Packaged into the new, second generation Baltic birch design will be the same 1000W of Class D power modules (2 x 500W), 1.75-inch high output HF device (in the full-range models) and extensive DSP featured in the K Series, along with all QSC's patented technologies designed to fully-optimise the system.
The KW Series comprises four models - the KW122 (12-inch, two-way multipurpose loudspeaker), KW152 (15-inch, two-way trapezoidal loudspeaker), KW153 (15-inch, three-way trapezoidal loudspeaker) and KW181 (18-inch subwoofer).
In addition to the 1000W of Class D power, this system incorporates DEEP and Intrinsic Correction as performance enhancers into the DSP, while DMT (Directivity Matched Transition) ensures uniform coverage across the entire sound field. In addition, the KW Series features GuardRail protection, first introduced on QSC's GX Series amplifiers, which prevents the amplifier module from unnatural and destructive clipping, while the full-range models also include a four-position Mic/Line gain switch.
The construction of these texture-painted birch enclosures has also been carefully conceived, with tour grade 16-gauge steel grilles, comfortable ergonomic handles, and 35mm pole sockets with Tilt-Direct (on the KW122 and KW152 models). M10 rigging points enable suspended installation of the full-range models, while the KW122 can also function as a stage monitor.
