The QSC AD-S.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-S.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 on the rear of the
loudspeaker 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. The
grille features a stick-on logo that can be
removed blemish-free for installations where
branding is not permitted.

Installers will appreciate X-Mount™ Mini
hardware that ships with the satellites. This
mounting solution allows for repeatable
angles without drift or sag over time. The
mount may be rotated on all four 90° axes
for versatile wall or ceiling mounting options.

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 Platform, including CXD-Q Series
amplifiers, as part of a complete QSC
systems solution.

The AD-S.SAT is available in QSC standard
black (RAL 9011) or white (RAL 9010).

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