QSC K8.2

The QSC K8.2 is a premium 2000-watt powered 8-inch loudspeaker that delivers detailed, natural sound in the most portable member of QSC’s K.2 Series. An 8-inch woofer and 1.4-inch titanium compression driver, Directivity Matched Transition design, and Intrinsic Correction tuning provide smooth, consistent coverage, while onboard DSP presets, a 3-input mixer, and a multifunction LCD make it easy to sound great as a main speaker or floor monitor.

QSC K8.2: Big Sound, Easy to Carry

At 27 pounds with an integrated handle, the K8.2 is the lightest K.2 model, ideal for presenters, solo performers, small venues, and monitor use. A pair can cover a room of about 250 people, and Intrinsic Correction tuning delivers accurate performance across a wide range of spaces with little or no EQ.

DSP Presets and Scenes

The LCD interface offers presets for live sound, dance, stage monitors, acoustic guitar and vocals, bass amp, handheld and headset mics, and studio monitoring. Sub settings apply high-pass filters for use with QSC subwoofers, and savable scenes store EQ, delay, and input settings for repeat events.

Setting Up the K8.2

Place the K8.2 on a stand, pole-mount it above a subwoofer using the standard or 7.5-degree down-tilt cup, fly it with M10 fittings, or lay it on its side as a monitor. Connect a mic or mixer to Input A, a guitar or second mic to Input B, and a phone to the 3.5 mm input, then choose a preset.

What to Pair With the K8.2

Pair the K8.2 with a QSC KS112 or KS118 subwoofer, a speaker stand, the K8 tote bag or outdoor cover, XLR cables, and a vocal microphone.

Built-In 3-Input Mixer

Individual gain controls let the K8.2 act as a 3-channel mixer for presentations or singer-songwriter gigs, and XLR thru and mix outputs make it easy to link additional speakers.

Quiet and Reliable

Very low-noise fan cooling suits settings where background noise must be minimal, and sophisticated dynamics processing protects the drivers. A rugged ABS enclosure and a 6-year warranty with registration provide peace of mind.

Main PA or Floor Monitor

The K8.2 cabinet works suspended, on a tripod, on a subwoofer pole, or as a floor monitor on its side or upright, so one speaker covers many roles.
