Anyone played the KPA with a QSC K12 speaker?

    I'm wondering if anyone has played this combination. I remember the QSC getting rave reviews a few years ago when it came out. How does it sound with a Kemper?

    When you turn the knob on KPA, you wake up the captured souls of tube amps living inside.

    I used a single k12 for several months when I first got my KPA (I had the K12 already). It sounded ok with some KPA output eq adjustments but never really rocked my world. Bass always seemed to be hyped and loose and the high end was harsh sounding on many profiles even after eq adjustment. I sold it and bought a Yamaha DXR10 and am still totally happy with it.


    I preferred the QSC K12 for general music playback and for acoustic and vocal amplification, but for simple stage monitoring and as a designated Kemper powered speaker I much prefer the DXR10.


    Hope it helps.

    I am using K 10 , and agree with previous post 100 % :thumbup:

    So, you're saying that you are unhappy with your tone coming from the K10? Are you looking for something different?

    I cannot say I am unhappy , just agree with previous post.
    Some profiles may sounds very good , some not through K 10 , that's all.
    I suppose there might be better solutions.
    Still not looking for something else , since I play a lot using Kemper through hand wired valve head amp and Mesa 2x12 cab .
    I know, I know, it not giving me 100% neutral sound, but coloured by amp and cab, but I like it , it is so alive and kicking that air...

    I've not used one of these, but did go to the matrix factory in Monmouth where they let me try a range of cabs with my powered kemper and eventually bought a lightweight nl12 cab, which is super lightweight, yet pushes out a huge sound


    It's not full frfr but is wider than a normal cab, and for a majority of gigs is the perfect partner, and soooo easy to transport, just this and the kemper on top is great
