Entertainment Venues ∙ Rental/Production ∙ HOW ∙ Mobile Performers
The E Series is a range of passive
loudspeakers intended for sound reinforcement applications including live performance,
DJ and dance music, karaoke and rental
production. With continuous power ratings
ranging from 300 to 800 watts, E Series is a
great match for QSC GXD and PLD
amplifiers. While E Series speakers will
perform well with any professional amplifier,
QSC has developed custom DSP tunings
for GXD and PLD amplifiers that will
produce extraordinary results.
E Series consists of four models
constructed of rugged plywood and coated
in black, textured paint. Heavy-duty
lined with foam provide protection for the
woofers and a professional appearance. All
three two-way models are equipped with an
all metal, dual-angle, 35 mm socket that
allows the speaker to be mounted vertically
on a pole or angled down by 10° to improve
audience coverage and reduce rear wall
reflections. Multiple mounting options using
E Series accessories are supported. Input
connections include dual NL4 as well as
screw-down terminals.
E10
The E10 is a compact, two-way
loudspeaker featuring a 10-inch, die cast
frame woofer with a 2.5-inch voice-coil
housed in a multi-purpose enclosure that’s
at home in stage monitor or main PA
deployment. It incorporates QSC DMT
(Directivity Matched Transition) design with a
wide 85° coverage. When used as a stage
monitor, the E10 is angled up at a deliberate
55° angle allowing it to be placed near the
performer when used on a crowded stage.
E12
The E12 is a trapezoidal, two-way
loudspeaker featuring a 12-inch die cast
aluminum woofer with a 3-inch voice-coil.
The 15 mm, 11-ply enclosure provides
enough volume to deliver solid lowfrequency extension down to 50 Hz, making
it an excellent choice for applications in
which space or budget
preclude the use of
grilles
™
a subwoofer. The DMT coverage angle of
85° is ideal for most medium and mediumlong throw applications.
E15
The E15 is a trapezoidal, two-way
loudspeaker featuring a 15-inch, 500 W, die
cast aluminum frame woofer with a 3.5-inch
voice coil. It is intended for use when highpower and powerful low-end are needed
from a full-range loudspeaker. A massive
2.8-inch compression driver attached to the
75° DMT waveguide ensures that even the
furthermost listeners will hear clearly.
E18SW
The E18SW is a high-performance direct
radiating subwoofer with a single, 800 W,
18-inch, aluminum frame woofer. It is
designed to produce crushing low-end for
live performance with kick-drum and bass in
the PA or for high-level, high-energy dance
music. A threaded, M20 pole socket and
speaker pole are provided for sub/satellite
use with any of the E Series two-way
models. For portable applications it includes
attachment points for four optional casters.
The subwoofer’s 4 ohm impedance means
that a single woofer can be optimally
powered by a less expensive amplifier.
PLD, GXD and TouchMix Tunings
E Series loudspeakers will perform very well
with any quality, professional power amplifier.
However, by taking advantage of the
complete QSC entertainment system, more
performance and options become available.
Today’s powered loudspeakers rely on finely
tuned digital signal processing (DSP) to
achieve a higher level of performance. When
used with QSC PLD or GXD amplifiers or
with a QSC TouchMix digital mixer, E Series
loudspeakers can also take advantage of
advanced DSP. QSC has developed
E Series DSP settings for all three platforms.
These settings support a variety of applications including live sound reinforcement (with
and without subw
dance music and karaoke.
