Product Overview

The QSC PL-SUB10-BK is a 10-inch passive installation subwoofer offering a highly compact low-frequency solution for installed AV systems in smaller venues and distributed applications. Delivering 121 dB continuous SPL with a frequency response reaching 44 Hz (–6 dB), the PL-SUB10 provides meaningful bass extension in spaces where a larger subwoofer would be physically impractical.

Product Description

The PL-SUB10 houses a 10-inch woofer with a 3-inch voice coil in a compact bass-reflex cabinet built from exterior-grade plywood with polyurea paint. At just 41.8 lbs net weight and measuring 11 × 16.7 × 20 inches, the PL-SUB10 is among the most installation-friendly subwoofers in the PL Series lineup while still handling 450 W continuously and 900 W rated. The IP65-rated input cup accepts dual Speakon NL4 connectors and a 4-pole Euroblock. Four M10 rigging points on both the bottom and sides allow flexible mounting and stacking configurations. Like all PL Series loudspeakers, the PL-SUB10 integrates directly with Q-SYS for system-level processing, EQ, and monitoring, making it a natural fit in Q-SYS-managed installed sound ecosystems.

FAQs

What size venues is the PL-SUB10-BK best suited for?
The PL-SUB10 is ideal for small venues, distributed audio systems, and applications where a 12-inch or larger subwoofer would be oversized. For medium and large venues, consider the PL-SUB12-BK, PL-SUB15-BK, or PL-SUB18-BK available at Creation Networks.
Does the PL-SUB10 support cardioid bass configuration?
The PL-SUB10 is specified for omnidirectional operation. For cardioid bass configurations, the PL-SUB15 or PL-SUB18 are the recommended options in the PL Series.
How does the PL-SUB10 integrate with Q-SYS?
The PL-SUB10 is designed as part of the Q-SYS ecosystem. When paired with a Q-SYS Core and CX-Q amplification, it supports system-level EQ, monitoring, and control through the Q-SYS Designer software environment.
What amplifier is recommended for the PL-SUB10?
QSC recommends the Q-SYS CX-Q 8K4 (2 units per channel) or CX-Q 4K4 (1 unit per channel). Contact Creation Networks for a complete system design consultation.
