QSC PL-DC26 – Dual 6-in 2-Way Passive/Bi-Amp Directivity Control Loudspeaker, Black

Product Overview

The QSC PL-DC26-BK is a two-way passive dual-6-inch directivity control point source loudspeaker engineered for installs requiring reconfigurable coverage from a compact, low-profile cabinet. With rotatable half-horn assemblies offering symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns, this passive directivity control loudspeaker adapts its dispersion to the room rather than the room to the speaker. The black (RAL 9011) exterior-plywood enclosure carries IP54 weatherization with polyurea paint for installed indoor and covered outdoor use. It is a purpose-built solution for main and fill coverage in fixed-install reinforcement systems.

Product Description

The PL-DC26 pairs dual 6-inch neodymium LF transducers in a V-shaped layout with a 1-inch exit compression driver to deliver a system bandwidth of 94 Hz to 20 kHz (−3 dB). The reconfigurable and rotatable half-horn assemblies provide symmetrical 120° x 50° (default), 90° x 50°, or asymmetrical 105° (60°+45°) x 50° coverage, allowing one model to address varied install geometries. System sensitivity ranges from 101 dB to 102.5 dB depending on horn configuration, with continuous SPL up to 117 dB passive and 118 dB bi-amped. Power handling is 240 W continuous and 480 W program at 8 Ω. The cabinet supports passive operation at a 1.6 kHz crossover or bi-amp operation at 1.5 kHz. Connectivity includes two Speakon NL4 connectors and a parallel locking 4-pole Euroblock in an IP65-sealed input cup. Rigging uses one M8 per side for the PL-DC26-YM yoke mount plus 4x M6 patterns on top, bottom, and back. IP54 weatherization with polyurea paint and an IP65 input cup supports challenging fixed-install environments. At 25.3 lbs, it balances output and pattern flexibility with manageable install weight.

Key Features

• Reconfigurable Coverage — Rotatable half-horn assemblies provide 120°, 90°, or asymmetrical 105° horizontal patterns.
• Asymmetrical Horn Option — 60°+45° split coverage targets non-symmetrical seating from a single cabinet position.
• Dual 6-Inch Neodymium LF — V-shaped transducer layout delivers consistent point source output with extended low-end.
• Passive or Bi-Amp Operation — Selectable crossover at 1.6 kHz passive or 1.5 kHz bi-amp adapts to system architecture.
• Dual Speakon and Euroblock — Parallel-wired connectors in an IP65 sealed input cup simplify daisy-chaining.
• IP54 Weatherization — Polyurea paint and IP65 input cup support covered outdoor installation.
• Yoke and Flush Mount Ready — M8 side points and M6 patterns accept the PL-DC26-YM yoke or PL-DC26-FM flush mount.

Typical Applications

• House of worship — reconfigurable coverage matched to sanctuary geometry and balcony seating.
• Auditorium — main or fill coverage with pattern control tuned to the audience plane.
• Multi-purpose room — adaptable dispersion for rooms with changing layouts.
• Commercial meeting space — high-intelligibility reinforcement for presentations and program audio.
• Government space — installed coverage for council chambers and assembly halls.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the coverage pattern changed?

The PL-DC26 uses reconfigurable and rotatable half-horn assemblies to select 120°, 90°, or asymmetrical 105° (60°+45°) horizontal coverage.

Does it support bi-amping?

Yes. It operates passively at a 1.6 kHz crossover or bi-amped at 1.5 kHz.

What mounting accessories are available?

The PL-DC26-YM yoke mount and PL-DC26-FM flush mount use the cabinet's M8 side points and M6 patterns.

Can it be installed outdoors?

Yes, in covered locations. It carries IP54 weatherization with polyurea paint and an IP65 sealed input cup.

What connectors are provided?

Two Speakon NL4 connectors and one parallel locking 4-pole Euroblock in an IP65 sealed input cup.

What amplifier power is recommended?

The system is rated for 240 W continuous and 480 W program at 8 Ω.
