KLA Series
Active Loudspeakers
Fixed Arcuate, Active Line Array System
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 can
be deployed 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.
KLA Power Module
The KLA Series is comprised of two models, the
KLA12, a 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
and the KLA181 offers the same highly efficient
power amp module in a 1,000 W configuration. This
efficient design enables up to five KLA models (any
combination of KLA12 and KLA181) to be driven off
of a single 15 Amp/120 V or 8 Amp/230 V electrical
circuit. KLA loudspeakers incorporate QSC’s DEEP™
DSP algorithm, providing extended bass response by
actively managing potentially damaging low-frequency
transients, and GuardRail™ circuitry protection which
prevents the amplifier module from unnatural and
destructive clipping. As an energy saving feature, the
Auto Standby mode automatically engages after five
minutes of inactivity but upon resumption of audio
signal, the power module on the KLA will awaken
instantly for immediate output.
In an installed application, multiple KLA Series
loudspeakers can be “daisy-chained” for total gain
control from a single remote pot wired to the
on-board Euroblock connector. Additional power
module characteristics on KLA include a balanced,
line-level XLR input in parallel with an XLR "Thru"
connector, PowerCON
®
In and Out connectors,
Attenuation Control and LED indicators for Signal,
Limit and Power and Standby status.
KLA12
Housed in a rugged ABS enclosure that results in both
light weight and long-term durability, the KLA12 features
a 12-inch low frequency transducer coupled with a
1.75-inch compression driver. Designed to be used
exclusively as a fixed arcuate line array, each KLA12
is set at a 90˚ x 18˚ splay angle, allowing 90˚ vertical
arrays to be configured using only five boxes (most
other solutions require six). KLA’s unique self-contained
SOLO™ (Single-Operator Logistics) Rigging System
enables users to quickly assemble (and disassemble)
the line array in a fraction of the time as other fixed
arcuate line array systems and without the need for
special tools or external hardware.
