James Loudspeaker QX520 - 2-Way 5.25" Quad Tweeter Array

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker QX520 is a 2-way 5.25-inch quad tweeter in-wall array speaker built for commercial AV installations that demand controlled coverage and consistent intelligibility. As an in-wall quad-tweeter array, it pairs a single 5.25-inch woofer with a four-tweeter array to broaden high-frequency dispersion across wide listening areas. This passive in-wall speaker suits conference rooms, retail environments, and architectural audio designs where flush integration matters. The QX520 is part of the James Loudspeaker quad-tweeter array family.

Product Description

The QX520 delivers a high-output 2-way in-wall solution for integrators specifying distributed audio in commercial spaces. Its quad-tweeter array spreads high-frequency energy more evenly than a single-tweeter design, which helps maintain vocal clarity and tonal balance for listeners positioned off-axis. The single 5.25-inch woofer provides midrange and low-frequency support appropriate for background and foreground music as well as paging and presentation audio. Because the QX520 operates passively, it integrates with standard commercial amplifiers and distributed audio systems already common in the field. It is a natural fit alongside larger members of the line such as the QX620 6.5-inch array and the dual-woofer QX530 when a project requires multiple output tiers across different rooms. Explore the full range in the James Loudspeaker collection to match models to room size and coverage goals. Pre-construction brackets are available to simplify rough-in framing and flush-mount finishing during new construction or renovation.
