Product Overview

Product Description
The MQS85 is a high-output theater surround speaker in the James Loudspeaker range, intended for the surround channels of multichannel cinema and screening systems. It is purpose-built to deliver elevated output for surround effects, supporting larger rooms where standard surround speakers may not provide sufficient impact. The MQS85 complements front-channel and subwoofer components in a complete theater design, pairing naturally with James Loudspeaker subwoofers such as the EMB and ST series for full-range, high-output systems. As a theater surround speaker, it is specified where the room demands consistent surround coverage at higher levels. The MQS85 fits both dedicated commercial cinemas and high-end residential theaters. The full range of compatible components is available in the James Loudspeaker collection. This makes the MQS85 a strong specification for the surround layer of a premium theater.
