AD-S82
AcousticDesign™ Loudspeaker
The QSC AcousticDesign AD-S82 is a full range, surface
mount loudspeaker with sleek, contemporary styling
that fits perfectly into multiple environments and
applications including hotels, restaurants, convention
facilities, and multimedia environments. The speaker
incorporates QSC’s revolutionary IntelliDock intelligent
mounting system (patent pending) combined with the
Advanced Directivity rotatable waveguide. Available
in black or white, these great sounding, weather
resistant enclosures can be painted to match any
specific decor.
With both high output and standard versions, the
AD-S82 is a 2-way system housed in a ported enclosure
made from injection molded, high-impact polystyrene.
This enclosure incorporates an 8" weatherproof,
LF transducer with a heavy-duty double roll cloth
surround. High output versions employ a 1" exit
compression HF driver while standard versions provide
a 1" pure titanium dome tweeter. Both versions are
available with or without a transformer. The HF driver
is coupled with QSC’s unique Advanced Directivity
rotatable waveguide—enabling the loudspeaker to
deliver accurately focused sound, regardless of it’s
mounted orientation.
QSC’s new IntelliDock intelligent mounting system
raises the bar for contractor speaker ease of installation
and security. The IntelliDock docking station combines
all the components needed to mount, wire, and position
the speaker into a single housing—independent from
the enclosure. The speaker enclosure locks onto the
docking station in one step, simultaneously making
electrical connections and holding the speaker in
place. This exceptional design carries the added
benefit of security—reducing the possibility of theft.
When opening night arrives, snap the enclosures onto
the docking stations and feed the program material. A
total of three mounting configurations are available—
including a standard yoke mount.
