    As a cocalist I am using this speaker for performing with my band. I used to have a speaker and that would never help my voice to be heard when the bass, guitar and other instruments speakers would blare. This is an awesome speaker that is loud enough and no vibrations or noise. A perfect speaker with a decent price. Small in size and easy to carry along. #sweepstakes

  • Absolutely great speaker

    This is the 4th I've bought. The 8.2 have a wide dispersion pattern and great coverage. I use for small acoustic shows and full band in smaller venues. 2 as monitors and and 2 for house covers a lot of situations.

  • Very loud and crisp

    Used this for two gigs so far. One was a small bar about 75 capacity and another maybe 200 capacity. It didn't even break a sweat. Volume was up maybe 20%. Tone was fine for vocals. I tried playing my guitar straight into it and was under impressed. I haven't tried going back with a preamp. Which I think would help.

    Very clear sound, more than enough power. Worth the price. If you are considering the QCS K series, go for it.

    Just purchased this QSCK 8.2. Very powerful speaker for compact size. I'm a solo musician, vocal, and guitar player. Had a couple of weddings that I've used them for and corporate event this past week. Amazing power perfect for 120 people and under.

    They should not. Make sure all volume controls are at zero before turning off.
