At Music Store Live we're all musicians like you, and we know how hard it can be to afford all the gear that you want and need.  We encourage you to make us an offer.  Often times, you'll be pleasantly surprised!   Additionally, don't hesitate to contact us regarding financing options.  We'll do everything we can to help get that next piece of gear into your hands.   Description Building on the success of our K Series, the KW Series represents the next evolutionary step in wood enclosure loudspeakers. Our system engineers have created the KW Series to feature all the groundbreaking electronic attributes of our 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 W continuous) 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 our 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).   Features 12” Woofer; 1.75” diaphragm compression driver 75° conical DMT coverage Also functions as monitor floor wedge 1000-watt Class D power modules in all models (2 × 500 W continuous) Onboard mixer with two combo XLR and ¼” inputs, and stereo RCA inputs, (three audio input sources); two direct channel outputs and single summed balanced output Extensive DSP featuring DEEP™ and Intrinsic Correction™ enhances system performance DMT™ (Directivity Matched Transition) ensures uniform coverage across the entire sound field Rugged, texture-painted birch enclosures Four-position Mic/Line gain (full-range models) Tour-grade 16 gauge steel grilles Comfortable ergonomic handles 35 mm pole sockets with Tilt-Direct™ M10 rigging points for suspended installation   Specifications Model: Configuration Transducers: Low Frequency: Mid/High Frequency: 75" diaphragm compression driver Frequency Response (-6 dB) Frequency Range (-10 dB) Nominal Coverage (-6 dB) Maximum SPL Power Output 1000 W Class D (500 W LF + 500 W HF) continuous 2000 W peak Controls Power, Gain A, Gain B, Channel A Input Gain (0 dB / 12 dB / 24 dB / 36 dB), LF Mode (Ext Sub/Norm/DEEP™), HF Mode (Flat/Vocal Boost), Front LED (On/Off/Limit) Indicators Power, Signal A, Signal B, Standby, Limit, Mic (24 dB and 36 dB settings)   Connectors Balanced female XLR/¼" line/mic level input, Balanced female XLR/¼" line level input, Dual Balanced male XLR full range line level out , Balanced male XLR "mix" out, Stereo RCA line level input, Remote gain control, Locking IEC power connector Cooling On demand, 50 mm variable speed fan  Amplifier Protection Thermal limiting, output overcurrent, overtemperature muting, GuardRail™ Transducer Protection Thermal limiting, excursion limiting AC Power Input Universal power supply 100–240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz AC Power Consumption (1/8 Power) 100 VAC, 2.3 A 120 VAC, 2.01 A 230 VAC, 1.13 A Enclosure Material: 15 mm painted birch plywood Finish: Black textured paint Grille: Black powder coated 16 gauge steel Dimensions (HWD) inches Dimensions (HWD) mm Net Weight Available Accessories KW122 suspension kit, KW122 cover, KW M10 kit     At Music Store Live, our goal is to revolutionize the way gear is bought online.
