The QSC AD-P.SUB is part of the
AcousticDesign™ Series SUB/SAT
loudspeaker line which are ideally suited for
background music applications that require
refined depth and clarity even at lower
volume settings.
The AcousticDesign Series offers integrators
a premium quality installed sound solution
where performance, consistent coverage,
and aesthetics are paramount. Specifically
designed to maintain a consistent tonal
characteristic across the entire family in
ceiling, surface, and pendant enclosures, the
AcousticDesign Series allows integrators
seamless transitions within blended
installations.
The AcousticDesign Series SUB/SAT
loudspeakers have been specifically
designed to be mix-and-match capable. Any
combination of satellites may be paired with
any subwoofer in the SUB/SAT line.
The AD-P.SUB features a high quality
6.5-inch weather treated paper cone woofer
on a dual voice-coil for improved thermal
dissipation and higher output within a small
form factor.
The accurate frequency response of the
AD-P.SUB is maintained even in 70 / 100 V
applications by use of a low-loss, lowsaturation 100 W transformer with selectable
taps, including 4 Ω bypass, using a rotary
selector located under the snap-fit
magnetically attached powder coat steel grill.
The AD-P.SUB includes built-in high-pass
filtered outputs for connecting up to four
AcousticDesign Series satellite loudspeakers.
This feature greatly reduces system setup,
amplifier channel count, and allows for ease
of wiring.
The inputs and outputs are located behind
a removable conduit cover plate with sealed
gland nuts for cable dressing. All in-thru and
outputs are terminated to locking 4-pole
Euroblock style connectors capable of
12AWG (2 mm) wire thickness.
To retain their stylish aesthetics, the rugged
ABS baffle is further protected by using UV
inhibitors that prevent discoloration. The
magnetic grille features a stick-on logo that
can be removed blemish-free for
installations where branding is not
permitted.
Installers will appreciate the two quick-link
cable assemblies and slip-lock fasteners to
speed the installation.
Intrinsic Correction™ voicings that optimize
performance and speed the install process
are easily deployed via the MP-M Series
music and paging mixers as well as
Q-SYS Platform, including CXD-Q Series
amplifiers, as part of a complete QSC
systems solution.
The AD-P.SUB is available in QSC standard
black (RAL 9011) or white (RAL 9010) and
may be painted to match any decor.
For your system integration needs,
complete EASE, CF2, CAD, and BIM files
will be available for download at QSC.com.
