The black AcousticDesign Series QSC AD-S8T is a transformer-equipped 8" surface-mount loudspeaker supplied with the award-winning X-Mount system, making it suitable for 70/100V or 8-ohm operation in a variety of foreground and background music applications, whether installed in horizontal, vertical, wall, or ceiling deployments.
Outfitted with an 8" weather-treated woofer and a 1" exit compression driver with a DMT waveguide, the AD-S8T offers even 105° conical coverage and improved off-axis response while providing a frequency range of 55 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB). The speaker is capable of handling 200W RMS and producing a peak maximum SPL of 119 dB.
The AD-S8T utilizes a 4-pole Euroblock connector under a sealed input cover for easy wiring and protection from moisture. Featuring a rugged ABS enclosure and a powder coated aluminum grille, the AD-S8T boasts dust and splash resistance beyond IP54 ratings for worry-free operation indoors or outside.
Features
- Designed for foreground and background music sound reinforcement in restaurant, retail, audio visual, education, and large system ancillary support applications as well as in concourses, casinos, transportation terminals, and worship facilities
- Supplied with award-winning X-Mount system to enable easy installation in horizontal, vertical, wall, or ceiling deployments at a variety of angles with no slippage over time
- M10 fittings for YMS8 yoke mount or M10 Kit-C shoulder eyebolt accessories (both available separately) for installation versatility
- 8" weather-treated paper cone woofer with a 2" voice coil and a 1" exit, 1.4" compression driver that matches the sensitivity and performance of the woofer for optimal full-range reproduction
- Consistent and even 105° conical coverage is achieved through DMT (Directivity Matched Transition), a QSC innovation which matches the directivity patterns of the woofer and the high-frequency waveguide at the crossover point, resulting in a coherent transition between transducers and improved off-axis response
- Rugged ABS enclosure and powder coated aluminum grille
- Exceeds IP54 ratings for dust and splash resistance
- Low-saturation, low-loss 70/100V transformer with 8-ohm bypass
- Rear-panel rotary tap selector is protected by a weather grommet
- 4-pole Euroblock connector with loop-thru wiring located under a sealed input cover to prevent moisture at the terminals
- Advanced voicing filter sets using QSC Intrinsic Correction are available through either Q-Sys processing or CXD amplifier platforms (available separately)
