QSC Releases Deeply Disturbing Subwoofer

New sub disturbs the waters with an 18-inch pumping 3600 watts with onboard DSP and DEEP mode for extra low end extension.

1 October 2019

Succeeding the highly acclaimed KW181 powered subwoofer, QSC is pleased to introduce the KS118, the newest member of the KS Series subwoofer family. With its robust design, legendary QSC amplification and versatile DSP features, the KS118 is the perfect choice for mobile entertainment, AV rental, event production, clubs and performance venues.

Featuring a long excursion 18-inch direct radiating driver powered by a 3600 Watt Class D amplifier, the KS118 delivers high sound pressure levels with dynamic and musical sound reproduction of very low frequencies. On-board DSP optimises and protects system performance while also offering advanced capabilities such as the ability to array two units in a cardioid arrangement, maximising low frequency output in front while minimising unwanted energy around the sides and rear of the system. DEEP mode provides additional low frequency extension and driver excursion processing.

Highly transportable, the rugged and stylish premium birch enclosure features comfortable, aluminium handles and four, rear-mounted low-noise casters. A top-mounted M20 threaded pole receptacle accepts a 35 mm pole for easy vertical deployment with K.2 Series and other full-range loudspeakers.

The KS118 is the latest addition to QSC’s active subwoofer range which also includes the ultra-compact, single 12-inch KS112 and the double 12-inch cardioid KS212C which offers controlled directionality of low frequencies and is particularly suited to applications with live microphones.
