QSC K.2 series Use and care manual

Regarding: K.2 Series (220~240V regions only)
Dear QSC Customer,
Thank you for your purchase of K.2 Series loudspeakers.
QSC upholds a very high standard for Product Reliability. Recently we have discovered an
issue that can, under certain irregular conditions lead to failure of K.2 loudspeakers in
countries using 220-240V power. QSC has developed a user-installable firmware update that
is recommended for K.2 speakers used in regions with 220-240V AC power, including:
Europe
Middle East / Africa
Asia (excluding Japan & Taiwan)
Australia / New Zealand
South America (220-230V countries only)
NOTE: This update is NOT necessary in regions with 100-120V AC power, such as North
America, Central America, Caribbean, Japan or Taiwan.
Update Instructions are further on in this document or can be found in the document named:
“K.2 Firmware Update Instructions V1.1.0”
If you have any questions or concerns, please email: K.2fir[email protected]m
Thank you for your understanding.
QSC Technical Support

Dear QSC Customer,
In addition to the “Cover Letter” from QSC, we as distributor for the BeNeLux, UK, Germany and
France (AED Distribution) have some extra information.
The download link for the firmware can be found here:

2018.zip?dl=0
The units that are in our warehouse and QSC’s warehouse do not have the new firmware yet. All
units shipping out now do not have the new firmware. QSC will let us know from when units coming
from the factory will have the new firmware. Until further notice all units that ship out to you will
have the old firmware and you will need to update them yourself.
If you buy from a local dealer you will need to check with them if your units have the new firmware
or not.
You can check yourself if the unit has the new firmware or not:
Go to the SETTINGS MENU and check the firmware version, it should be 1.1.0.3101
Units coming from AED Distribution as replacement for defective units will have the new firmware
and will have a GREEN DOT next to the serial number on the outside of the box.
If you are a reseller and you update speakers that are to be sold as new, please make a similar
marking on the serial number label, for example with a colored marker. This way you and your
customer s know if the new firmware is uploaded or not.
