Product Overview
The QSC AD-S6T is a transformer-equipped 6.5-inch surface-mount loudspeaker sold as a pair for 70V/100V distributed audio or 8-ohm operation. Part of the AcousticDesign Series, it is engineered for foreground and background music in restaurants, retail, education, transportation terminals, and houses of worship.
Supplied with the X-Mount system, the AD-S6T delivers even 105° conical coverage through QSC's DMT waveguide and is built for both indoor and covered outdoor commercial installations with IP54 weather resistance.
Product Description

Each AD-S6T uses a 6.5-inch weather-treated paper-cone woofer (1.5-inch voice coil) and a horn-loaded 1-inch silk-dome tweeter, covering 60 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) with 89 dB sensitivity and a 116 dB peak SPL. DMT (Directivity Matched Transition) aligns woofer and waveguide directivity at the crossover for coherent, uniform coverage.
A 60W low-loss, low-saturation transformer offers 70V taps (60/30/15/7.5W) and 100V taps (60/30/15W) plus an 8-ohm bypass, with a rear rotary selector protected by a weather grommet. A 4-pole Euroblock connector with loop-thru wiring sits beneath a sealed input cover.
The sealed ABS enclosure and powder-coated aluminum grille meet IEC60529 IP-54 for dust and splash resistance. QSC Intrinsic Correction voicings are available through Q-SYS processing or CXD/CX-Q amplifiers. Complete EASE, CF2, CAD, and BIM data is available for system design. For a non-transformer 16-ohm alternative, see the QSC AD-S6.
Key Features
- 70/100V transformer with 8-ohm bypass — A 60W low-loss transformer offers selectable distributed-line taps plus a low-impedance bypass for flexible deployment.
- DMT 105° conical coverage — Directivity Matched Transition produces a coherent transition between transducers and improved off-axis response.
- Matched two-way drivers — A 6.5-inch weather-treated woofer and horn-loaded 1-inch silk-dome tweeter are matched in sensitivity for full-range reproduction.
- Weather-protected tap selector — The rear-panel rotary tap selector is shielded by a weather grommet for outdoor-capable reliability.
- X-Mount system included — Enables fast horizontal, vertical, wall, or ceiling installation at repeatable angles with no slippage over time.
- IP54 construction — A rugged ABS enclosure and powder-coated aluminum grille meet IEC60529 IP-54 for dust and splash resistance.
- Q-SYS Intrinsic Correction ready — Advanced voicing filter sets are available through Q-SYS or CXD/CX-Q amplifier platforms.
- Design data available — Complete EASE, CF2, CAD, and BIM information supports accurate system modeling and specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What transformer taps does the AD-S6T provide?
It offers 70V taps of 60/30/15/7.5 W, 100V taps of 60/30/15 W, and an 8-ohm bypass, selected via a weather-protected rear rotary selector.
How does the AD-S6T differ from the AD-S6?
The AD-S6T adds a 60W 70/100V line transformer for distributed audio, while the AD-S6 is a 16-ohm low-impedance design without a transformer.
Can I model the AD-S6T before installation?
Yes. QSC publishes complete EASE, CF2, CAD, and BIM data so integrators can predict coverage and document the installation in advance.
