Broad dispersion of all frequencies is achieved with a 12" true coaxial driver where LF and HF share a common magnetic circuit and proprietary dispersion technologies. Along with a hemispherical coverage pattern that covers a large area with fewer speakers, the Q-12A utilizes our exclusive patent-pending Poly-Exponential Incidence Reflector. It comes fully assembled and ready to mount using our hanging kit or mounting bracket. The Q-12A is available in a weatherproof configuration (Q-12AWR) for outdoor use, featuring a protective screen over the holes and driver to prevent birds from nesting in the speaker. Features · Hemispherical coverage pattern. · Accurate, full-range voice announcements. · Enhanced high-fidelity music reproduction. · High sensitivity (94 dB 1 W / 1 M). · High SPL capability (118 dB @ 1 M). · Exclusive patent-pending Poly-Exponential Incidence Reflector. · Hanging or surface-mount. · Standard white (paintable) available 1 Impedance listed per IEC 60268-5 with a minimum less than 80% the nominal impedance 2 1 W / 1 M sensitivity determined using nominal impedance 3 Frequency response measured in half or full space as dictated by speaker mounting configuration 4 Max program power is 3 dB above max continuous power 5 Continuous power rating, EIA-426-B test 6 Max output based on max continuous power Q-12A Powerful Omnidirectional Loudspeaker Applications Providing high-power, high-fidelity foreground music and voice, the Q-12A loudspeaker is ideal for applications such as gymnasiums, ice rinks, arenas, churches, swimming pools, transportation terminals, factories, open public areas, bars/nightclubs and anywhere that clear voice announcements and high-fidelity foreground music are required at high sound pressure levels. Patented Technologies Soundsphere and the MSE Audio Group constantly develop new technologies which enhance audio product performance. Soundsphere innovations are protected by multiple U.S. and international patents, which explicitly cover Soundsphere's enclosure and dispersion technologies. The MSE Audio Group actively defends its patents in order to protect Soundsphere resellers and end-users. Technical Data and Specification Tools Soundsphere strives to provide complete and effective technical information and data to dealers, engineers and designers.
