QSC Audio Introduces New Self-Powered Loudspeakers

Powered speaker simplicity, QSC reliability

 

23.01.2006 -- While the self-powered loudspeaker has become a staple among recording, live sound, and A/V professionals, the majority of products currently available have been designed and created by loudspeaker manufacturers, typically leaving the amplifier as the system's weakest link. With the HPR Series, QSC has designed a powered loudspeaker system with the same top-quality discrete components and rigorous standards used in QSC's rack-mounted amplifiers, and perfectly matched it to its speaker components. With the success of its acclaimed ISIS WideLine, AcousticDesign™ and ModularDesign™ lines, the company has also firmly established itself as an innovative leader in loudspeaker design.

 

Boasting heavy-duty 13-ply birch enclosures, tour-grade 16-gauge steel grilles, ergonomic handles and even heavy-duty 3" castors on the HPR181W, the HPR line is designed to travel. All HPR models feature QSC's unrivalled performance and power, and are backed by the company's legendary customer service and support.

 

"For over 35 years, QSC has been making everyone else's speakers sound great," remarked QSC Audio CEO Barry Andrews. "With the HPR Series, we've taken our undisputed leadership in amplifier technology and fused it with our rapidly growing dominance as a major force in loudspeaker design. The HPR Series is a self-powered loudspeaker system worthy of the QSC name."

 

The HPR152F is a versatile two-way, bi-amplified 15" system delivering 500 watts of continuous power with an extended frequency range of 48 Hz – 20,000 Hz and a generous coverage pattern of 90° x 60°. The HPR153F is a three-way, horn-loaded design featuring a 15" low frequency driver, a 6" midrange and 1.4" compression driver. With a smooth dispersion pattern of 90° x 40° and 600 watts of continuous power, the HPR153F boasts an extended frequency range of 37 Hz – 20,000 Hz. Both units are ideal for nearly any sound reinforcement setting.

 

The new HPR Series also features the HPR151W, a 15" subwoofer capable of outputting 133dB of peak SPL and a low frequency response down to 43 Hz, as well as the HPR181W, an 18" subwoofer with a peak SPL of 134dB and a range to 39Hz. Both models offer 700 watts of power for tight, punchy low-end reinforcement in any sound system, with flexible input signal processing and multiple connectivity options that make them ideal choices for almost any system configuration.
