The QSC AD-C.SAT is part of the
AcousticDesign™ Series SUB/SAT
loudspeaker line which are ideally suited for
background music applications that require
refined depth and clarity even at lower
volume settings.

The AcousticDesign Series offers integrators
a premium quality installed sound solution
where performance, consistent coverage,
and aesthetics are paramount. Specifically
designed to maintain a consistent tonal
characteristic across the entire family in
ceiling, surface, and pendant enclosures,
the AcousticDesign Series allows integrators
seamless transitions within blended
installations.

The AcousticDesign Series SUB/SAT
loudspeakers have been specifically
designed to be mix-and-match capable.
Any combination of satellites may be paired
with any subwoofer in the SUB/SAT line.

The AD-C.SAT features a high quality

2.75-inch weather treated paper cone
woofer with an inverted aluminum dust cap
for extended high frequency presence within
a sealed enclosure.

These loudspeakers are rated at 16 Ω, and
up to four satellites may be connected to
any AcousticDesign Series SUB/SAT
subwoofer's high-pass filtered outputs.
Satellites also may be used as stand-alone
loudspeakers using an external high-pass
filter.

The input is located behind a removable
conduit cover plate with captive screws to
prevent loss during installation and uses a
locking 2-pole Euroblock style connectors
capable of 12AWG (2 mm) wire thickness.

To retain their stylish aesthetics, the rugged
ABS baffle is further protected by using UV
inhibitors that prevent discoloration and by
a powder coated steel back can. The
magnetic grille features a stick-on logo that
can be removed blemish-free for
installations where branding is not
permitted.

Installers will appreciate the 2x, long travel
dog-ear blind mounting system, which
captures from 0 - 1.75 inches of ceiling
thickness.

Intrinsic Correction™ voicings that optimize
performance and speed the install process
are easily deployed via the MP-M Series
music and paging mixers as well as Q-SYS
Platforms including CXD-Q Series amplifiers,
as part of a complete QSC systems
solution.

The AD-C.SAT is available in QSC standard
black (RAL 9011) or white (RAL 9010) and
may be painted to match any decor.

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