With the QSC KW153 its efficient Class D power, smart DSP modes, and 3-way dedicated drivers for highs, lows, and midrange, 1000 watts never sounded so good
QSC has set the standard for powered PA loudspeakers with their industry-leading K series and KW series. With 1000 watts of room-filling sound and smart onboard DSP to help you get the most out of those watts, it"'s no wonder these PA speakers are huge hits. And the QSC KW153 loudspeaker is no exception. QSC KW153 make killer main PA speakers in high-SPL, long-throw applications. Pair them with subs in the corners of dance clubs. Set them up as side-fills on large stages. With these speakers in your rig, there aren"'t many gigs you can"'t handle. Each KW153 weighs 87 pounds, with handles placed at just the right height to make them portable.
Reinforce the Midrange with a Three-Way PA
The only three-way loudspeaker in QSC"'s K family, the QSC KW153 has dedicated drivers for high, mid, and low frequencies: a 1.75"" HF compression driver, a 6.5"" midrange cone, and a 15"" woofer for the lows. The KW153"'s 15-inch woofer cone digs down to a thunderous 35 Hz, while the dedicated midrange horn reinforces the real star of your mix: the vocals and instrumental solos. Since these speakers boast a frequency response all the way down to 35 Hz, you"'re that much less likely to require dedicated subs.
KW is for Kilowatt: 1000 Watts of Class D Power
Like the other loudspeakers in the QSC K and KW series, the QSC KW153 is a powered, active speaker with 1000 watts of lightweight Class D amplification. These speakers"' built-in Class D power amps employ QSC"'s Guardrail limiter to prevent destructive clipping distortion and woofer over-excursion, while a virtually silent internal fan turns on when the amp senses high temperatures -- making the KW153 truly robust.
DEEP Mode: Bigger Bass Output, Less Distortion
To get impressive bass output from 1000 watts, all Ks and KWs employ DEEP: Digital Extension and Excursion Processing. Flip the DEEP switch on the back of your QSC KW153, and this virtually transparent limiter kicks in to increase the average output of bass frequencies. Much more than just a low-frequency EQ boost, DEEP employs sophisticated DSP to identify and limit brief low-frequency transients while preventing distortion.
* 1000-watt Class D power modules in all models (2 × 500 W continuous)
* Onboard mixer with two combo XLR and ¼” inputs, and stereo RCA inputs, (three audio input sources); two direct channel outputs and single summed balanced output

* Rugged, texture-painted birch enclosures

Great portable speaker.
Loving this new addition. No cables needed and very low latency. Can't even notice it. Great for being portable and I use it as a sub in my music room. Battery life is great and it's easy to set up.
Does the job perfectly and mix foundation shipped it to me in record speed.

Kinda essential upgrade
Thanks for the advice and quick postage. Upgraded from 2M red to the blue stylus. Night and day in terms of accuracy. Don’t think just buy the blue if you have a red currently. Not an audiophile but difference was extremely noticeable. Put on a project debut carbon.

Great mixer!
Loving my new mixer. It's great to get rid of extra cables for my old sound card, and I'm enjoying all the extra effects that my DJM 800 didnt have. This was delivered really quickly and there was great communication from Mix Foundation.

The best sound!!!
The best I've ever heard as a DJ using this pair of cartridges and stills. Fortunately, I spoke with Grant's, who helped me with my choice.

No Frills work horse
Can't go wrong with a solid performing workhorse head shell prewired for you to just fit the cartridge. It is an SME bayonet fit - for "S" shaped tone arms like that used by technics on their Turntables and you just cannot ask for more at the price point. Works well for both the 2M and the new MC X range of cartridges. I have a 2M Black MM and X40 MC fitted to this head shell - no problems working well.

Right out of the box - no run-in it sounds open and transparent.
Open and transparent - solid bass, beautiful mid range and highs.
Tight is the word and low surface noise.
With everything equal - sound is open, extracting all there is in the grove.
A step up - yes - from the 2M black.
40 hours they say to run-in - going to be a sound experience.
Best buy for me - sure to bring me pleasure for hours.
A worthy cartridge to try and a keeper.

Decksaver - saver of the decks
This product is really great! I'm impressed. It fit's very snugly and offers support and protection in a very clever and simple way. I've not had to test it, but I feel confident it will do what it says on the tin.....just not maybe under the weight of a human....but you never know! :) I recommend it!

Quality cable
Bought two of these for Playback duties. I have used poor cables in the past and paid the price. Bought these cables years ago and they never let me down. Bought another set for another band Playback setup. Never let me down.
