QSC SR-1030 – High-Output 10-Inch 2-Way Cinema Surround Loudspeaker with HF Horn (Pair)

Product Overview

The QSC SR-1030 is a high-output 10-inch two-way cinema surround loudspeaker with a high-frequency horn, sold in pairs, developed for professional motion-picture playback in large cinemas. Part of the DCS Digital Cinema Series, it offers very high power handling, excellent sensitivity, and extended bass in a compact enclosure.

A long-throw 10-inch woofer and large 1.75-inch titanium-diaphragm compression driver with DMT and an axisymmetric waveguide deliver uniform 90° x 90° coverage at 95.5 dB sensitivity.

Product Description

The SR-1030 features a high-power, long-throw 10-inch (254 mm) woofer with a 2.5-inch (63 mm) voice coil coupled to a 1.75-inch (44 mm) titanium-diaphragm compression driver. Its 400 W continuous power rating and sophisticated crossover with protection circuitry provide dependable operation under demanding D-Cinema soundtracks.

Uniform power response results from DMT (Directivity Matched Transition), which matches LF and HF coverage in the crossover region, while an axisymmetric waveguide delivers consistent performance on both vertical and horizontal axes for 90° x 90° coverage. The MDF enclosure has a 15° down-angle baffle and easily accessible terminals on top.

Pre-installed speaker-side hardware allows fast single-installer mounting, with down-angles of 15° (standard) or 23° (optional) and an available YM-400 U-bracket. The compact black enclosure ships in pairs. For a lower-output 10-inch surround, see the QSC SR-1020.
