QSC AcousticDesign™ Series AD-S.SUB 6.5" Dual Voice Coil Small Format Surface Mount Subwoofer
for Background Music in Retail, Cafe, Restaurant, Fine Dining, Hospitality, and Commercial Applications

The QSC AD-S.SUB is part of the AcousticDesign™ Series SUB/SAT loudspeaker line which is 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.SUB features a high-quality 6.5-inch weather treated paper cone woofer on a dual voice-coil for improved thermal dissipation and higher output within a small form factor.

The accurate frequency response of the AD-S.SUB is maintained even in 70 / 100 V applications by use of a low-loss, low-saturation 100 W transformer with selectable taps, including 4 Ω bypass in mono mode.

The AD-S.SUB includes built-in high-pass filtered outputs for connecting up to four AcousticDesign Series satellite loudspeakers. This feature greatly reduces system setup, amplifier channel count, and allows for ease of wiring.

The inputs and outputs are located behind a reversible rear panel. The input panel features convenient cable tie anchor points to dress the installation. All in-thru and outputs are terminated to locking 4-pole Euroblock style connectors capable of 12AWG (2 mm) wire thickness.

Configuring the AD-S.SUB for operation is made simple by clearly defined rotary selectors and isolated inputs allowing for faster and more reliable setup.

The two-piece mounting system is a slip locking V design with minimal wall protrusion and has a set screw to lock in place. The wall mounting hardware is also reversible allowing the port tubes to be oriented in the desired direction.

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

The AD-S.SUB is also available in white (AD‐S.SUB‐WH). It can also be painted to match any decor.
