USA - As the latest addition to QSC's AcousticDesign Series, the AD-S28T surface mount subwoofer is acoustically matched to all other offerings within the AD Series. Shipped with a spec sheet revealing a continuous power handling capacity of 250 watts and capabilities for managing up to 700 watt peaks, the new subwoofer has a 70/100 volt multi-tap transformer with 8-ohm bypass, frequency response of 42 Hz-165 Hz, and sensitivity of 94 dB (1W/1m).

Central to the AD-S28Tw's high performance prowess are a pair of 8" woofers outfitted with polypropylene cones for added protection in humid environments. The loudspeaker's bandpass enclosure incorporates a pair of chambers: one that is completely sealed, and another with a large port. Giving added precision to low frequency extension down to 36 Hz, the highly efficient design is further complemented by an onboard low-pass filter set at 120 Hz.

Featuring marine-grade plywood construction, a zinc-plated steel grille with a black foam backing, moulded ABS endcaps, and a rotatable logo, the AD-S28Tw enclosure has additionally been fitted with a recessed rear input panel covered by a hinged door. Nickel-plated input and output terminals found on the subwoofer accept wiring ranging from 18 AWG to 12 AWG. One switch selects between the 70/100V transformer taps, while another enables or disables the passive low-pass filter.
