The QSC Acoustic Design AD-S12 is a surface mounted low impedance, 12” two-way loudspeaker system, ideally suited for a wide variety of foreground and background sound reinforcement applications. The AD-S12 features a high quality 12" weather treated paper cone woofer on a 2.5" voice coil.  A carefully selected 1” exit, 1.4" compression driver perfectly matches the sensitivity and performance of the woofer for outstanding full-range reproduction. Consistent and even 75° 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.

 AD-S12 Features

  • 12-inch weather treated woofer; 1.4-inch compression driver
