QSC KS118

QSC KS118 hire in Melbourne. An 18 inch powered subwoofer with 3600 watts behind it, for when the music needs to be felt as well as heard.

Subwoofer hire is the single biggest upgrade you can make to a PA. The KS118 puts an 18 inch driver behind a 3600 watt Class D amp, so a pair of QSC K12.2 tops stop trying to do sub work and keep sounding clean at high volume. Onboard DSP lines it up with the K.2 series in two button presses and two KS118s can be set up in a cardioid array that pushes the low end at the crowd and keeps it off the stage and away from the neighbours. It's the sub in our Platinum PA and Band PA packages, and the one we run on our own events.

It's also an even better box than the old QSC KW181 we used to hire, and more compact. The enclosure has proper casters and a handle, so one person can roll it up a ramp, and the M20 thread on top takes a distance rod to stack a K12.2 above it.

Good for: DJ events, warehouse parties, live bands, brand activations, nightclubs, bars, festival stages and bigger playback setups.

Good to know: One sub lifts the whole system. Two subs change the neighbour situation. It needs a wagon, 4WD or van to move. Distance rods are a separate line, so add one per sub if you're stacking tops on it.
