QSC Headquarters, Costa Mesa, CA (May 31, 2016) - QSC, LLC, announces the addition of column surface-mount loudspeakers to its AcousticDesign (AD) Series. This premium line extension, which will debut at InfoComm 2017, is ideal for a wide variety of foreground and background applications and solves reverberant issues in high-ceiling spaces.  

The new AD-S802T has eight 2.5” vertically-oriented drivers while the AD-S162T has sixteen 2.5” vertically-oriented drivers, both are high quality, 70/100V or 8 ohm bypass, full-range systems. They come equipped with a unique pan/tilt mounting system that offers multiple positioning locations, allowing the loudspeaker to remain close to the wall while offering the flexibility to deliver up to a -20° downward tilt. This makes installation even easier and reduces “live load” labor time while on the ladder.

As part of the AcousticDesign Series, the new column surface-mount loudspeakers share a similar sleek unobtrusive design with the rest of the line, which allows them to blend with the aesthetics of any room. In addition, they exhibit the same robust environmental qualities associated with all AcousticDesign surface-mount models making them ideal for indoor and outdoor usage.

“The new column surface-mount loudspeakers represent a natural evolution of the AcousticDesign Series tool kit,” said Travis Nie, QSC Product Manager for Installed Loudspeakers. “For those environments that need a narrow vertical pattern such as large, high-ceiling spaces, these new loudspeakers help to improve intelligibility in reverberant spaces while offering the same consistency and outstanding performance of the AcousticDesign Series.”
