Audio engineers and rental houses looking for a portable, versatile, and simple to use PA will be thrilled with the 8" QSC K8.2, a 2000W powered PA speaker that functions as a main PA in a wide variety of positions and with a pair, can cover an audience up to 250. The onboard DSP processing, 3-input mixer, and LCD interface with easy-to-use presets help working presenters, musicians, instructors, performers, and A/V providers get powerful, clean, and clear sound quickly.

The speaker provides 105° coverage from the center axis and 122 dB of continuous SPL—plenty of volume for smaller venues including houses of worship, conference centers, performance spaces, and meeting rooms. The highly efficient 2000W Class-D amplifier powers the 1.4" titanium compression driver and 8” woofer, providing crisp, detailed sound with a wide frequency range from 20 kHz down to 59 Hz.

At 27 lbs and featuring an integrated handle, the K8.2 is the most portable option in the K.2 lineup, at the expense of the additional volume and low-end range that the larger and heavier 10” and 12” models can deliver.

Three inputs are on the back. Inputs A and B feature combo XLR-1/4" connectors. Input A offers a Microphone input or a Line input—convenient if you’re using a mixer to combine multiple input sources. Input B offers a Mic/Hi-Z selection, with the Hi-Z input designed for guitars. Input C features a stereo 3.5mm TRS auxiliary input for connecting portable audio devices including phones and MP3 players.

Individual gain controls on the inputs allow the speaker to function as a 3-channel mixer. Combine two microphones for presentations, or combine a mic, instrument, and backing tracks for singer/songwriter gigs. All the PA speakers in the K.2 Series can also be used as floor monitors, giving them added versatility.

Inputs A and B also feature XLR Thru-Outputs for daisy-chaining to additional speakers or other audio equipment. All three mono inputs are mixed to a mono signal internally and are passed-thru the Mix Out XLR connector. For a true stereo L/R operation, two K8.2s are needed with each to receive independent the left and right signals respectively.

QSC's Directivity Matched Transition (DMT) matches the angle of the woofer and the horn to ensure consistent, high-quality sound across the entire coverage area. The Intrinsic Correction techniques ensure a smooth power response, resulting in accurate performance in a wide range of acoustic spaces with little or no EQ. The K8.2 includes a power cord.

      Related Questions and Answers

      Q: 1. Are you able to hear incoming calls while around heavy equipment?

      A: Yes, you will not have any connection issues when receiving calls around heavy machinery. If you are asking about if the ringer is loud enough for heavy industrial environments, that depends on the ambient noise level of the area.

      Q: 2. Will it charge with only 1 or 2 batteries?

      A: Yes, the TELESIN NP-BX1 Portable Charging Case with Two Batteries Kit can charge up to 3 batteries simultaneously.

      Q: 3. I apologize for double posting, but I have a few other questions about this product that I forgot to ask. That is, what is the speed ring diameter for this light? How many accessories can it hold simultaneously? (Scrims, filter frames, barn-doors, etc). How far from the light should I place my filters to avoid over-heating / setting them on fire?Also, regarding my first question: Can this light be safely mounted on a truss system? , I meant mounting it on a truss system using the baby receiver and a super clamp with a 5/8 baby pin.

      A: The speed ring diameter for this Arri light is 9 -5/8. An example of such is the Chimera Modular Speed Ring for ARRI M8 and Zylight F8 B&H # CH9213OP, which can be used the the Octaplus and Video Pro Plus Softboxes also from Chimera. In terms of holding scrims, the T2 offers adjustable accessory brackets to allow you to hold either 2 or 4 scrims at a time. If using scrims with a gel holder, normally the gel holder should be placed in front of the scrims. As for hanging this light with a Super Clamp and a 5/8 baby pin, that would be possible if using a Manfrotto Super Clamp, B&H # MA035RL which has a maximum load capacity is 33.1 lbs. Please see the images below for reference.

      Q: 4. Can two people plug into either speaker with separate lavalier mics and broadcast their audio simultaneously?

      A: Yes, two people can amplify simultaneously using the SMK-Link VP3450 GoSpeak Duet Ultra-Portable Wireless Personal PA System. Keep in mind that this product contains one handheld microphone and one lavalier microphone, to use two lavaliers you would need to purchase a second lavalier microphone.

      Q: 7. Bought 2x T2’s with 2x CYX Lamp (2000W / 120V) globes. Used on Australian house power. The globes blew straight away. My wiring had multiple continuity checks with different multimeters. All fine. No Earth leakage. Was this because the globe is 120V and Australian globes are 240? Or is there another error? I’m asking before another test. Don’t want to waste money on another globe. Thanks

      A: A 120V lamp will not work with 240V power. You will need to purchase an FKK CP41 Lamp (2000W 240V). Please follow the link below leading you to my top recommendation. https://bhpho.to/2OwOYSx
