SPEAKER BATTLE! QSC K12 VS YAMAHA DXR12 SOUND COMPARISON

all right guys today we're going to have a little speaker review comparison between the qsc k12 versus the yamaha dxr 12. two 12-inch speakers two dj very popular dj speakers that are on the market and both plastic boxes ones rated at 2000 watts peak 1000 watts rms and this one is a bit more efficient at 1100 watts peak and 700 watts rms so a bit more headroom on the qsc but spl though measured qsc is 131 and the yamaha dxr is rated at 132 db on the other speakers that we're going to compare we have the yama dxr8 the yamaha dsr-12 and the gbl prx 712 and we have the 812 as well but it's the same exact speaker so we're going to begin with the review we're connected to a yamaha mg 10 xu mixer connected to our phone and we're going to play a couple songs and you're going to see the differences between both speakers so i'm going to point to you which which speaker is playing and you'll see the differences between the two here we go [Music] oh [Music] all right we saw the difference between both speakers i think the clarity on the yamaha was very noticeable i felt like the the qsc sounded a bit more muffled or maybe a bit more i don't know some sort of rounder sound but like yamaha definitely had a lot more clarity the mids and highs were more present compared to the qsc and that was more present when the part i think it was as soon as the main beat started to begin you felt that difference you sounded you heard it and uh and there it is let's just show you a quick look on the back panel over here we have in the back we have a three channel mixer in the back you have a xlr quarter inch and a 3.5 millimeter um sorry rca input over here you have your uh dsp over here in the back let me just put a bit of flash here we go putting it on okay we have our dsp so we have front of house main we have monitor mode and then we also have a high pass filter which is really really nice so 120 hertz in the back very very good on to the qsc the qsc has an interesting mixer as well so a two channel mixer um but three different it's actually two different inputs so we have a one channel which is an xlr and we have the rca inputs over here in terms of dsp you have your low frequency you can control independently so you have a normal mode which is flat you have a deep mode a bit more bass and an external sub so it cuts the bass and brings out the more highs here we have a vocal boost so if you want a bit more highs you press that and that's the qsc in the back they both weigh very similar weights and um yeah so whichever one's right for you you guys can tell um my personal experience my personal opinion on these speakers pretty clear i mean based on the uh that main part of the song i noticed right away the highest and mids of the yamaha was a lot nicer there was the vocals i mean there weren't any vocals but the the tune was coming out of the speaker just sounded really nice the qsc sounded a bit more muffled um a bit more sounded like a cone kind of wasn't such a fan of it but also yet again i think it's a 90 by 60 and this is a 75 degree exit so whichever one's right for you you'll choose it price wise they're pretty much up there however i can say resale value qsc is better than the yamaha the mi you can probably pick up in canada at 1200 appear 1300 up here the qscs have gone up pretty much actually they're going for about 1800 up here 1600 depending what you're getting but the quality obviously and yeah thank you guys for watching this video and on to the next one next video comparisons
