Product Overview
The QSC AD-S282H is a full-range, weather-resistant dual 8-inch two-way loudspeaker for versatile commercial sound reinforcement. Its contemporary, weatherized design supports pole-mount, truss-mount, or floor-fill deployment.
Built around two 8-inch LF transducers and a rotatable Advanced Directivity waveguide, the AD-S282H delivers accurately focused sound in either horizontal or vertical orientation and offers selectable passive or active 8-ohm operation.
Product Description

The AD-S282H is a two-way system with two 8-inch low-frequency transducers featuring heavy-duty double-roll cloth surrounds and a 1-inch-exit compression high-frequency driver coupled to a rotatable Advanced Directivity waveguide. The rotatable waveguide lets the loudspeaker maintain focused coverage whether mounted horizontally or vertically.
The entire system is housed in durable, weather-resistant injection-molded polystyrene with a heavy-duty white powder-coated aluminum grille, protecting the components from environmental influences. A standard 8-ohm impedance allows the user to select either passive or active operation for system flexibility.
An included yoke-mount bracket supports horizontal or vertical mounting and precise aiming, while pole and truss mounting enable temporary or permanent installations. The AD-S282H pairs well with QSC AcousticDesign full-range and subwoofer models for larger systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the rotatable waveguide help?
Rotating the Advanced Directivity waveguide lets you keep the horn's coverage pattern correctly oriented whether the speaker is mounted horizontally or vertically, preserving focused dispersion.
Can the AD-S282H be used actively and passively?
Yes. Its standard 8-ohm design supports either passive operation from an amplifier channel or active configuration within a processed system.
What mounting methods are supported?
The included yoke bracket supports horizontal or vertical aiming, and the enclosure also supports pole-mount, truss-mount, and floor-fill use.
