• Q-SYS announces two AcousticDesign Series in-ceiling loudspeakers


    QSC's Q-SYS [Note: QSC now uses the Q-SYS rand for all installation products] announced two new AcousticDesign Series 6.5-inch two-way in-ceiling higher-power loudspeakers. The AD-C6T-HC is "ideal for high ceilings or reverberant spaces such as ballrooms, airports, atriums and lobbies", while the AD-C6T-HP offers "higher SPL at standard ceiling heights, ideal for high-energy restaurants, retail spaces or larger meeting facilities", says QSC.

    The AD-C6T-HC and AD-C6T-HP reportedly offer a sleek aesthetic design, as well as the same premium, consistent tonal quality as the rest of the AcousticDesign portfolio. Integrators can take advantage of Q-SYS Intrinsic Correction to simplify the tuning process with custom Q-SYS loudspeaker voicings via the Q-SYS cloud-manageable audio, video, and control platform "further enhancing performance and speed of installation".

    “We designed these new loudspeakers to address specific pain points integrators experience when looking to deliver the best audio experience in those more challenging spaces,” says Daniel Saenz, Product Manager, Amplifiers & Installed Loudspeakers, Q-SYS. “Built as a variant of the popular AD-C6T, the two models are a natural addition to the AcousticDesign Series and give users more options and flexibility to fine-tune their environment.”
