QSC’s AcousticDesign™ S8T, S10T and
S12 surface mount loudspeakers are
professional, 70/100V, two-way, fullrange systems ideal for a wide variety
of foreground and background sound
reinforcement applications. Ease-ofinstallation is the driving principle behind
QSC’s next generation of small format,
surface mount loudspeakers. Innovations
found on AD-S loudspeakers enable
designers and integrators to quickly and
easily specify and install a system. AD-S
loudspeakers are also a perfect solution to
serve ancillary loudspeaker needs as part
of a larger installed sound system.
Housed in rugged ABS enclosures for
long-term durability, S8T, S10T and S12
loudspeakers employ DMT™ (Directivity
Matched Transition) which matches the LF
and HF coverage at the crossover point. This
ensures even coverage across the listening
plane for smooth, coherent audio
reproduction. The 1.4in diaphragm, 1in
exit compression driver on the S8T, S10T
and S12 delivers crisp, detailed highfrequency reproduction and when combined
with the matched woofers, provides full
bandwidth reproduction. To further enhance
performance, tunings using QSC Intrinsic
Correction techniques are available for
Q-Sys and future QSC amplifiers. Moreover,
the low saturation transformers offer
premium performance on 70/100V
distributed audio lines.
Installers will appreciate flexible mounting
options. Euroblock connectors allow prewiring of the system and the included
X-Mount hardware enables the installer
to mount the bracket and then simply lift
the loudspeaker onto the mount and lock it
into place. Moreover, the loudspeaker can
attach to its mount on any plane to facilitate
multiple deployment configurations.
AD-S loudspeakers can easily be mounted
to any weight bearing, flat surface. Knurled
surfaces on the mount’s pivot points ensure
that the loudspeaker deployment angle stays
fixed and will not slip over time. No special
tools are required to install or adjust the
loudspeaker angle. S8T, S10T and 12
models also feature M10 installation points
for suspending the loudspeaker via eye-bolts
as well as mounting points for an optional
yoke bracket.
S8T, S10T and S12 loudspeakers meet
IEC60529 IP-54 for dust and splash
resistance and feature sealed input panels
and powder coated aluminum grilles for
added weather resistance.
Presenting a clean, unobtrusive look, AD-S
grilles are unadorned eliminating the need
to cover obtrusive logo treatments. AD-S
loudspeakers are available in either black
(RAL 9011) or white (RAL 9010) and may
be painted to match any décor.
To minimize impact and disposal fees
at the job site, all AD-S loudspeakers are
packaged in environmentally friendly,
recyclable cartons.
