QSC AD-S112SW – AcousticDesign 12-Inch 300W Surface-Mount Subwoofer (Black)

Product Overview

The QSC AD-S112sw is a 12-inch, 8-ohm surface-mount subwoofer that adds low-frequency reinforcement to QSC AcousticDesign full-range loudspeakers. Supplied with a yoke mounting system, this black model suits commercial music systems in retail, hospitality, education, and houses of worship.

This direct-radiating subwoofer extends system bass response down to 30 Hz and uses QSC's TFR (Turbulent Flow Reduction) port for higher clean output, making it a well-matched companion for AD-S series satellites.

Product Description

The AD-S112sw uses a 12-inch weather-treated paper-cone woofer on a 2.5-inch voice coil, handling 300W RMS with a 30 Hz to 135 Hz (-10 dB) frequency range and a peak maximum SPL of 121 dB. The TFR port tunes enclosure resonance and is optimized for high-velocity airflow, raising output before turbulence or port 'chuffing.'

A 4-pole Euroblock connector with loop-thru wiring sits under a sealed input cover, and M10 fittings allow suspended or flown deployments using M10 Kit-C hardware. The included yoke mount takes advantage of boundary-plane coupling while reducing vibration transmission.

The rugged ABS enclosure and powder-coated aluminum grille exceed IP54 for dust and splash resistance, supporting indoor or covered outdoor use. QSC Intrinsic Correction voicings are available through Q-SYS processing or CXD/CX-Q amplifiers. Pair it with QSC AD-S series satellites such as the QSC AD-S8T.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which loudspeakers pair well with the AD-S112sw?
It is voiced to complement QSC AcousticDesign full-range models such as the AD-S6T and AD-S8T, providing matched low-frequency extension in a distributed or low-impedance system.

Can the subwoofer be flown?
Yes. M10 fittings accept M10 Kit-C hardware for suspended or flown deployment, and an included yoke supports surface mounting.

Is it a powered subwoofer?
No, the AD-S112sw is a passive 8-ohm subwoofer driven by a separate amplifier; QSC Intrinsic Correction tuning is available through CXD/CX-Q amplifiers or Q-SYS.

What warranty and support come with this loudspeaker?
QSC installed loudspeakers are covered under QSC's standard limited warranty; refer to QSC's published warranty terms for the current coverage period applicable to this model. Creation Networks provides pre- and post-sale support for system design and integration questions.
