DCS XD-000073-00 – 15-Inch Coaxial Driver for SR-1590 (Replacement Part)

What is the DCS XD-000073-00 coaxial driver?

The DCS XD-000073-00 is the 15-inch coaxial driver for the DCS SR-1590 cinema surround loudspeaker, supplied as a genuine replacement part. It restores a failed SR-1590 in an existing auditorium without replacing the whole cabinet. The part comes from the Digital Cinema Series (DCS) line, formerly part of the QSC DCS line and now sold by Moving iMage Technologies. MiT order code A015073-001.

How does the DCS XD-000073-00 work?

The SR-1590 is a 15-inch two-way coaxial surround, and the XD-000073-00 is the driver at its core. A coaxial driver places the low-frequency and high-frequency sections on the same axis, so both bands leave the speaker from one point. That is what gives the SR-1590 its consistent coverage across the seating area in large, high-output auditoriums.

When the driver fails, the surround can lose output, distort, or drop one band entirely, and that speaker stands out from the rest of the array. Replacing the driver with the original part brings the speaker back to its designed output and keeps it matched to the other SR-1590s in the room. A service technician removes the grille, disconnects and unbolts the old driver, and installs the new one in its place; the SR-1590 grille assembly is also available if the grille was damaged.

To make sure the part matches your speaker, confirm fit by model and serial number with Creation Networks at 888-230-3661 before ordering. Creation Networks can also handle the replacement on site and re-check the surround array afterward. For rooms that need more surround capacity, Creation Networks supplies complete DCS surrounds such as the DCS SR-1290 and DCS SR-1030, and low-frequency support such as the DCS SB-118F flyable subwoofer.

What are the key features of the DCS XD-000073-00?

• Made for the SR-1590 — It is the coaxial driver DCS lists for the SR-1590 15-inch cinema surround.
• 15-inch coaxial design — The low- and high-frequency sections share one axis, which is the basis of the SR-1590's even coverage.
• Genuine DCS part — It is the manufacturer's own driver, so the repaired speaker keeps its original voicing and output.
• Keeps the surround array matched — A repaired speaker sounds like its neighbors instead of standing out in the room.
• Repair instead of replace — Replacing the driver keeps the existing cabinet, mounting and wiring in service.
• Fit check and service — Creation Networks confirms fit by model and serial number and can install the driver on site.

Where is the DCS XD-000073-00 typically used?

• Auditorium (cinema auditoriums with DCS SR-1590 surrounds)
• Multi-purpose room (screening spaces fitted with SR-1590 surrounds)
