QSC KW153 1000 Watt 15" 3-Way Active Speaker

QSC KW153 3-Way Speaker Features

• 15" woofer; 6.5" midrange woofer; 1.75" diaphragm compression driver.
• 75° conical DMT coverage.
• Maximum SPL 134 dB peak.
• 1000-watt Class D power modules in all models (2 x 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.
• Tour-grade 16 gauge steel grilles.
• Comfortable ergonomic handles.
• 35 mm standard (non-tilt) pole socket.
• M10 rigging points for suspended installation.
• 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.
• DEEP: Sophisticated digital signal processing provides greater low-frequency extension while precisely protecting the woofer from over-excursion.
• DMT: Directivity Matched Transition matches the HF coverage angle to the natural coverage angle of the woofer for uniform frequency response over the entire coverage area.
• Conical Wave Guide: The conical wave guide eliminates the phase distortions of typical asymmetric horns for more natural reproduction.
• 1000 Watts: The same state of the art, light-weight Class D amplifier module powers all the K & KW Series models.
• EQ Modes: Optimize for a specific application with the simple flip of a switch.
• Energy Management: Automatic standby mode conserves energy and extends the life of the loudspeaker.
• LED Operation: Turn of the front panel power LED or switch it to show limiting operation.
• Remote Control: Easy to use remote gain control is ideal for installed applications.
• Pro Appearance: Sleek lines and a full grille for a more professional look than other molded loudspeakers.
• Locking IEC Power Cable: Helps prevent unexpected interruptions.
• Connectivity: Mic/line and RCA inputs along with onboard mixing controls allow greater flexibility.
• Tilt-Direct Pole Mount: A simple turn of the dial is all it takes to alter the vertical directivity by 7.5 degrees.
• Suspension and Mounting: With integrated threaded inserts, KW Series is equally at home in mounted or flown applications.
• Threaded Pole: The KW181 subwoofer comes with a threaded pole for a snug, safe fit.
• Intrinsic Correction: An exclusive QSC process that applies extensive acoustic measurements to noticeably improve audio quality.
• Class D: Higher efficiency produces less heat and more sonic performance with lower overall current draw.
• Protections: QSC's Guardrail technology protect your loudspeakers from over-excursion. On-demand cooling fan and thermal limiting prevent overheated electronics.
