- Noiz does a “brief” overview of the QSC KS112 powered subwoofers. He demonstrates different configurations on how to set them up and does a quick sound demo. FYI this video was recorded using an iPhone 10 X Max and the bass overwhelmed the built in microphone.

Sounded awesome! Thx. Modular decision makes perfect sense and also transportation is a lot easier regardless of the type of vehicle used to carry these.
Dope setup! Thanks for the video and I know QSC's amazingly clean and loud!
Another benefit to this type system compared to the column arrays is redundancy in case of failure. That's happened to me recently and I only lost one component. I was able to keep going. Wow the demo sounds good!
Love your setup!
Nice setup bro i love the qsc speaker
Great review! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have been doing research on upgrading my PA system from Alto series to QSC or JBL. I ordered two used QSC K12 (not K12.2) for $900 a set of two which I think it was a great deal and looking to add couple subs to it and I was debating from getting 1 of the KS212c or get 2 of the KS112 and I think you have had helped me to decide to go with 2 of the KS112 as you mentioned I can in the future to get 2 more as needed but for now for my events size of 50 to 150 people I think it would work great!!! Thank you
for my KS112 the best.
Hello, I purchased the QSC K112 subwoofer about the same time. I paired them with the Alto TS312 tops. I also use the BBE 882i sound processor. I have played many weddings with 250 to 300 guests. 1 of these QSC K112 subs kick ass. I have had complements every gig that I have done with this sub. I think 4 of these subs are in the 500+ guest zone.
Since 1980, I have played at 2,800 weddings. I have had Bad End 18" subs, 4ea., Fender 18" subs, JBL PRX subs with 3-way JBL PRX tops EAW as well. QSC K112 subs. Best sub I have ever owned!
Bag End
dump the altos
How bout compared to bose sub 2? Which is better?
I just got the 2-KS212Cs and I have to say My Good GOD:)! - Also pairing it with QSC 2-8.2s. Nice video. 8000W total is nuts I have to say!
These are on my short list of subs. I have QSC 10.2's , 12.2's and KW181's . I like you don't want to carry weight like I used to. I don't like that the price has gone up on them, but will probably get them anyway. I want to sound good without breaking my back. Thanks for the review.
very nice set up
That's sweet setup I'm going to get the K8 with two of the 112 for my smaller gigs
Much better than those mentioned line array systems. Very nice indeed.
Louder too.
Nice bro. I'm trying to be like you one day.
This sounds ridiculously good
deep lows and nice output.
Great system! Do you hook it up to the TV next to it? I have a single K8.2 over a K Sub. I think my Micro system outperforms any Column array. In the future you might want to upgrade to the K8.2. Big difference for not much more weight or money.
Is this threaded pole the 36” inch?? I want to make sure I buy some with the right height. Thank you!
Does it sound different ,standing up or laying on its side?
You show a nice setup w/ two speakers & rwo subs. Can you show the hook up w/ only two outputs from a controller or mixer?
I have got the 2x ks118 they are too heavy for me now .... can the ks212c much the sound of the ks118?
I agree bro. Going lighter is better. I happened to like the RCF 705 or 905 as mkii. Also the KS212c is cool but heavier. I like that they are bass forward speakers (Cardioid).
Hello there. I just purchased a pair of QSC kS112 subs. I do have a pair of RCF ART 912 speakers that I will be using with these subs. Would you recommend 80hz or 100hz?
Hi! Any advice? What would sound better and more powerful for a church of 150 people? 4- ks112s or 2- ks212s. According to my common sense because the Ks112 has 2000W and bigger box than half of the ks212, and ks212 has only 3600w. I think that 4-ks112s would sound better, but I really dont know about speakers. Please help. Thanks
If you stake them does it affect the sound ?
Nicely done... Do you know if they have a hi pass filter for the tops?
Yes. You can dial in with the DSP where to cut with the aux out
Just got this sub sounds amazing,Thinking of getting a set of the k8.2, would those handle hip hop r&b reggae ?
Absolutely
It’s sounds pretty good
I am not sure how sales of the column array speakers are going and I am sure that will factor into the decision by QSC on whether they want to go that route. For the most part I only see wedding DJs using those systems.
For the KS112 sub, I would use a K8 or K10 rather than the CP8. If the specs are correct the sub would outrun the CP8 but the K8 would be perfect. I would prefer the extra kick of the K10 for a sub plus top setup.
But two KS112 subs will do 100 to 150 events with no problem.
Whats up Brotha. I seen you do a review on the rcf sub 705 mk2. Is this qsc ks112 just as powerful as the rcf sub?
DJ-RALPHY very good question 👍
Yes it is, I just did an outside wedding with just one of these and two QSC “KLA-12” tops and it sounded phenomenal! I took some video and I’ll see if I can post it on this channel later today...
I had the opportunity to do a side by side comparison of the ks112 and the rcf 705 II, both as a single sub paired with two k12.2’s I.e a one sub two tops setup. The Ks112 absolutely wiped the floor with the rcf. There was no comparison.
@@LeeMatches even thought the RCF is a 15 inch, really?
Rob Dixon , yes really, it surprised me as well. I appreciate that it’s a subjective thing but I found that the rcf just seemed to round out the bottom end and fill out the sound whereas the qsc added a real punch. Even the salesman was stunned by the difference.
What would be the optimal setting with these subwoofers if Im using the K12 QSC Tops and 2 or 1 QSC subwoofers 80% or 100% crossover etc. Party for about 100-200 ppl? I have Rane One Mixer?? 4 speaker or 3 speaker setup.
When running two subs cross the subs at 100 and set the gain at 12 o’clock “unity” and the K12 should have its gain at 10 o’clock. When running just one sub set the gain at two o’clock.
@@HitSquadDjsTv so when I have one 18' QSC and two 12 QSC TOPS set the gain at 2 on sub or tops....the whats the gain for each etc ideally?
@@creativespecies7032 if you’re running two12 tops and one 18 sub set all three speakers at unity “12 o’clock”
I’m doing a Prom with 150 people. Do you think one of these can handle 150 people. I want to order a second one in the future.
Very Nice
I can imagine how this set up would with the 12.2's.
So! A lot of people are hyping up the bigger brother of the ks112...(the ks212c)....so I compared them both side by side, volume to volume, same song and everything at GC, but! Believe it or not the smaller Ks112 PUNCHED more! Standing about 5-6 ft away.....I was really curious and I looked at the spec sheets and the ks112 starts lower in frequency so i guess thats why you hear more knock?, But standing 30 feet away you could hear the 212more...so i guess the advantage of the 212 is just a difference in range? and not having sound in the back as much obviously (being cardioid)..but anyways thanks for the video above 🙏🏻💯
Thanks i was wondering. How come no one really talks about the 212c. Nor do i see alot of videos on that sub. I was not sure. Which 1. To get
donald cannon i like the 112, alot of power for how small it is..it’s actually a bit more punchier (lower on frequency) but i think the 212 carries sound further...But if you position the 112 good ( front center dance floor You’ll be Ok) imo For how expensive the 212 is and how big it is I rather get a 181 or 118. But 112> 212
212c is amazing in sound and power but is heavier.
Would two qsc ks112 sound better than 1 qsc ks212c? Thinking about getting that setup, just wanted to know which route to take. 2 ks112 or 1 ks212c. Thank you
brame75 we will be doing a video on the KS212C on this channel. We will compare them. Thanks for watching...
brame75 on paper SPL - 1 ks212c = 2 x ks112. If you get 2 subs you might place them better in a room. But if you are looking for a single sub, better to choose kw181 (same weight as ks212c) which has much more output and deepness.
Silviu Tanase Thank you
Hi, I would recommend getting the 212 with the cardioid pattern, why ? Must of the time Dj's or live sound set up are near a wall and having a regular sub will send sound to the wall and baunce back to the front of the sub getting out of phase and then affecting the low end at the dance floor or to the point of interest or just inconsistence in the lower end as you walk by the room or area. You can do this with two regular subs, but then you will need an extra equipment to delay the signal then turn around one of the subs and reversing the phase , the problem I had with the later is people start messing around with the buttons or whatever is in the back of your sub, with the 212 is just plug and play.
Again I did a side by side between the kw181 and KS212c as a single sub with two k12.2’s. I ended up buying the KS112c. Occasionally you’d find a frequency where the 181 really shone through but for most of the stuff we played through them the 212c just had so much more punch and presence.
Where did you buy your speaker covers for your subs ?
Price pls sir
Can I pair the QSC KS112 with the QSC K12.2 ? Or would the KS112 struggle with the weight?
They would pair up nicely
They paid nicely. I have 1-KS112 with two @12.2. Thinking of going for the KS118 though.
@@DJiMike1 how's the performance indoor? How many people can accommodate with your k112 set up?
I have a single KS212C and I’m ready to sell it for a pair of the KS112. Still have yours and thoughts? I’m looking to downgrade but also be more portable at gigs with matching subs but still convenient for most gigs.
Also thought about maybe getting EV ELX12 subs instead. Looking for smallest compact 12” subs i can find.
How.do.they sound compare to.the BoseF1 subs?
Bose is trash
If you want to add a column speaker get the Turbosound Ip300. I have 4.
When they put a full grill on it I may consider getting some.
The packaged "line Array" systems don't sound nearly as good. I've just paired a set of k8.2's with a pair of budget subs (Behringer 12") and they sound much better than the RCF J8's I auditioned. I think it's because the RCF/EV systems have their midbass driver on the floor where as how you have it it's raised.
I have two of those, they are nice but for the deep bass you should go with 18-inch subs
Never understood the locking power cable…especially if it can be tripped over and unplugged from the other end. 😮
do you know if they sound as good as the QSC Ksubs ?
They sound better. KSub is the older model.
@@DjTecniq I just bought it and returned it. The Ksub sounded much better! This KS112 is a joke
Nice house
let say i have about 500 people on the dace floor how many QSC KS112 do i need ?
4
I hope and I am praying to QSC gods to make a battery powered array set up
Adrian Guerrero I don’t think they will, I don’t think QSC would go down to that level, you need real power to get a good big sound
Might ruin their reputation as a serious pro company. I don't agree!
Hello, I'm sorry, I'm Mexican, I'm using a translator, I hope you can explain me as best as possible, you have listened to the QSC's ksub, what happens is that I had 2 ksub, which in the first minutes of 2022 suffered a computer theft and I lost them, I was in love 💘 with Its clear and deep notes the problem that now I wanted to buy a couple more and they are only discontinued and the model that shows something that I have not heard and I do not know if it sounds like its predecessor the ksub I am afraid to buy it and it does not sound the same the power does not matter to me I am looking for the same sound quality 🔊 as the ksub please help ..
what song used?
This song was produced by my son “Frito”
Has anyone compared these with the yamaha dxs12mkii? Seem comparable if the dxs is in deep mode
Same question.
will the pole hold k2.12?
Yes easily
I CALLED AND TALKED TO THE QSC ENGINEERS.
They said 2 ks112 and 2 CP8S should do between 150 and 200 people max.. as a mobile DJ I never do over that.. never had a wedding over 200 people. Never did a club, or a bar that was 200.00 people..
I don't see any reason for 2 of these ks112s if you're using the CP8S.
The CP8S maximum output is 124 DB everytime you double the power ( WATTS ) you're only going to get 3DB MORE!!
So 2 CP8S will give you about 127 DB peaks with a total of 2000watts
THE KS112 has a maximum output of 128DB peaks at 2000watts..
So basically that 1 ks112 is 1db louder than a pair of CP8S!!
ANOTHER WORDS 1 KS112 IS A PERFECT MATCH FOR THOSE CP8S..
2 of the KS112S WILL OVERPOWER THE CP8S.. yes you could emphasize more bass but that just would not sound balanced.
If you want to use 2 ks112s the output would be better matched with a couple of k8.2 10.2, or 12.2s
The CP8S are not powerful enough..
In other words you can use 2 of the KS112S them if you want to BUT IF YOU WANT A BALANCE SOUND BOTH OF THOSE WILL NEVER BE PUSHED AT ALL... THEY WILL JUST BE DOING LESS WORK. YOU'RE LIFTING AN EXTRA SUBWOOFER FOR NO REASON..
;)
If you’re getting 2-KS112, perhaps 1-KS118 would be better?
@@DJiMike1 You would definitely need more powerful QSC mains If you're using two of these or one ks118..
I would rather have two KS112 because they're easier to push around and fit in your car unless you have a truck..
Where your other ?
Are you gonna sell them now that the KS118 is out lol?
lol! I would not sell them.
I'm gonna sell my ks118 for 2 of these 112. Lol.
great idea looking to go lighter
Are you saying you need 4 subs for 250 people?
why didn't you just get the KS212 and avoid buying/hauling 2 extra subs? and save about $2k
Do not wrap the. cable around the speaker pole
Ideal for my home hifi system. Wouldn’t take this out on gigs I do.
Why would you not take out to gigs?
TOYS...
What mess?!
Let's see yours Mr perfect.🤣🥴🥴🥴🤭🤭😂😂😂🤒😤👀🤫🤫
KS112s are awesome. But the C series QSC is absolute trash. I work at a major "center" but also do 180 shows a year. I've never been able to dial in anything decent on the C series. Save your pennies and get the K series. And baclk to the KS112- they're awesome. They will wow you for sure
CP series trash? Really?
