Product Overview

The QSC KLA181 line array loudspeaker can be deployed in a fraction of the time required by comparable line array products with its simple "Lift, Click and Play" approach. This fixed arcuate, active line array speaker is ideal for a wide range of portable and permanently installed applications ranging from live entertainment to houses of worship, or other venues where a line array system is desired.

Note: Product image is of the black version, this model comes in a white finish.

KLA loudspeakers incorporate QSC's DEEP™ DSP algorithm, providing extended bass response by actively managing potentially damaging low-frequency transients - and GuardRail™ circuitry protection which prevents the amplifier module from unnatural and destructive clipping. As an energy saving feature, the Auto Standby mode automatically engages after five minutes of inactivity but upon resumption of audio signal, the power module on the KLA will awaken instantly for immediate output.

In an installed application, multiple KLA Series loudspeakers can be "daisy-chained" for total gain control from a single remote pot wired to the on-board Phoenix-style connector. Additional power module characteristics on KLA include a balanced, line-level XLR input in parallel with an XLR "Thru" connector, PowerCon™ In and Thru connectors, Attenuation Control and LED indicators for Signal, Limit, Power and Standby status.

In addition to DEEP™ DSP algorithm, GuardRail™, Auto Standby, balanced line-level XLR input with an XLR "Thru" connector, Attenuation Control and LED indicators, the KLA181 subwoofer also includes a polarity switch for low frequency directivity control. Two KLA12 enclosures can be mounted over the KLA181 or the KW181 subwoofer via a threaded pole socket, or without a sub using an appropriately rated loudspeaker stand. Arrays of up to 480 lbs (218 kg) (with a maximum 5 KLA12 and 2 KLA181 enclosures) can be flown via the included M10 fittings or the optional KLA AF12 array frame.
