The origins of QSC can be traced back to founder Pat Quilter’s unconventional decision to walk away from college so that he could focus on building his own electronics. Pat moved to Southern California to further his experiments, placing himself in the middle of a community of musicians and artists. Being awarded several design patents was the result of Pat’s dedication to helping evolve guitar amplifiers into professional audio amplifiers. Eventually, QSC was founded in Pat’s small garage in Costa Mesa, California, selling power amplifiers assembled on wood and steel benches one-by-one from the back of a van. Throughout its history, QSC has set its sights on empowering performers by providing exceptional products and unparalleled support. Today, QSC prides itself on being a leading manufacturer and global innovator. The international operations boast R&D, manufacturing, sales, and marketing support and operations teams.
The QSC Loudspeaker line includes everything from powered subwoofers and line arrays to installation and cinema solutions. Solotech’s best selling QSC loudspeaker is the K12-2 12-Inch 2-Way Powered Speaker. This lightweight standard is perfect for the touring DJ and is considered one of the finest speakers you can buy for under $1,000. If you’re looking for something a bit more compact, QSC offers the K10-2 and the K8-2. On the bass side of things, the QSC KS118, another Solotech favorite, is a 3,600-Watt 18-inch high output active subwoofer that creates an extremely impressive low frequency. Another popular option is the KS112, QSC’s 12-inch 2,000-Watt subwoofer.
