The Netherlands - QSC Audio has announced an extension to its AcousticDesign ceiling speaker range, with the release of two new high-output models: the AD-C1200 and AD-C820/C821 at ISE in Amsterdam next month.

The AD-C1200 high-output Ceiling Mount Loudspeaker System features 12" low frequency woofer, 1.75" diaphragm compression driver, 300W continuous power rating, and a 70V / 100V multi-tap transformer (enabling the system to operate in distributed or low-impedance mode).

The AD-C1200 has been designed for music playback, public address and distributed audio in applications that require high output from a ceiling mounted loudspeaker.

The AcousticDesign Series of installation loudspeakers has been designed for trouble free operation and versatility. Utilising custom designed transducers and crossover networks, in combination with an acoustically optimised enclosure (AD-C1200BB), the AD-C1200 embraces the AD Series philosophy by bringing the same versatility and reliability to high-ceiling applications, says the company.

Each AD-C1200 includes the coaxial transducers, a transformer and a crossover network, factory mounted on a steel baffle. The baffle is designed to mount to the QSC enclosure or to any ~2.5 ft3 enclosure using industry standard transducer mounting dimensions. A square grille (AD-C1200SG) is available to complete the installation.

The 12" woofer is made with a treated paper cone on a steel frame. In the optimised enclosure the usable low frequency of the system extends to 37Hz. The 1.75" compression driver fires through the centre of the woofer and is acoustically mated to the woofer for a smooth transition at crossover. The system achieves 85° axisymmetric coverage.

This model is complemented by the AD-C820/C821, which features 8" low frequency woofer, 1.75" diaphragm compression driver, 200W continuous power rating, 70V / 100V multi-tap transformer (enabling the system to operate in distributed or low-impedance mode) and AD-C820 transducer/baffle assembly for separated backcan installation. The AD-C821 has been designed as a fully integrated blind-mount system.
