DEEP™ mode
The KS118 comes equipped with new, proprietary DSP called DEEP mode, which extends low-frequency response and delivers clear, snappy transients. With this mode engaged, this subwoofer goes all the way down to 35 Hz, providing huge sub-frequencies to add extra thump and presence to the bass of any gig.
Recallable scenes
Live shows can throw a lot of challenges and things to suddenly adapt to your way. New bands, new instruments, and differently-sized crowds can all change the response of a venue, so ensuring that your bass is controlled is the best way to get a balanced mix and prevent feedback on-stage. With the KS118's scenes mode, you can store specific settings to fit certain setups, maybe you want a cardioid subwoofer array one night, and then you want to stack a pole-mounted full-range PA on top the next. With scenes, you can keep all of the options that you need to do this and sound great in the process, saving and recalling crossover, speaker delays, omnidirectional or cardioid radiation, and DEEP mode settings.
Portability
Subwoofers are big, heavy and tough to move. The KS118's relatively lightweight but durable birch plywood enclosure, heavy-duty casters, and side-mounted handles make this much easier to move around or between venues for bands and engineers on the go, or when you need to change your setup.
Reviews
"QSC's new KS118 subwoofers are powerful, flexible and neat. They combine great delivery with a relatively compact physical form, and the cardioid capability is something that can benefit just about any live sound setup." - Sound on Sound KS118 Review
