QSC Introduces Two New Cinema Loudspeaker Systems Built expressly to meet the needs of professional motion picture playback in smaller theatres QSC’s new SC-2150 loudspeaker is one of two new members of the DCS (Digital Cinema Speaker) series. Offering high-power handling excellent sensitivity and extended bass response in a very compact enclosure the SC-2150 is a three-way full-range or bi-amplified screen channel loudspeaker comprised of two main units: A mid-high frequency system and a low frequency enclosure. The components are easily assembled on-site via a pan and tilt bracket that mounts the mid-high components to the top of the LF enclosure. The mid-high system features a high output horn-loaded 6.5-inch midrange cone driver and a 1.4-inch (35.6 mm) diaphragm compression driver. QSC’s patented Cine-Sight simplifies aiming of the horns for proper audience coverage. The dual 15-inch (381 mm) low-frequency enclosure is built to address the extended low-frequency response required for cinema applications. The compact LF device is only 14.5-inch (368 mm) deep reducing the space required behind the screen. The enclosure is constructed of high quality MDF panels and employs separate chambers for each transducer. In the rare event of a transducer theft or failure this prevents over-excursion of the remaining transducer caused by improper box loading. Thanks to a design feature within which the bass ports are evenly spaced on each side of the transducers internal pressure within the enclosure is more uniform across the back surface of the drivers. This prevents the cone from being displaced to one side or another by unbalanced forces reducing the chance of driving the voice coil out of the center of the gap at high power. QSC’s new SR-8100 cinema surround loudspeaker is the second newcomer to the DCS Series built expressly for use in smaller theatres. Offering high power handling sensitivity and extended bass response in a very compact enclosure the device features a long-throw 8-inch low-frequency transducer coupled with a 1-inch soft dome tweeter. The system’s MDF enclosure incorporates a 15 degree down angle baffle and easily accessible top-mounted terminals. The 125-watt continuous power rating and sophisticated crossover with protection circuitry provides absolute reliability while the black-finished enclosure with black grille blends easily into any theatre environment.
