The heart of QSC’s complete cinema audio solution is our advanced DCP Series cinema processor. Built-in QSControl.net™ and SNMP networking enable control and monitoring of multiple auditoriums from either a local control room or remote network operations center. The DCP can communicate directly with our ultrareliable DCA amplifiers via our highperformance DataPort interface, or connect using CobraNet™ on Cat-5 to QSC’s new DXP Digital Expansion Processor. The DXP works with the DCP 200 and 300 cinema processors to create the most powerful networked audio solution for cinema. DCA Series amplifiers connect to the DXP via twelve DataPorts for maximum output and control flexibility for even the largest systems. The DataPort connection supplies audio to the amplifier and controls the AC power while monitoring key amplifier conditions such as clipping and heat

surround and screen amps in separate locations from the DCP, up to two DXP’s may be connected to each DCP. The DCP/DXP combination is ideal for multi-channel audio systems with up to 16 inputs. Moving signals via CobraNet™ over standard Cat-5 cable and Ethernet hardware potentially replaces hundreds of audio cables, helping you to vastly reduce installation, labor and material costs. It also improves performance by eliminating the losses inherent in long cable runs. For ease of use, the DCP/DXP system can be controlled via a Wi-Fi network with Android™ and iOS devices. The DCPConnect application is a free download from the app store. Remote control of volume and audio and control preset selection are provided along with a system diagnostics page that assures all amps and speakers are operating correctly.

QSC is the complete cinema audio solution. Processors, Amps, Speakers and Networking integrate into a complete cinema audio solution that maximizes performance and audience impact. •

DCS Screen Channel 2-way systems QSC has updated the high-frequency compression driver in our 2- and 3-way screen channel loudspeakers. The new driver is identical in acoustic performance and power handling to the previous version and in fact, uses the exact same 3” (75 mm) diameter titanium diaphragm. The key difference is the use of a ferrite magnet instead of neodymium.

DCS Screen Channel 3-way systems DCS 3-way screen channel systems are designed for impressive power and fidelity in bi- or tri-amp operation. A short vertical profile provides excellent stereo imaging and dialog localization. With eight models, our 3-way line offers high performance for the full spectrum of auditorium sizes. Compact systems with a single LF driver are perfect for small rooms, as is our dual-driver SC2150 shallow profile system. 2-, 3-, and 4-driver systems handle mid-sized and large rooms with ease. The new SC423C-F provides the same acoustical performance as the SC-423C screen channel loudspeaker in a safe and easy to suspend â&#x20AC;&#x153;flyingâ&#x20AC;? version. It is ideal for rigging above the screen or as a point source surround speaker. The new SC-423C-F is designed to be used in bi-amp mode and the LF-4215-F lowfrequency enclosure is now rated at 4 ohms for optimum power matching to DCA amplifiers.

DCS Screen Channel 4-way Systems When only a peak cinema experience will do, QSC 4-way screen channel systems provide the depth, brilliance, and intelligibility that will bring a great soundtrack to life. Designed for trior quad-amp operation, our 4-way systems feature the MHV-1090 HF/ VHF driver, a unique 2-way design with concentric low-mass diaphragms that are acoustically centered for maximum wavefront coherence. With the VHF driver handling 6 kHz and above, the HF driver is optimized for the 1.7 - 6 kHz range - critical for dialog intelligibility. Delivering exceptional clarity, power, and dynamic range, our 4-way systems offer the best available sound for all sizes of premium cinema.

CINEMA LOUDSPEAKERS

All-New Design

DCS surround loudspeakers

• Sleek new look • Smaller overall size • Higher Output Capability • Pair packed for lower freight cost

Surround channels draw the audience into the action by creating an immersive multidimensional soundscape. It takes power, fidelity, and coverage to accurately create that experience in an auditorium. The all new surround speaker range now offers improved audio performance and better styling to look as good as they sound. That’s why DCS surround loudspeakers are purpose-built for cinema deployment. Quality MDF enclosures deliver extended bass response over wide coverage areas. And high-output drivers project cleanly to every seat. We’ve also thought through the practical details. Pre-installed speaker-side hardware allows fast single-installer mounting, and brackets support down-angles of either 15° (standard) or 23° (optional). We also include parallel outputs to make multi-speaker connections easy. With a range of compact enclosures that fit every decor, our DCS line offers the perfect surround solution for any size theater.

All specs are subject to change. DCS surrounds connect with barrier strip screw terminals that accept up to #10 AWG stranded wire.

Axisymetrical Horns The new SR-8200, SR-1020 and SR-1030 use a new Axisymetrical horn design to achieve impressive sound quality. The most natural sounding horns avoid parallel surfaces and abrupt changes in contour. The mouth (opening) of the horn should be about the same diameter as the woofer. In speakers where that isn’t the case, it’s likely that either the crossover frequency is too high or the horn isn’t controlling the coverage pattern all the way down to the crossover frequency. DMT All woofers have wide coverage at lower frequencies that narrows as frequency increases. Many speaker designs ignore this acoustic principal and pretend that only the highfrequency horn coverage matters. In reality, a smooth, directional transition from woofer to horn is important. QSC calls this technique Directivity Matched Transition (DMT). DMT matches the high-frequency coverage angle to the coverage angle of the woofer at the crossover frequency. The sonic benefits will be clear when you listen for yourself.
