Mighty 8-Inch Powerhouse: QSC K8.2 Powered Speaker
The QSC K8.2 unleashes 2 000 watts of Class-D punch, pristine clarity, and 105° room-filling coverage from an enclosure that weighs barely 27 lb.
From wedding ballrooms to worship balconies, the K8.2 thrives where space is tight but expectations are sky-high. Its Intrinsic Correction™ processing and Directivity Matched Transition™ waveguide translate studio-flat response onto the dancefloor, while a global-voltage power supply and locking IEC keep the show running anywhere you plug in. Built-in three-channel mixing means you can run a mic, a guitar, and backing tracks without a mixer, save your settings as user scenes, then recall them in seconds at the next venue. Whether you’re pole-mounting a pair for 250 guests, flying delay fills over a main array, or dropping the cabinet onto its 55° wedge for crystal-clear monitors, the K8.2 adapts to every gig without compromising sonic integrity or setup speed.
Performance Control That Adapts to Your Needs
Harness 1 800 W for the woofer and 225 W for the compression driver, all tuned by Intrinsic Correction™ DSP. The rear LCD menu offers eleven factory voicings—Live, Dance, Stage Monitor, Speech, and more—plus three savable user scenes, adjustable EQ, delay, and crossover. Dual XLR/TRS inputs, a 3.5 mm stereo jack, and a mix-out let the K8.2 function as a stand-alone PA or the cornerstone of a larger system.
Portability & Design for On-the-Go Professionals
Rugged yet lightweight ABS construction shrugs off life on the road, while dual aluminum handles support single-handed load-ins. A pole socket provides 0° and 7.5° down-tilt positions, and integrated M10 points make flown installs effortless. Register within 30 days to extend QSC’s warranty to six years—peace of mind for rental fleets and touring rigs.
