With the QSC KW153 its efficient Class D power, smart DSP modes, and 3-way dedicated drivers for highs, lows, and midrange, 1000 watts never sounded so good
QSC has set the standard for powered PA loudspeakers with their industry-leading K series and KW series. With 1000 watts of room-filling sound and smart onboard DSP to help you get the most out of those watts, it"'s no wonder these PA speakers are huge hits. And the QSC KW153 loudspeaker is no exception. QSC KW153 make killer main PA speakers in high-SPL, long-throw applications. Pair them with subs in the corners of dance clubs. Set them up as side-fills on large stages. With these speakers in your rig, there aren"'t many gigs you can"'t handle. Each KW153 weighs 87 pounds, with handles placed at just the right height to make them portable.
Reinforce the Midrange with a Three-Way PA
The only three-way loudspeaker in QSC"'s K family, the QSC KW153 has dedicated drivers for high, mid, and low frequencies: a 1.75"" HF compression driver, a 6.5"" midrange cone, and a 15"" woofer for the lows. The KW153"'s 15-inch woofer cone digs down to a thunderous 35 Hz, while the dedicated midrange horn reinforces the real star of your mix: the vocals and instrumental solos. Since these speakers boast a frequency response all the way down to 35 Hz, you"'re that much less likely to require dedicated subs.
KW is for Kilowatt: 1000 Watts of Class D Power
Like the other loudspeakers in the QSC K and KW series, the QSC KW153 is a powered, active speaker with 1000 watts of lightweight Class D amplification. These speakers"' built-in Class D power amps employ QSC"'s Guardrail limiter to prevent destructive clipping distortion and woofer over-excursion, while a virtually silent internal fan turns on when the amp senses high temperatures -- making the KW153 truly robust.
DEEP Mode: Bigger Bass Output, Less Distortion
To get impressive bass output from 1000 watts, all Ks and KWs employ DEEP: Digital Extension and Excursion Processing. Flip the DEEP switch on the back of your QSC KW153, and this virtually transparent limiter kicks in to increase the average output of bass frequencies. Much more than just a low-frequency EQ boost, DEEP employs sophisticated DSP to identify and limit brief low-frequency transients while preventing distortion.
* 1000-watt Class D power modules in all models (2 × 500 W continuous)
* Onboard mixer with two combo XLR and ¼” inputs, and stereo RCA inputs, (three audio input sources); two direct channel outputs and single summed balanced output
* Extensive DSP featuring DEEP™ and Intrinsic Correction™ enhances system performance
* DMT™ (Directivity Matched Transition) ensures uniform coverage across the entire sound field
* Rugged, texture-painted birch enclosures
* Four-position Mic/Line gain
* Tour-grade 16 gauge steel grilles
* Comfortable ergonomic handles
* 35 mm standard (non-tilt) pole socket
* M10 rigging points for suspended installation

Superb service from Mix Foundation
Super helpful staff (the man Mike Haru!) and a smooth easy transaction.
I had originally bought a stylus but found I didn't need it after all, and Mix Foundation were happy for me to replace it with an Ortofon Cartridge and stylus.
Good to be buying from staff who've been the in the game for decades and know what they're selling.
I highly recommend Mix Foundation for anything DJ related.

Next step up
i have used a range of mics over the years from akg rhode and sure.my mic of chioce has always been my buddy holly Shure which they still make.My buddy holly is well over 25 years old and I looked for a new mic.
after looking at the super buddy holly I settled on the Shure Nex8s based on specs.So far this mic seems well worth the extra cost.From a warm low to a high volume growl with overtones it enables a huge range of vocal techniques.Highly commended
Glad I finally got some replacements. Can confirm it fits Mk5, Mk2 1200's

Age does matter
After putting off updating my 30 year Michelle turntable, RB 300 arm with AT 0C9 cartridge to the Technics SL-1210GR.
I was surprised just how well isolated this turntable is from vibrations and resonances . Coming from a fully suspended belt drive table, the amazing sound quality plus direct drive & ease of use is just a bonus. Totally happy with this product and the service from mix foundation.

Great product, great service!
I recently bought the Ortofon 2m Bronze from Mix Foundation. Phillip couldn't have been more helpful in the pre-purchase decision-making process, even going as far as consulting his Ortofon rep about compatibility with my vintage turntable and tonearm.
The product is still bedding-in but has already shown far greater depth and separation in the sound stage.
Couldn't be more pleased!

Perfect fit
Lighter, seemingly stronger and looks like it will last longer than the official covers (less brittle)

Like butter, no margerine here. Do wish the manufacturers paid more attention to the spindle hole, it could be smaller in diameter
