Concert-Grade 15-Inch Power with Warm Wood-Bodied Clarity: QSC KW152 Powered Speaker
The QSC KW152 delivers concert-level punch and pristine accuracy through its 15? woofer and 1.75? compression driver, all housed in a rugged birch-plywood cabinet designed to resonate with warmth and sustain under any condition.
Designed for touring professionals, rental fleets, and high-end installations, the KW152’s Intrinsic Correction™ DSP and DEEP™ limiter bring controlled, punchy low-end and clear vocal reproduction to venues of all sizes. Its 60° axisymmetric waveguide ensures even coverage without unwanted reflections, while the built-in two-channel mixer, locking IEC power, and global-voltage PSU make setup seamless from ballroom stages to outdoor amphitheaters.
Performance Control That Adapts to Your Needs
Harness 1,000 W (500 W LF + 500 W HF) of efficient Class-D power, refined by Intrinsic Correction™ DSP for studio-flat response. The DEEP™ limiter protects drivers during dynamic peaks, while dual XLR/TRS combo inputs, RCA summing, and a mix-out enable flexible routing—no external processor required.
