Status, October 2026: current. QSC still lists the K12.2.
What it is
The K12.2 is a 12-inch powered loudspeaker from QSC, the largest of the three full-range K.2 Series models. QSC's K.2 FAQ calls K.2 the second generation of its K Series and sets the K12.2 against the original K12: more than twice the peak amplifier power, an LCD with adjustable crossover, delay and EQ, and 17.7 kg instead of 18.6 kg. QSC announced the range on 17 April 2017 for sale from mid-May (QSC launch news).
It pairs a 12-inch cone woofer with a 1.4-inch titanium compression driver, crossed at 2 kHz, and QSC's Directivity Matched Transition design gives 75° coverage. A Class D module rated at 2000 W peak, 1800 W for the woofer and 225 W for the driver, is cooled by a low-noise variable-speed fan. QSC rates it at 132 dB peak and 126 dB continuous at 1 m, and 50 Hz to 20 kHz at -6 dB.
The rear panel is a small three-channel mixer: two locking XLR/1/4-inch combo inputs, one switchable to mic level and one to Hi-Z for instruments, and a 3.5 mm input that sums to mono, each with its own level. Inputs A and B loop through on XLR, and a third XLR carries the mix. An LCD and a rotary encoder reach 11 factory presets such as Live, Dance and Stage Monitor, five user scenes, a four-band cut-only EQ, up to 100 ms of delay and crossover settings for QSC subwoofers. There is no Bluetooth.
The ABS cabinet doubles as a floor monitor and has straight and 7.5° down-tilt pole cups and M10 rigging points. It measures 602 x 356 x 350 mm and weighs 17.7 kg. The box holds the speaker, a locking power cord and paperwork, and registering within 30 days extends the warranty to six years.
