AcousticDesign Series (Premium)

Features & Benefits

AcousticDesign™ surface loudspeakers offer a variety of models specifically tailored for demands of higher fidelity applications. Designed for clarity and presence, these loudspeaker systems deliver pristine audio reproduction for installations requiring a refined audio experience. Models ship complete with the award winning X-Mount™ system and weather input cover.

Consistent and even conical coverage is achieved through Directivity Matched Transition (DMT™), an innovation which matches the directivity patterns of the woofer and the high-frequency waveguide at the crossover point. The result is a coherent transition between transducers and improved off-axis response.
AcousticDesign models with (T) suffix feature low-loss, low-saturation transformers with selectable taps, including an 8Ω bypass. To enhance weather resistance, the rotary selector is located on the back of the enclosure, protected by a weather grommet.
To further enhance performance and speed of install with optimum result, advanced voicing filter sets using Intrinsic Correction™ techniques are available via Q-SYS.

Installers will appreciate the award-winning X-Mount™ system included with each full-range AcousticDesign model. This ingenious mounting solution achieves unprecedented ease-of-installation in horizontal, vertical, wall, or ceiling deployments.
Knurled surfaces at the pivot planes ensure the load will not drift or sag over time. Articulation marks allow pre-configuration of the X-Mount™ while on the ground with no special tools required. Once secure, the loudspeaker installs in seconds, allowing the installer to work safer, smarter, and faster with repeatable results.
Furthermore, AcousticDesign surface-mount speakers may be adapted to third-party mounting solutions or used with the following ball-mount and yoke mount accessories:
• AD-S32T: Yoke and ball mount included
• AD-S52/S52T: YM-5 Yoke Mount available
• AD-S6T/AD-S8T/AD-S10T/AD-S12: X-Mount™
included, Yoke Mounts available
With rugged ABS enclosures, sealed input panel covers, and powder-coated aluminum grilles for weather resistance, the AcousticDesign surface mounted series exceed IEC60529 IP-54 ratings for dust and splash resistance.
Designed for all general audio applications, AcousticDesign surface-mount models come in a wide range of sizes, from a compact 3-inch 2-way to a dual 8-inch 2-way and even a dual 8-inch subwoofer. Several models have built-in 70/100 volt distributed line transformers.
Complementing adjacent product families, AcousticDesign surface loudspeakers are available in black (RAL 9011) or white (RAL 9010) and may be painted to match any décor.
