QSC E218SW, E118SW-BK, E115, E112, E110 Quick Start Guide

E Series

Quick Start Guide

Input Configuration

E Series two-way loudspeakers and subwoofers are designed for externally powered operation. Pass-throughs permit connection to multiple loudspeakers. The
two-way models feature internal passive crossovers for full-range operation. To use them with subwoofers, use an active crossover and separate amplification to
split the subwoofer frequencies and the remainder of the audio spectrum.

PLD and GXD Series amplifiers have E Series voicings available in their presets and loudspeaker profiles. TouchMix digital mixers also have E Series voicings
available, for use in systems that don't have PLD or GXD Series amplifiers.

Pole Mounting on E118sw

The E Series loudspeakers (E110, E112, E115) can be mounted above the E118sw
subwoofer using the 36-inch pole included with the subwoofer.

NOTE: The E215 loudspeaker does not offer a pole mounting option.

WARNING!:

make the loudspeaker system top-heavy and hazardous.
Ensure that your system will resist tipping and that it sits
on a solid, level surface.

This pole, if used inappropriately, may

WARNING!:

Always use two persons to lift the
loudspeaker onto the pole.
Do not move a subwoofer if a loudspeaker and pole are
mounted on it.

Refer to — Figure 8

1. Place the E118sw subwoofer (1) on a solid level surface positioned where
you want to use it.

2. Screw the threaded end of the 36-inch mounting pole (3) clockwise into the
pole-mounting bracket (2) on top of the subwoofer. Hand tighten only.

3. Select one of the two pole mount cups on the E Series loudspeaker:

• The rear cup (4) has no tilt.

• The front cup (5) gives a downward tilt of 10°.

4. Carefully place the loudspeaker onto the pole.

Installation Options

The following options require purchasing an accessory kit designed for the
E Series loudspeakers.

Yoke Mounting the Loudspeakers

A yoke accessory allows the E110, E112, or E115 to be mounted on a surface,
such as a wall or ceiling. The E118sw and E218sw subwoofers cannot be yoke­mounted. Each model has a corresponding yoke accessory kit:

• E110 Yoke Accessory Kit:

• E112 Yoke Accessory Kit:

• E115 Yoke Accessory Kit:

Suspending the Loudspeakers

A pair of E110 loudspeakers can be suspended using the M8 Suspension Kit

To suspend an E112, E115, or E215 loudspeaker, use the M10 KIT-W, which contains three eye bolts.

The E118sw and E218sw subwoofers cannot be suspended.

Always consult a licensed and qualified rigger or structural engineer before suspending any loudspeaker.

M8 KIT A

, which contains six eye bolts and six washers.

Subwoofer Caster Kits

Optional casters are available to install on the subwoofer models to make them more mobile and ideal for use in portable sound systems.

Both the E118sw and the E218sw subwoofers use a kit of two locking and two non-locking 4-inch casters with 16 mounting screws, QSC part number FG-901156-00
(one kit needed per subwoofer).
