AcousticDesign Series

AcousticDesign™ series offers a premium quality installed sound solution where performance, coverage, and aesthetics are paramount. Combined with unprecedented ease-of-installation and high weather resistance, the AcousticDesign series provides a versatile and confident install solution over a wide variety of foreground and background sound reinforcement applications. 

The AcousticDesign series is comprised of stylish, state-of-the-art surface mount and in-ceiling speakers. With flat response, wide dispersion, and very low distortion, these full-range speakers deliver a natural sound for both background music and voice. Designed for clarity and presence, these speakers are ideal for general audio anywhere in a theater complex, including lobbies, outdoor box office areas, restrooms, and corridors.,

Consistent and even axisymmetric coverage is achieved through Directivity Matched Transition (DMT™), a QSC innovation which matches the directivity patterns of the woofer and the high-frequency waveguide at the crossover point. The result is a coherent transition between transducers and improved off-axis response.

AcousticDesign models with (T) suffix feature low-loss, low-saturation transformers with selectable taps, including an 8Ω bypass. To enhance weather resistance, the rotary selector is located on the back of the enclosure, protected by a weather grommet.

With rugged ABS enclosures, sealed input panel covers, and powder-coated aluminum grilles for weather resistance, the AcousticDesign surface mounted series exceed IEC60529 IP-54 ratings for dust and splash resistance.

Designed for all general audio applications, AcousticDesign surface-mount models come in a wide range of sizes, from a compact 3-inch 2-way to a dual 8-inch 2-way and even a dual 8-inch subwoofer. Several models have built-in 70/100 volt distributed line transformers.

Complimenting adjacent product families, AcousticDesign surface loudspeakers are available in QSC standard black (RAL 9011) or white (RAL 9010), and may be painted to match any decor.

To further enhance performance and speed of install with optimum result, advanced voicing filter sets using QSC Intrinsic Correction™ techniques are available using the Q-SYS Ecosystem, including DPA-Q amplifiers, for a complete QSC systems solution.
