Introduction
The KLA Series brings the power and sophistication of a line-array system into an easy-to-use product significantly redefining the line-array-product
category. With its simple Lift, Click and Play approach, KLA deploys in a fraction of the time required by comparable line-array products. This fixed
arcuate, active line-array system is ideal for a wide range of portable and permanently installed applications ranging from live entertainment to houses
of worship or other venues where a line-array system is desired.
The KLA Series is comprised of two models: the KLA12 12-inch, 2-way loudspeaker and the KLA181 18-inch subwoofer. The KLA12 features a highly
efficient 500 W x 500 W power-amp module in a rugged, lightweight ABS enclosure that can be used in multiple configurations using QSC's unique
SOLO™ (Single-Operator Logistics) Rigging System and/or Tilt-Direct™ 35 mm pole socket. The KLA181 offers the same highly efficient power-amp
module in a 1,000 W configuration in a birch plywood enclosure. KLA Series loudspeaker models incorporate:
QSC’s DEEP™ DSP algorithm, providing extended bass response by actively managing potentially damaging low-frequency transients,
GuardRail™ circuitry protection that prevents the amplifier module from unnatural and destructive clipping,
Intrinsic Correction™ (KLA12) to correct for inherent characteristics of the loudspeakers, waveguide, and enclosures,
Ar-Q™ to make equalization adjustments based on the number of KLA12s in the array,
Auto Standby mode that automatically engages after five minutes of inactivity, but upon resumption of audio signal, the power module on the KLA
awakens instantly for immediate output.
Remote Gain control capability in an installed application using a single potentiometer wired to a Euro-style connector.
Balanced, line-level XLR input, in parallel with an XLR output, for distributing the audio signal to multiple loudspeakers.
powerCON® AC In and AC Out connectors for powering up to five loudspeakers on a single 15 amp/120 V (8 amp/240 V) electrical circuit.
Other features include LED indicators for Signal and Limit, and discrete LED indicators for Power/Standby status.
