SR-18 Cinema Surround Loudspeaker


Developed specifically for the unique requirements of professional motion picture playback, QSC extends its commitment to the cinema market with the introduction of the SR-18 Cinema Surround Loudspeaker. As a member of QSC's DCS Digital Cinema Speaker Series, the SR-18 offers high-power handling, excellent sensitivity, and extended bass response in a very compact enclosure.

The SR-18 Cinema Surround Loudspeaker features a high-power, long-throw 8" low frequency transducer coupled with a 1" titanium diaphragm compression driver. The system's plywood enclosure features a 15° down angle baffle and Array Optimized Tuning (AOT) for optimum frequency response. The 100-watt continuous power rating and sophisticated crossover provides absolute reliability.

The compact black enclosure with black grille blends into any theatre decor. A new quick mount bracket design allows for fast, easy and secure installation. The loudspeaker half of the bracket comes pre-installed on each SR-18. The quick mount wall bracket is purchased separately to allow shipment to the job site ahead of the loudspeakers. A traditional U-bracket is also available in lieu of the quick mount bracket system.

FEATURES

  • Parallel outputs for feeding additional units
  • 95° horizontal dispersion
  • Quick mount bracket for fast, easy and secure installation
  • High-power handling capability and rugged plywood enclosure optimized for digital soundtrack reproduction
  • THX Approved
