Soundsphere Q-12A Omnidirectional Loudspeaker for High Sound Pressure Levels
The Soundsphere Q-12A is the ideal loudspeaker for applications requiring high sound pressure levels and crystal-clear voice announcements. Perfect for environments such as gymnasiums, ice rinks, arenas, churches, swimming pools, transportation terminals, factories, bars, nightclubs, and other large open areas, the Q-12A ensures clear communication and high-fidelity foreground music at high volumes.
Designed to handle high SPLs (Sound Pressure Levels) up to 121 dB, the Q-12A offers exceptional sensitivity (97dB 1W/1m), making it a powerful solution for spaces that require both voice intelligibility and high-quality music reproduction at elevated sound levels. The patent-pending Poly-Exponential Incidence Reflector ensures uniform sound distribution across large areas, providing hemispherical coverage for optimal acoustic performance.
With its durable design and flexible installation options, the Q-12A can be mounted using either the included hanging kit or surface-mount bracket. It comes in textured white for a discreet, professional look, and is also available in a weather-resistant version (Q-12AWR) for outdoor installations, with a protective screen to prevent debris or birds from nesting.
