Powerful, Clear Sound in a Compact Cabinet

The K8.2 is designed to deliver serious output from a small footprint. Its 2000 watt Class D amplifier section provides 1800 watts to the low frequency driver and 225 watts to the high frequency driver, giving you plenty of headroom for demanding live situations. With a frequency range down to 55 Hz and a maximum SPL of 128 dB, it comfortably covers everything from speech and acoustic acts to full bands and playback, while remaining portable and easy to handle.

Consistent Coverage with DMT and Intrinsic Correction

QSC’s Directivity Matched Transition (DMT) design ensures that the K8.2 delivers even coverage across its wide 105 degree axisymmetric dispersion pattern, so your entire audience hears a balanced mix, not just those in the sweet spot. Intrinsic Correction processing uses data from thousands of loudspeaker measurements to optimise the response inside the speaker’s DSP, resulting in a smooth, accurate sound with very low distortion at any level.

Smart Onboard DSP for Real World Flexibility

The K8.2 features powerful onboard DSP accessible via a clear LCD screen, rotary encoder and selection buttons. You can choose from application specific presets, adjust EQ, set up delays for time aligning multiple speakers, and manage crossover settings when used with a sub. User scenes can be saved and recalled, making it quick to dial in your preferred settings when you return to familiar venues or setups.

Rugged, Versatile and Ready for Any Rig

Housed in an impact resistant ABS enclosure with a tough steel grille, the K8.2 is built to withstand the rigours of regular use. Multiple mounting and deployment options allow it to function as a main PA, floor monitor, flown cabinet or wall and truss mounted unit. It can also be placed on a speaker pole either firing straight ahead or with a 7.5 degree down tilt, helping you aim sound precisely where it is needed.

• 2000 Watt Class D Power Module - A high efficiency Class D amplifier delivers 1800 watts to the LF driver and 225 watts to the HF driver, providing huge headroom and punch from a compact cabinet. This ensures your mix stays dynamic and controlled, even at higher volumes.
• Advanced DMT and Intrinsic Correction - Directivity Matched Transition and Intrinsic Correction processing work together to provide smooth, consistent coverage and accurate sound. The result is a balanced, musical response across the listening area, reducing the need for heavy corrective EQ.
• Powerful Onboard DSP and Presets - Built in DSP with an intuitive LCD interface gives you access to presets, EQ, delay and crossover settings. You can tailor the K8.2 to different applications and venues, then store and recall user scenes to streamline setup from gig to gig.
• Rugged, Multi Purpose Enclosure - The impact resistant ABS cabinet, steel grille and multiple mounting options make the K8.2 suitable for a wide range of roles. Whether used as a main PA, monitor, flown or pole mounted, it is designed to handle the demands of professional use.
