QSC K12 Gain

[MikeW]

Hi Guys
I purchased a pair of K12s last week. Not had a chance to gig them yet ( should be this Friday ) I just wanted to confirm where the gain level on the speakers should be. I was told 12oclock in the shop, I take it that is correct.

Thanks in advance.

I used to have it at 50% (12noon) But since using them with the Driverack PX it has recommend no more than 30% and that has been fine. Sometimes I have brought it up a couple of notches but never had to get that high with the Driverack PX attached.

Thanks Lee. How long have you used the Driverack PX? Did you feel the K12s were not good enough on their own? Did you hear a big difference?

It's where I run my K10s.

Thanks. Not that I plan to, but has anyone ran them past 12?

Hmm , doesn't your driverack allow for various settings at both the active speaker/amplifier end AND the driverack end ?

As long as the gain setting in the driverack display corresponds with the gain settings on the active speaker/amplifier there shouldn't be a problem.

I bought the K12s (and KSubs) last Nov. Bought the DriverackPX in July to go with an A&H mixing desk. The driverack has made a noticeable difference to the sound, particulary in weirdly shaped rooms. The K12s sounded great when I was manually EQing the sound with a simple Graphic EQ... but now sound even better as they are not cutting anything but the exact rogue frequencies - whereas I was cutting clumps of them to match the shape of the room manually.

Thanks Lee. I think I understood that. It's all a bit technical for me
I think I will just use the 12s and then add a bass bin at some point.
