Thanks for your Input Chris any other recommendations? I really need something Ultra Reliable I have a bunch of shows coming up.... Price really doesn't mattercompared to CLRs and NX12-SMA, the K12 have hyped low and high end, so be prepared to adjust for that - probably global EQ. many run the Bass cut on the speaker itself, but there's nothing for the top end. the system itself is rock-solid i feel, so reliability is pretty high. if you can though, go to a music store and compare it to the Yamaha DXR12. i felt that one was a bit more balanced, though i haven't used it on a gig. gigged for years with a pair of K10 speakers, and those were great after shaping the low and high end.
i think the K series are tanks. of course, anything can go wrong, but all my fellow audio guys who use Ks have not had issues. i haven't gigged the Yamaha DXR, but similar reports from my friends as well. i don't think anything more expensive would do any better for that, only if it sounds better to you. i'd definitely stay away from Mackie and JBL. EV is typically good. i'm sure i'm forgetting some other good ones.Thanks for your Input Chris any other recommendations? I really need something Ultra Reliable I have a bunch of shows coming up....

N the K series QSCs there is a switch for using it with an external sub. I switch that on and it helps tremendously with the bassyness.compared to CLRs and NX12-SMA, the K12 have hyped low and high end, so be prepared to adjust for that - probably global EQ. many run the Bass cut on the speaker itself, but there's nothing for the top end. the system itself is rock-solid i feel, so reliability is pretty high. if you can though, go to a music store and compare it to the Yamaha DXR12. i felt that one was a bit more balanced, though i haven't used it on a gig. gigged for years with a pair of K10 speakers, and those were great after shaping the low and high end.
Thanks for the info !!I don't have hyped low end, or any more highs than any other frfr cab. Set to normal mode, high cut in cab block like everyone else, tweak patch. I've never had one sound man say I have hyped bass and highs. Only compliments, and it's never failed me, 10 year warranty.
I believe you, but it's so strange. Many k12 users say there is a lot of low end, and yet others strongly say the low end is comparable to any other speaker. *shrugs* I think we are all correct, but it's just weird.I don't have hyped low end, or any more highs than any other frfr cab.

Somewhere on this or other forums you will find a post, or posts, from Jay Mitchell describing a corrective EQ for the QSC K10s as well as a suggestion to flip the wires on the tweeter because he discovered that their tweeters are out of phase.
Some of this info might be useful to K12 users as well, esp the bit about the tweeter being out-of-phase.
It's an easy mod to try.
K10s rock too. I use them more than my K12s
