QLB 118 G
High Power Subwoofer
The direct-radiating high-performance subwoofer is equipped with a new developed 18” subwoofer with tetra coil & dual voice coil. The tunnel design of the bass reflex casing has been optimized to minimize air flow noise. These innovations distinctly increase the sound and reproduction quality. Hence the QLB 118 G sound tight and feature a proper impulse response without loosing the deep bass reproduction of a 18“ subwoofer. It is recommended as a universal subwoofer for creating powerful bass arrays in combination with the line array and hybrid elements of the PANO series. Its mechanical construction provides the KME typical stability. Functional details like the perfectly placed handles and metal stacking elements set new standards.

compatible system amplifier
Powersoft Touring Powersoft T304 A
The T Series is a flexible and cost effective amplifier platform loudspeaker processor. The model delivers high peak voltage allowing high SPL with single 8/16 ohm cabinets. The high voltage is also good for sharing power between the channels for applications such as bi-amped loudspeakers or subwoofers with passive tops.
Digital Amplifier DA 230
- No longer available –
The DA 230 is a fully digital multi-channel power amplifier with extensive audio DSP functionality and two Class D power amplifiers of the latest generation. Practical operating gestures make the handling of even complex functions very easy, such as the preset settings on the device.

Hybrid Source Element QF 5045 V2
The single hybrid array element QF 5045 V2 (newly developed high frequency unit) with a dispersion of 50° horizontal and 45° vertical is an absolute novelty in the combination of line source and point source technologies. The QF 5045 V2 contains a high frequency unit with 4 x 1“ HF drivers which are coherently working on a waveguide guaranteeing a precise dispersion and seamless transition of the high frequencies between the array elements. The mid range system is a direct radiating 12“ neodymium speaker. In this system the requirements for compact dimensions, high SPL and defined dispersion of a line array are combined in a symbiosis. The tonal tuning enables the operation of the 2-way system as full-range system or as mid/high system within a powerful PA combination. The QF 5045 V2 is optimized for clustering of maximum three units both in groundstacking and flying mode. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated flange, the operation on a high stand is possible.
Hybrid Source Element QH 5045 V2
The single hybrid array unit QH 5045 V2 (newly developed high frequency unit) has a dispersion of 50° horizontal and 45° vertical. The hybrid array element is an absolute novelty in the combination of line source and point source technologies. The QH 5045 V2 contains four 1“ high frequency drivers which are coherently working on a waveguide guaranteeing a precise dispersion and seamless transition of the high frequencies between the array elements. The two hornloaded mid range systems are equipped with 10“ neodymium speakers. In this system the requirements for compact dimensions, highest SPL and defined dispersion of a line array are combined in a symbiosis. The QH 5045 V2 is optimized for clustering of maximum three units both in groundstacking and flying mode. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated flange, the operation on a high stand is possible.
Line Source Element QL 906
The 2-way line source unit QL 906 is equipped with two 1“ drivers coupled to a waveformer and two 8“ neodymium speakers combined with outstanding AQF acoustic filters. This filters, compounds of reticulated aminoplastic foams, dampen standing waves inside the speaker system and cancel parasetical side-lobars within the working direction, creating a wide while smooth horizontal dispersion and a perfect vertical scalability.
Line Source Element QL 1215
The 2-way line source unit QL 1215 is equipped with two 1“ drivers coupled to a waveformer and two 8“ neodymium speakers combined with outstanding AQF acoustic filters. This filters, compounds of reticulated aminoplastic foams, dampen standing waves inside the speaker system and cancel parasetical side-lobars within the working direction, creating a wide while smooth horizontal dispersion and a perfect vertical scalability.
Line Source Element QLM 115
Direct radiating 1 x 15" LoMid extension for flight array and besides an array of line source units. The QLM 115 completes a compact array by an absolute full-range suitability and extended LoMid reproduction on long distances.
Stage Monitor MCX 10
The MCX 10 is a compact high-performance coaxial stage monitor. Depending on the application, the design enables three set-up options: 35° angle for moni-toring from short distances, 55° for longer distances, and 90° e.g. for front-fill applications at the stage edge. Due to its inconspicuous design, the MCX 10 fits harmoniously and eleganty into all surroundings. The speaker features a broad dispersion of 70°. The highly sturdy monitor convinces with its precise sound reproduction and gives musicians on stage a top-class sound experience. The flange inside the handle provides the possibility to use the MCX 10 as a PA system on a high stand. If required, the MCX 10 combines perfectly with the QLB 215 or QLB 118 X/G subwoofers. The monitor offers three Neutrik NL4 speakon connectors. Two of them are placed on the side of the high stand flange.
Stage Monitor MCX 15
The MCX 15 is a coaxial high performance monitor with low profile casing design. The design enables two set up options – with a flat angle of 35° for a monitoring from near to short distances and a steep angle of 55° for longer distances. With its elegant look it harmoniously fits into all surroundings. Due to the solid construction and the high protective front grid the MCX 15 can deal perfectly with
the hard stage requirements. The dispersion of 60° vertical and 40° horizontal has been adapted to the monitor angle and can be rotated by 90°. Each, left and right side includes a connection panel with each two Neutrik NL 4 Speakon sockets for an efficient cabeling and linking of the stage signals. In multifunctionality the MCX 15 sets new standards with a highstand flange inside the handle and two KME Variofix mounting points where a flying frame can be installed quickly and easy without any tools. The MCX 15 can be combined with the subwoofers QLB 215 and QLB 118 X/G, e.g. as a drum fill or front system.
