of a
wide variety of devices. Combo XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs accept both mic
and line level input while a set of RCA phono inputs (except KW181)
allow additional connectivity to 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.
Separate direct outputs are also provided on each channel for additional
output flexibility.
Control: On-board switches provide preset EQ
settings. The HF setting (full-range models) can be set to VOCAL BOOST
for additional presence in the critical mid-frequency area or FLAT for
accurate reproduction of the incoming signal. The LF switch can be set
to NORM, DEEP for additional bass extension, or EXT SUB (full-range
models) for use with an external subwoofer. The rear panel LED switch
can be set to POWER, illuminating the front-mounted LED when the unit is
powered on, OFF for applications where it is not desirable to
illuminate the front LED, or LIMIT which indicates to the system
operator that the clip limiter circuit has been engaged during
operation.
Tilt-Direct: The KW122 and KW152 feature a unique
Tilt-Direct pole cup mounting system. A simple turn of the dial engages
a 7.5 degree downward tilt of the speaker allowing acoustic energy to
be kept on the audience and off reflective surfaces for applications
where maximum coverage from a high-positioned speaker is desired.
Remote
Gain: Remote gain control capability is offered via a potentiometer
(not included) connected to the on-board Phoenix-Style connector. In an
installed application, multiple KW Series speakers can be
"daisy-chained" for total gain control from a single remote pot.
Auto-standby mode is engaged after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Premium-grade
materials: KW Series is designed to withstand the rigors of
professional use. Advanced construction processes, premium-grade Baltic
birch cabinetry, ergonomic, cast aluminum handles, low-noise casters
(KW181) and a highly protective steel grille provide for ease of
transport and long term durability. Integrated M10 suspension points
allow for flown applications with a KW M10 KIT (sold separately) and a
threaded pole receptacle (KW181) provides for a positive, wobble free
connection to a threaded speaker pole (included).
