QSC AD-DWL.360 – 5.25-Inch 2-Way Direct Weather Landscape Speaker (360° Coverage)

Product Overview

The QSC AD-DWL.360 is an outdoor landscape loudspeaker designed for even, all-around commercial outdoor audio in open areas, courtyards, and pathways. Part of the AcousticDesign Series Direct Weather line, this 5.25-inch two-way IP55 landscape bollard speaker delivers 360-degree omnidirectional coverage, making it ideal where listeners surround the speaker. The elevated bollard design lifts sound above landscaping, and an onboard 70/100V transformer makes it a simple 70/100V landscape speaker to integrate into distributed commercial systems.

Product Description

The AD-DWL.360 combines a 5.25-inch weather-resistant cone woofer with two 1-inch aluminum dome tweeters to produce omnidirectional output in a ruggedized bollard enclosure of glass-filled polypropylene with stainless-steel hardware. It is IP55-rated and UL1480A compliant, engineered for sustained exposure from -10 to +60 degrees C plus high humidity and salt mist. The built-in transformer offers 70V taps of 7.5 W, 15 W, 30 W, and 60 W and 100V taps of 15 W, 30 W, and 60 W for per-location output setting across a distributed line. Permanent direct-to-concrete or in-earth base supports and tamper-resistant screws suit unattended public installations, and the RAL 6020 green finish is paintable to blend with surroundings. As an AcousticDesign Series product, it supports Intrinsic Correction voicing filters via Q-SYS or CXD DSP amplifier platforms for QSC-approved tuning and protection. Add the companion AD-DWL.SUB for low-frequency reinforcement.
