QSC K.2 K8.2 Overview

This B&H Kit combines a pair of QSC K8.2 K.2 Series 8" 2000W Powered Speakers with two heavy-duty soft tote bags, two steel speaker stands, a speaker stand bag, and two XLR cables to create an essential package to easily transport, set up, and connect your K8.2 speaker system for public address, live sound reinforcement, DJ, or karaoke applications in clubs, schools, houses of worship, event spaces, and more.

QSC K8.2 Two-Way 8" 2000W Powered Portable PA Speaker with DSP Processor

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.

Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series Neutrik XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable (25', Black)

The black Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable (25') is designed to be an extremely quiet and flexible cable that is ideal for the most demanding live sound and performance applications. The cable is engineered to be durable and provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise. While the cable's color-coding affords the ability to quickly differentiate between multiple connections onstage, it provides a pleasant aesthetic quality at the same time.

Premium Performance 3000 Series cables are made from 24-AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. The 95% dual-spiral shielding makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

95% dual-spiral shielding offers protection from EMI and RFI noise
Twin conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables and helps prevents external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core
24-AWG oxygen-free stranded copper inner core provides the best possible conductivity
Cotton yarn reduces electrostatic and microphonic noise
All solder points shrink-wrapped for protection
Neutrik XX silver connectors offer high conductivity
Caged type contact and improved ground contact

QSC K.2 K8.2 Reviews

Pinnacle of size and performance

By Robert
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-04

I've been around the K8's for years, and finally pulled the trigger on a pair of the K8.2. They meet every expectation and can fill a room, barn or couple acres in open space. A true workhorse of an active speaker. You will not be disappointed.

Great Speakers

These speakers work great as a PA for the type of events we do. Never any issues, small, lite weight and nice bags to go with them...

How loud is the fan in db? Does it have variable speeds? Does the fan slow down when the speaker is in standby mode?
Asked by: Dallin
The QSC K8.2 Two-Way 8" 2000W Powered Portable PA Speaker with DSP Processor (BH # QSK82) features a very quiet, low-noise fan. Once the amplifier reaches a certain temperature, the fan engages at very a low speed, and as the amplifier heats up, a clever algorithm in the DSP will instruct the fan to speed up accordingly. There are no published specifications for the dB level but it is not audible while content is playing.
