The QSC KW152 is a high-performance, 2-way active loudspeaker designed for professional audio applications. It features a robust 15-inch cone transducer paired with a 1.75-inch diaphragm compression driver, delivering clear and powerful sound across a frequency range of 44 Hz to 20 kHz. With a 1000-watt Class D amplifier (500W LF + 500W HF), the KW152 achieves a peak SPL of 133 dB, ensuring ample volume for various venues. Its 60° conical DMT™ (Directivity Matched Transition) coverage ensures uniform sound dispersion throughout the listening area. The speaker's rugged 15 mm birch plywood enclosure is both durable and lightweight, making it suitable for portable and installed setups. Connectivity options include two combo XLR and ¼-inch inputs, stereo RCA inputs, and multiple outputs for versatile integration. Additional features such as onboard DSP with DEEP™ and Intrinsic Correction™, a Tilt-Direct™ pole socket, and M10 rigging points enhance its adaptability for various sound reinforcement needs.
