The biggest Sounding Powered Loudspeaker in the K Family

The QSC KW153 speakers pack a wallop, with a 1,000-watt class D amplifier built-in. The KW153 uses QSC's DEEP DSP algorithm, giving users more accurate low end and protecting the LF driver from damage, enhancing bass without causing "boom." Additionally, QSC's Intrinsic Correction DSP balances the low and high frequencies so your listeners hear a smooth blend of notes throughout the audio register. These compact speakers can be mounted from a wall, ceiling or on a speaker pole. The KW153's attractive design, frequency range all the way down to 33 Hz and its Remote Gain Control feature make it an ideal installation speaker. Use them by themselves as your main speakers, or combine them with KW 181 subwoofers for even more depth.

  • Extensive DSP featuring DEEP™ and Intrinsic Correction™ enhances system performance
