QSC K 10 Small Beautiful & Loud

[Dynamic Entertainment]

I'd be looking to stick them in situations where I would currently use a set of Mackie SRM450 V1s or Warrior PSR15a's. I am leaning towards RCF purely because I already have an ART705AS sub, but it is big and heavy so I would only want to use this for larger 100+ gigs.

For up to 100 people maybe I would be looking to use the 10s on their own. I do quite a lot of small parties and shorter teen parties where it is good if I can setup and carry the equipment in easily without my backbreaking PSR15A's (30kg each!)

Am I really asking too much and would I be selling the customer short ?

Go for the RCF ART312A then. they are 12" and will cope easily with upto 100 people as long as you dont want thumping bass. The best thing about them, is that they are better suited when you do use the sub...

I've heard great things about the 312as..

However I think what I am looking for is the best balanced / bass respomnse sound I can get out of a set of 10s ideally or 12s

I use the sub now with my srm450s and I don't notice any problems with 'matching'. Most of the problems I get are with positioning with certainb parts of the room being boomy.

I'm happy to mix brands if I can lose the sub on the <100 people gigs

Gonn have to have a listen ...

I am also looking at possibly buying new speakers next year and the QSC range looks very good. Most people seem to go for the K10. I would be looking to buy the speakers first and then in a few months going for a QSC bass bin.
I normally play to between 150 and 200 people in small to medium size rooms, and I was wondering if the K10s on their own would cope with this. Or should I go for the K12.
I will also want us them in larger venues, when required.

Anyone got any thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance.

Mike.

I bought the K12s and Ksubs just 2 months ago. I previously had SRM450v2s now they are used as back-up.

If you are planning on using the subs all the time then go with the K10s as they can be used with longer poles. Quilter Sound Corp don't recommend using a longer pole with the K12s for safety reasons! I have had no choice. The factory issue pole has the sound hitting the middle of peoples chests. They seriously need to be head height or above.

pics have been posted recently on this forum.. . search for QSC. You'll see the height diff of the new poles in the later pics.

i regularly use the k12s on their own and once played to about 160 people without a sub, as there were some power issues, and they coped admirably

Thanks for that Lee, I will do a search. It sounds (pun intended)as though the K12s might be the better option for my situation.

Your dead right there Lee if you have the QSC subs then the right match is the K10s as the subs have such a small footprint they get very top heavy also the 10s suit the subs sound wise and thats always the combination we sell.
Just a idea you could contact Mike he buys some K10s and you do a swap could work out for booth of you.

when i bought the k'12's i was torn as the 10's have a wider dispertion and to me sounded tighter than the 12's,but i will say i am not dissapointed with the 12's at all.

a lot of the work the 12's do is weddings and corporate stuff averaging 150 people,and the 12's cope easily,quality not quantity.
