QSC SR-8200 – 8-Inch 2-Way Cinema Surround Loudspeaker with HF Horn (Pair)

Product Overview

The QSC SR-8200 is an 8-inch two-way cinema surround loudspeaker with a high-frequency horn, sold in pairs, developed for professional motion-picture playback in smaller cinemas. Part of the DCS Digital Cinema Series, it combines high power handling, excellent sensitivity, and extended bass in a compact enclosure.

A long-throw 8-inch woofer and 1.4-inch titanium-diaphragm compression driver with DMT and an axisymmetric waveguide deliver uniform power response and 90° x 90° coverage at 94 dB sensitivity.

Product Description

The SR-8200 features a high-power, long-throw 8-inch (200 mm) woofer with a 2-inch (50 mm) voice coil coupled to a 1.4-inch (35 mm) titanium-diaphragm compression driver. Its 200 W continuous power rating and sophisticated crossover with protection circuitry provide dependable operation under demanding D-Cinema soundtracks.

Uniform power response results from DMT (Directivity Matched Transition), which matches LF and HF coverage in the crossover region, while an axisymmetric waveguide delivers consistent performance on both vertical and horizontal axes for 90° x 90° coverage. The MDF enclosure has a 15° down-angle baffle and easily accessible terminals on top.

Pre-installed speaker-side hardware allows fast single-installer mounting, with down-angles of 15° (standard) or 23° (optional) and an available YM-46 U-bracket. The compact black enclosure ships in pairs. For a smaller surround, see the QSC SR-800; for larger rooms, the QSC SR-1020.
