The QSC AcousticCoverage a ceiling-mounted 8-inch two-way loudspeaker with 70/100V transformer, suitable for a wide variety of voice paging and background music sound reinforcement applications.

AcousticCoverage™ is designed to offer integrators a cost-effective solution for applications where voice reinforced coverage is of primary concern, while providing improved musicality often not seen in typical BGM class products.

The high quality 8-inch polypropylene cone transducer with butyl rubber surround and the sensitivity matched coaxially mounted .86-inch silk dome tweeter offers pristine clarity through the critical vocal range for increased speech intelligibility. With 100 degrees of conical coverage, the AC-C8T reduces the number of loudspeakers required for even coverage in low ceiling applications.

The easy-to-install blind mount assembly features a ported baffle which optimally tunes the plated steel backcan for added musicality, creating low frequency extension down to 52 Hz. To maintain this frequency response, the AC-C8T utilizes a 60-watt low-saturation and low-loss 70/100V transformer with varying selectable taps,

including an 8Ω bypass. The rotary tap

selector switch is accessible under the painted steel grille.

To further enhance performance and speed of install with optimum result, advanced voicing via QSC Intrinsic Correction™ techniques are obtainable using Q-SYS™ networked audio processing platforms, or CXD amplifiers for a complete QSC systems solution.

Installers will appreciate the 4-pole Euroblock connector for loop-thru wiring, located under a quick access swivel plate. Eliminating the termination hassles of star topology wiring designs, the generous Euroblock of the AC-C8T can accept four 18AWG pairs.

A safety tether tab is affixed to the adjustable conduit clasp plate for seismicsensitive installations. C-ring and tile rails are included with each pair packed assembly, complete with joining screws and cut-out template.

The AC-C8T baffle and grille are QSC standard white (RAL 9010) to match complementing QSC product families and includes UV inhibitors to prevent discoloration over time. The AC-C8T may also be painted to match any décor.

For your system integration needs, complete EASE, CF2, CAD, and BIM files are available for download at QSC.com.
