Product Overview

The QSC AD-C81Tw is an 8-inch ceiling-mount subwoofer system that supplements distributed audio with low-frequency extension and is acoustically matched to the AcousticDesign Series. It suits commercial spaces that need fuller low end from an in-ceiling system without floor-standing subwoofers.

Product Description

QSC AD-C81Tw white 8-inch ceiling-mount subwoofer system

The QSC AD-C81Tw ceiling subwoofer uses an 8-inch polypropylene-cone woofer with a synthetic rubber surround and a large port for low-frequency extension below 40 Hz without undesirable port turbulence. It is rated for 100 watts continuous power handling with 400-watt peaks and includes a defeatable passive 120 Hz low-pass filter that can be bypassed from the front baffle for use with outboard crossovers. A 70/100V multi-tap transformer with 8-ohm bypass supports distributed and low-impedance systems, and the included C-ring and tile rails speed ceiling installation.

Key Features

  • 8-inch polypropylene woofer — The polypropylene cone resists humidity and works with the large port for extension below 40 Hz.
  • Defeatable 120 Hz filter — A passive 120 Hz low-pass filter is defeatable from the front baffle for use with outboard crossovers.
  • 100W continuous handling — The system is rated for 100 watts continuous and 400-watt peaks for sustained low-frequency support.
  • 70/100V multi-tap transformer — The transformer offers multiple taps with an 8-ohm bypass for distributed or low-impedance use.
  • Tile-rail mounting — Included C-ring and tile rails with side cable entry speed ceiling installation.

Typical Applications

  • Commercial meeting space
  • Multi-purpose room
  • House of worship
  • Auditorium
