QSC Audio, ShoWest Booth #1509, has
announced an extension to its AcousticDesign™ ceiling speaker range, with the
release of two new high-output models: the AD-C1200 and AD-C820/C821.
AcousticDesign in-ceiling loudspeakers are ideal for distributed audio in
applications that require high output from a ceiling mounted loudspeaker, such
as background music and general audio applications in lobbies, outdoor box
office areas, restrooms, and corridors and in theaters as ceiling surround
speakers. The AcousticDesign Series of
installation loudspeakers has been designed for trouble free operation and
versatility.
Utilizing custom designed transducers
and crossover networks, in combination with an acoustically optimized enclosure
(AD-C1200BB), the AD-C1200 embraces the AD Series philosophy by bringing the
same versatility and reliability to high-ceiling applications.
The AD-C1200 High-output Ceiling Mount
Loudspeaker System features 12-inch low frequency woofer, 1.75-inch diaphragm
compression driver, 300W continuous power rating, and a 70V / 100V multi-tap
transformer (enabling the system to operate in distributed or low-impedance
mode).
Each AD-C1200 includes the coaxial
transducers, a transformer and a crossover network, factory mounted on a steel
baffle. The baffle is designed to mount
to the QSC enclosure or to any ~2.5 ft3 enclosure using industry
standard transducer mounting dimensions.
A square grille (AD-C1200SG) is available to complete the installation.
This model is complemented by the
AD-C820/C821, which features 8-inch low frequency woofer, 1.75-inch diaphragm
compression driver, 200W continuous power rating, 70V / 100V multi-tap
transformer (enabling the system to operate in distributed or low-impedance
mode) and AD-C820 transducer/baffle assembly for separated backcan
installation. The AD-C821 has been
designed as a fully integrated blind-mount system.
The AD-C820 and AD-C821 are
acoustically identical and both models use custom designed transducers and
crossover networks, in combination with an acoustically optimized enclosure
(AD-C800BB), or as a fully integrated, sealed system (AD-C821). The AD-C800 series loudspeakers extend the
AcousticDesign philosophy of bringing natural and accurate sound quality
combined with versatility and reliability to high-ceiling applications.
Each AD-C820 includes the coaxial
transducers, a transformer and a crossover network, factory mounted on a steel
baffle. The baffle is designed to mount
to the QSC enclosure.
The AD-C821 is a fully integrated,
factory-sealed system using a ‘dog ear’-style mounting scheme. An optional round (AD-C800RG) or square
(AD-C800SG) grille is available to complete the installation.
