The QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker is a compact, portable 2-way powered PA speaker from QSC’s K.2 series, built for live sound, DJ sets, presentations and houses of worship. A 2000 W peak Class-D amplifier drives an 8-inch woofer and a 1.4-inch titanium compression driver, delivering up to 128 dB peak SPL from a cabinet weighing just 12.2 kg. The QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker combines a 3-input mixer, onboard DSP with factory presets and savable scenes, and a multifunction LCD interface, so a single speaker can run a small event on its own and a pair can cover a medium-sized audience.
Why Choose QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker?
Working sound engineers choose the QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker because it is the lightest, widest-coverage model in the K.2 range, yet it shares the same 2000 W amplifier, DSP and mixer as its larger siblings. The 105-degree axisymmetric coverage spreads sound evenly across a room without hot spots, and QSC’s Directivity Matched Transition design keeps the woofer and compression driver working together smoothly through the crossover region. The onboard DSP does real work: factory presets for common uses, a subwoofer crossover for pairing with a QSC sub, EQ, delay and savable scenes that recall a whole setup at the touch of a button. With pole-mount, floor-monitor wedge and suspended mounting options, the QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker adapts to mains, monitors and delay-fill duties alike.
Key Features
2000 W Class-D amplifier: 1800 W peak to the woofer and 225 W peak to the compression driver.
8-inch woofer + 1.4-inch titanium driver: a 203 mm cone and 35.6 mm titanium diaphragm compression driver.
128 dB peak SPL: 122 dB continuous output with 105-degree axisymmetric coverage.
3-input onboard mixer: mic/line, Hi-Z/line and 3.5 mm inputs with XLR loop-through and mix outputs.
DSP presets and scenes: factory presets, EQ, delay, crossover and savable, recallable scenes via the LCD.
Portable 12.2 kg cabinet: an integrated handle and wedge shape for mains or floor-monitor use.
Best Suited For
The QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker suits mobile DJs, acoustic performers, presenters, fitness instructors, schools and houses of worship that need clear, powerful sound without a separate amplifier rack. It works as a main PA speaker, a floor monitor, or a delay fill, and pairs naturally with a QSC subwoofer for full-range dance music. It is a single-speaker listing: buyers needing stereo or larger-room coverage should order two, and very large venues will need the bigger K10.2 or K12.2 models.
Setup and Connection Guide
Place the QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker on a speaker stand using the pole socket, on the floor in its wedge position for monitoring, or on a flat surface as a main speaker, keeping the front grille clear of obstructions. Connect a microphone, instrument or mixer to the combo inputs, or a phone or laptop to the 3.5 mm input, and set the input gains so the signal LEDs show a healthy level without clipping. Use the LCD to choose a factory preset for the application, such as a vocal or dance preset, and set the subwoofer crossover only when a subwoofer is connected. For stereo, feed the left signal to one QSC K8.2 Active Loudspeaker and the right signal to another, and link additional speakers from the mix output where needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the the K8.2 a single speaker or a pair?
This listing is for a single QSC K8.2 speaker. It is an active speaker with its own built-in amplifier, so one unit works alone; two units are needed for stereo.
Does the the K8.2 need a separate amplifier?
No. The amplifier is built in, with 2000 W peak Class-D power. The speaker needs only mains power and an audio signal from a microphone, instrument, mixer or media player.
Can the the K8.2 be used as a floor monitor?
Yes. The cabinet has a wedge angle for floor-monitor use, and the DSP includes monitor presets, so it works as a stage monitor as well as a main PA speaker.
