QSC AC-C8T – AcousticCoverage 8-Inch 2-Way 80W Ceiling Speaker (Pair, White)

Product Overview

The QSC AC-C8T is an 8-inch AcousticCoverage Series two-way ceiling loudspeaker, sold as a white pair, for commercial background music, voice paging, and AV conferencing reinforcement. Its 70V/100V transformer with an 8 ohm bypass makes it a straightforward fit for distributed audio systems, and its coaxial two-way design delivers clear speech and balanced program audio across a wide coverage pattern. Rated at 80 watts with deeper output than smaller ceiling speakers, the AC-C8T suits larger or higher-ceiling commercial spaces where even, full-range ceiling coverage is required.

Product Description

The AcousticCoverage Series gives integrators a cost-effective ceiling loudspeaker that prioritizes speech clarity through the critical vocal range while improving on the musicality of typical paging and background-music products. The AC-C8T pairs a 210 mm (8 in) polypropylene-cone woofer with a butyl rubber surround and a coaxially mounted 22 mm silk-dome tweeter, delivering a two-way response with an effective frequency range of 52 Hz to 20 kHz and a 100-degree coverage angle. A low-saturation, low-loss 70V/100V transformer offers selectable taps with an 8 ohm bypass for low-impedance use, and a 4-pole Euroblock connector under a swivel plate makes input and loop-through wiring fast and secure. Included mounting hardware with a C-ring and rails simplifies in-ceiling installation. Model-specific Intrinsic Correction voicings are available through the Q-SYS Platform and CXD Series amplifiers. Finished in paintable white, the AC-C8T can be matched to most ceiling finishes. For smaller rooms, compare the QSC MP Series electronics it commonly pairs with, such as the QSC MP-A80V amplifier and MP-M80 zone mixer.
