QSC has debuted its new QSC AcousticDesign Direct Weather Landscape Loudspeakers, based around an elevated bollard enclosure design intended to make sound to travel above obstructions while providing an impact-resistant solution for customized outdoor installations.
The Direct Weather Landscape Series includes the AD-DWL.180 loudspeaker (180° directional coverage) and the AD-DWL.360 loudspeaker (360° directional coverage), while the companion AD-DWL.SUB subwoofer extends the low-frequency sound profile. All models feature tamper-resistant base support and a subtle green enclosure to match most landscaping aesthetics. The exteriors are also paintable to allow further customization.
All loudspeakers in the AD-DWL Series share the same footprint and provide a direct-to-concrete or in-earth base support for a secure permanent installation. In addition, the loudspeakers are built for outdoor environments with a polypropylene/fiberglass construction and stainless-steel hardware featuring an IP-55 (Ingress Protection) rating.
The AcousticDesign Series Direct Weather Series offers the same sonic characteristics as the rest of the AcousticDesign Series, making it possible for users to mix-and-match to best suit an application. Integrators can also use QSC Intrinsic Correction for the tuning process with built-in custom QSC loudspeaker voicings via the Q-SYS cloud-manageable audio, video, and control Platform or CXD Series amplifier platforms.
