QSC AD-S8T-BK 8 Inch Two Way Surface Mount Loudspeaker System 200 Watts

QSC AD-S8T-BK 8 Inch Two Way Surface Mount Loudspeaker System 200 Watts

The QSC AcousticDesign™ AD-S8T is a surface mounted 70/100 V, 8" two-way loudspeaker system, ideally suited for a wide variety of foreground and background sound reinforcement applications.

AcousticDesign™ series offers integrators 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 integrators a versatile and confident install solution.

The AD-S8T features a high quality 8” weather treated paper cone woofer on a 2” voice coil. A carefully selected 1” exit, 1.4” compression driver perfectly matches the sensitivity and performance of the woofer for outstanding full-range reproduction.

Consistent and even 105° axisymmetric (conical) coverage is achieved through DMT™ (Directivity Matched Transition), a QSC innovation which matches the directivity patterns of the woofer and the highfrequency waveguide at the crossover point. The result is a coherent transition between transducers and improved off-axis response.

The even, accurate frequency response of the AD-S8T is aided by a 60-watt low-loss, low saturation transformer with selectable taps, including an 8 Ω 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.

Installers will appreciate the award-winning X-Mount™ system included with each full-range AcousticDesign™
model. This ingenious mounting solution achieves unprecedented ease-of-installation in horizontal, vertical, wall, or ceiling deployments. Knurled surfaces at the pivot planes ensure the load will not drift or sag over time. Articulation marks allow preconfiguration of the X-Mount™ while on the ground with no special tools required. Once secure, the loudspeaker installs in seconds, allowing the installer to work safer, smarter, and faster with repeatable results.

The AD-S8T also includes M10 fittings for optional yoke mount (YMS8T) or shoulder eybolt (M10 Kit-C)
accessories for installation versatility.

To further enhance performance and speed of install with optimum result, advanced voicing filter sets using QSC Intrinsic Correction™ techniques are obtainable using Q-SYS networked audio processing platforms, including CX-Q Series network amplifiers for a complete QSC systems solution.

The AcousticDesign™ series feature a stylish appearance free of obtrusive logo adornments for aesthetically sensitive installations. AcousticDesign™ surface loudspeakers are available in QSC standard
black (RAL 9011) or white (RAL 9010) and may be painted to match any decor.
