Applications
The K.2 Series has been primarily designed for portable audio reinforcement.
This includes a variety of uses in reinforcement for entertainers and presenters.
All are designed to perform well on their own in full-range audio. They can be
used singly, in stereo pairs or in distributed or delayed systems. They perform
extraordinarily well as both main reinforcement systems and as floor monitors
as shown in Figure 4.
All three models are equipped with two 35 mm pole sockets that allows use on
a speaker stand or on a pole over a subwoofer. (The subwoofer must have a
35 mm pole socket capable of supporting the loudspeakers.) One socket is for
vertical mounting, the other for tilting the enclosures down 7.5 degrees.
(Refer to Figure 5)
— Figure 4 —
In addition, the K.2 Series have features designed for various suspension
methods. They feature two M10 threaded inserts for suspension with eyebolts
and a built-in pull-back ring. There are also yoke accessories (model numbers: K8.2 YOKE, K10.2 YOKE, K12.2 YOKE)
for each model that can mount either to the sides of the cabinet or to the top and bottom. These yokes allow for rigid
mounting to structures and rotation of the speaker system. (Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7)

— Figure 7 —
— Figure 5 — — Figure 6 —

Installation
WARNING!: Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension,
cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated
component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation or placement. Any such condition severely reduces the
safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions
of the installation and any possible short-term, unexpected overloading.

Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment.

Consult a licensed, professional engineer regarding physical equipment installation. Ensure that all local, state and national
regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers and related equipment are understood and adhered to.

TD-000523-01-D 7
Deployment

Integrated Suspension Points (suspended installations)

Refer to TD-000289 for M10 eye bolt installation.
KS212C
The K8.2, K10.2 and K12.2 enclosures each feature two load-rated M10 installation
KW181
points and a built-in pull-back ring.
As shipped from the factory, each pick point has a adhesive cover installed to retain
the sleek look of the enclosure. These installation points are designed for use with
the eyebolts included in the available accessory kit, model number M10 Kit-C. The — Figure 8 —
installation points may also be used with any forged shoulder eyebolt with an M10
thread, provided the length of the thread is no more than 0.8 inch (20 mm).

WARNING!: Make sure all suspension-point fasteners are installed and correctly
tightened in order to maintain enclosure’s rated strength.

Cooling
This is a powered loudspeaker containing an internal power amplifier that produces heat. Allow a minimum of 6" (152
mm) clearance at cabinet back for convection cooling. Keep anything that might restrict airflow away from the rear of the
enclosure (i.e draperies, walls, etc.)

CAUTION!: Do not install enclosures with their rear panels exposed to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will
heat the amplifier module and reduce its ability to produce full output. Install sunshades if needed. Maximum
ambient temperature for full performance to specification is 50° C (122° F). Do not install enclosures where
exposed to rain or other water sources. The enclosure is not weatherproof. Outdoor installations must provide
protection from the elements.

AC Mains
Refer to Figure 10)
Connect the AC power cord to the IEC socket on the back of the amplifier. Make
sure the plug is fully inserted into the IEC socket on the power amplifier module.

NOTE: Make sure that the AC power switch is in the OFF position
before connecting AC power cord to the AC source.

Connect the AC Power cord to the facility’s AC outlet.

The V-LOCK power cord has a special latching feature to prevent the power cord
from being unintentionally removed. The IEC plug and socket are both blue in color
— Figure 10 —
so the power cord can be identified as a K.2 Series loudspeaker cord. If the QSC-
supplied cord is lost or damaged, a standard 18-gauge IEC power cord may be
used. However, the latching system works only with a V-LOCK power cord. Available from QSC.
The K.2 Series loudspeakers are equipped with a universal power supply that can use input AC power voltages ranging
from 100 – 240 VAC at 50 – 60 Hz.

WARNING!: Use only the power cable that is correct for your location.

AC Mains Disconnection
Push in on the bottom of the rocker switch to turn the powered loudspeaker off. Unplug the AC cable from the power
source. To remove the AC mains cord from the amplifier, grasp the IEC connector’s plastic body, press the yellow latch
release button and pull.

Power Switch
Push in on the top of the rocker switch to apply AC mains power to the amplifier. When power is applied to the amplifier,
the blue POWER indicator LED illuminates.

Rear LED POWER Indicator

The blue LED POWER indicator on the rear panel will illuminate when the AC Power is applied. The rear LED POWER
indicator will extinguish when the AC Power has been removed.
If the rear LED POWER indicator does not illuminate within the first 3 minutes after power is applied, verify the AC mains
line cord is properly attached to the loudspeaker and plugged into the AC outlet. Verify the outlet is functioning properly.

NOTE: If the AC mains cord is usable and the AC mains outlet is operating properly, but the unit fails to
operate, the loudspeaker may require servicing. Contact QSC’s Technical Services department.

TD-000523-01-D 9
System Power Sequencing
Proper power turn on/turn off sequencing can help to prevent unexpected sounds from being produced by the system
(pops, clicks, thumps). Always follow the rule that speakers are “last on, first off”.
Power On Sequence: Bring the output level control of the mixer (or other audio source) feeding your speakers to its
minimum position. Turn on all source devices (CD players, mixers, instruments), turn on subwoofer, then turn on the “top-
boxes” ( K8.2, K10.2 and K12.2). The level controls on your mixer may now be brought up.
Power Off Sequence: Turn off “top boxes,” turn off subwoofer, then turn off all source devices.
If a K.2 Series speaker is being driven from the output of another K.2 Series unit, it should be turned on after the unit
feeding it signal, and turned off before the unit feeding it signal.

(Input C).
Refer to Figure 12
1b
1c 3c
1. Input A 4
a. SIG LED – When illuminated 5
(green), it indicates a signal
is present. If this LED is not 1d 2d
illuminated, the input signal is
missing or too low to detect.
b. MIC LED – When illuminated
(yellow) it indicates the input
is configured to accept a — Figure 12 —
microphone input. When not
illuminated, it indicates the input is configured for a line‑level input. You can change the setting through the Menu.
When MIC is selected, the MIC Pre-amp is activated, and the yellow MIC level LED illuminates. The MIC setting
should only be used if a microphone is connected directly to the MIC/LINE input. Note that the input does not
provide phantom power.
c. GAIN knob – Sets the sensitivity of Input A which controls the signal level sent to the amplifier and the MIX OUT
(POST GAIN) output.
d. Combination XLR – 1/4” Phone Jack connector. Balanced XLR and 1/4” input. Accepts line-level or MIC-level
inputs. Select MIC or Line through the Menu.

CAUTION!: The MIC setting should only be used if a microphone is connected directly to the MIC/LINE input. Using the MIC
setting for line-level may introduce distortion. Use caution when changing to the MIC selection in the Menu as the output level
increases significantly when MIC is selected.

2. Input B
a. GAIN knob – Sets the sensitivity of Input B which controls the signal level sent to the amplifier and the MIX OUT
(POST GAIN) output.
b. SIG LED – When illuminated (green), it indicates a signal is present. If this LED is not illuminated, the input signal is
missing or too low to detect.
c. HI-Z LED – When illuminated (yellow) it indicates the input is configured to accept a high impedance input, typically
a musical instrument. When not illuminated, it indicates the input is configured for a line-level input. You can change
the setting through the Menu.
d. Combination XLR – 1/4” Phone Jack connector. Balanced XLR and 1/4” input. Accepts line-level and high
Impedance inputs. Select line level or high impedance through the Menu.
3. Input C
a. GAIN knob – Sets the sensitivity of Input B which controls the signal level sent to the amplifier and the MIX OUT
(POST GAIN) output.
b. SIG LED – When illuminated (green), it indicates a signal is present. If this LED is not illuminated, the input signal is
missing or too low to detect.
c. Stereo 1/8” (3.5 mm) TRS connector – Accepts line-level stereo input. Stereo input received at Input C is summed
to mono.

TD-000523-01-D 11
4. LIMITER LED – Illuminates (red) when the built-in limiter is activated to protect and avoid damage to the amplifier or
loudspeaker. If the signal level at any frequency is too high, or the amplifier is too hot, the limiter is activated and the
LED is illuminated.
5. POWER LED – Illuminates (blue) when power is applied to the unit and the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.

NOTE: Unless the gain controls of all active inputs are set to 0 dB, the output signal from the MIX OUT (POST GAIN) will not
be at the same level as the input signal. If a “slave” speaker is intended to playback at the same level as the “master” speaker,
the gain control on the “slave” speaker should be set to 0 dB.
