Overview By Gearrank.com
The K12 was the biggest and the loudest of the three sub $1000 original K Series powered speakers from QSC, with a max SPL of 131dB. It’s popular with bands, DJs, and audio engineers for use both as an FOH speaker and a stage monitor. It provides a total of 1000 watts via the Class D amplifiers and can peak at
2000 watts.
It has built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processing), which performs a range of functions to keep the sound crisp and clear across a wide range of frequencies and volumes – one proprietary function is DEEP (Digital Extension and Excursion Processing) which allows it to produce low frequencies at volumes not usually associated with a speaker enclosure as small as this – some people even report they get a similar response to using a subwoofer.
It features a 12″ LF driver that is housed in a bigger cabinet, which makes it heavy yet reasonably portable.
High-frequency and Low-frequency EQ switches are available for fine-tuning the sound to your preference, its most prominent feature being Voice Boost, which is ideal for speeches and for emphasizing vocals.
