QSC KW153 Active 15-inch 3-way 2000 Watts Loud Speaker

Features

  • 15-inch woofer; 6.5-inch midrange woofer; 1.75-inch diaphragm compression driver

  • 75° conical DMT coverage

  • Maximum SPL 134 dB peak

  • 1000-watt Class D power modules in all models (2 × 500 W continuous)

  • Onboard mixer with two combo XLR and ¼⁻ᶦⁿᶜʰ 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

  • Inputs, Outputs and Mixing
    Combo XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs accept both mic- and line-level input while a set of RCA phono inputs (except KSub) allow additional connectivity to portable MP3 players, CD players and line-level mixers. As many as three audio sources can be mixed internally and summed to a balanced output for "daisy-chaining" of multiple units. Separate direct outputs are also provided on each channel for additional output flexibility. 

  • 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. 

  • Axisymmetric Wave Guide

    The axisymmetric 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 and 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

    Switch selectable: On (power indicator) / off (dark) / limit (limiter indication) 

  • 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

    Help 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 overexcursion. On-demand cooling fan and thermal limiting prevent overheated electronics.
