The QSC AcousticDesign™ AD-S4T is a surface mounted 70/100V, 4.5" two-way loudspeaker system, ideally suited for a wide variety of foreground and background sound reinforcement applications. The AD-S4T features a high quality 100 mm [4 in] weather treated paper cone woofer on a 25 mm [1 in] voice coil.  A carefully selected 19 mm [.75 in] silk dome tweeter with a 19 mm [.75 in] voice coil perfectly matches the sensitivity and performance of the woofer for outstanding full-range reproduction. Consistent and even 120° axisymmetric (conical) coverage is achieved through DMT™ (Directivity Matched Transition), a QSC 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. The even, accurate frequency response of the AD-S4T is maintained even in 70/100V applications by use of a lowloss, low-saturation 30-watt transformer with selectable taps, including an 8Ω bypass. To preserve weather resistance, the rotary selector is located on the back of the enclosure, protected by a weather grommet.

AD-S4T Features

  • 4.5-inch weather treated woofer; 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter
