QSC K8.2 – 8-Inch 2000W Powered Portable PA Speaker with DSP

Product Overview

The QSC K8.2 is an 8-inch powered portable PA speaker that pairs a 2000-watt Class-D module with onboard DSP in a compact, lightweight cabinet. As a two-way active loudspeaker with an integrated speaker processor, it delivers high output and wide 105-degree coverage for live sound, presentations, and portable reinforcement in houses of worship, multi-purpose rooms, and training rooms. A multi-function display provides crossover, EQ, delay, and frequency-contour presets, making the K8.2 a flexible 8-inch powered loudspeaker for both main PA and floor-monitor use.

Product Description

The K8.2 combines a 203 mm (8-inch) cone woofer with a 35.6 mm (1.4-inch) titanium-diaphragm compression driver, driven by a 2000-watt Class-D module (1800 W LF, 225 W HF) for a maximum rated SPL of 128 dB peak and 122 dB continuous at 1 m. A low-noise variable-speed fan keeps the speaker usable in quiet rooms, while QSC Directivity Matched Transition (DMT) and Intrinsic Correction tuning produce uniform 105-degree axisymmetric coverage. The onboard DSP offers crossover, EQ, delay, and frequency-contour control plus savable and recallable Scenes, and an optional K-LOC security cover prevents tampering. Housed in an impact-resistant ABS enclosure with dual pole cups (0 or 7.5-degree tilt) and integrated M10 fittings for suspension, the K8.2 also accepts an optional K8.2 yoke mount for permanent installation. At 27 lb it is highly portable, and it is backed by a global 6-year warranty.

Key Features

• 2000 W Class-D Power Module — Delivers 1800 W to the LF driver and 225 W to the HF driver for a maximum rated SPL of 128 dB peak / 122 dB continuous at 1 m.
• Integrated DSP and Display — A multi-function display provides crossover, EQ, delay, and frequency-contour control plus savable Scenes for fast recall.
• Wide 105-Degree Coverage — DMT and Intrinsic Correction tuning produce uniform 105-degree axisymmetric coverage with accurate response.
• Compact and Light — At 27 lb in an impact-resistant ABS cabinet, the K8.2 is easy to transport and deploy.
• Low-Noise Cooling — A variable-speed fan keeps operating noise low for quiet rooms and presentations.
• Versatile Deployment — Dual pole cups with 0 or 7.5-degree tilt, integrated M10 suspension points, and floor-monitor capability suit both main PA and stage use.
• Flexible Inputs and DSP Scenes — Onboard processing with recallable Scenes stores EQ, delay, and input settings for repeatable setups.

Typical Applications

• House of worship main PA and monitoring
• Multi-purpose rooms and all-hands rooms
• Training rooms and presentation spaces
• Auditoriums requiring portable reinforcement

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the K8.2 differ from the K10.2? The K8.2 uses an 8-inch woofer with wider 105-degree coverage in a lighter 27 lb cabinet, while the K10.2 uses a 10-inch woofer with 90-degree coverage for higher output and lower-frequency reach.

Can it be used as a floor monitor? Yes. The enclosure supports both main PA and floor-monitor orientations, with DSP presets to tune each role.

How does it mount for permanent installation? Integrated M10 fittings allow eyebolt suspension, and an optional K8.2 yoke mount supports fixed wall or ceiling installation; dual pole cups provide 0 or 7.5-degree tilt.

What inputs and processing does it include? Onboard DSP provides crossover, EQ, delay, and frequency contour with savable Scenes, and a multi-function display gives direct access to settings.

What warranty applies? QSC backs the K8.2 with a global 6-year warranty; contact Creation Networks support for installation guidance and AV integration assistance.
