Who doesn’t want smaller and lighter wherever you can get it. But I think I’ll try the 10s at rehearsal to see how they cut it. So far I will keep the 12.2 for any live venue that I wouldn’t take the subs to, and for rehearsal. Which means I no longer have to set up the whole PA to craft presets I can trust that they will translate to the full PA. All my presets just sound great through this box. This is what I was looking for in a full range speaker for my Helix. I haven’t tried them live yet with the subs but they sound way better than the K12.2 with the Helix direct. Sold the Bose bought the QSC subs for live but thought the QSC K10.2 might be better with the subs for live, less boomy and wider dispersion. They sounded much better at rehearsal than my Bose F1 PA setup so I decided to switch over.

In monitor position on the floor direct in from Helix it sounded better than the powercab for my use but not quite the magic I was looking for. They sounded great in fact they were great for putting the whole band through at rehearsal even without subs.

So I got rid of it and bought a pair of QSC K12.2 speakers. I originally bought a powercab for this purpose but I found that it didn’t translate the presets I had created on FRFR speakers even when it was on the FRFR setting. For live use I run direct and use in ear monitors so I don’t have any backline or wedges on stage but I still wanted something quick to be able to plug into if I didn’t need or want to set up the whole PA in the rehearsal space between gigs.
