As a square in-ceiling quad-tweeter array, it pairs an 8-inch woofer with a four-tweeter array to distribute high-frequency energy evenly across larger floor areas. This passive in-ceiling speaker suits large offices, retail floors, restaurants, and architectural audio designs with grid ceilings. The QXC820S is part of the James Loudspeaker quad-tweeter array family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QXC820S delivers the same 8-inch 2-way quad-tweeter array performance as the round QXC820R in a square grille format that aligns with tiled and grid ceilings. The four-tweeter array spreads high-frequency energy more evenly than a single-tweeter ceiling speaker, keeping clarity consistent across a wide floor area below. The 8-inch woofer provides the added output and low-frequency reach needed for larger rooms and higher ceilings. Because the QXC820S operates passively, it integrates with standard commercial amplifiers and distributed audio systems already specified on most projects. Designers who prefer a circular aperture can choose the QXC820R, while smaller rooms may use the 6.5-inch QXC620S.
