Innovation Requested

When cinema owners asked for a system solution for their small rooms, QSC had a challenge. Before a cinema system can earn the QSC name, it has to perform to the highest standard. That means delivering the sound movie patrons expect with fidelity, great low end and crisp, clear highs. It means ease of installation and operation unmatched by anything else in the industry. And it means flawless performance, day-after-day and year-after-year.

Mission Accomplished

The centerpiece of the QSC small cinema solution is the SC-2150 Screen Channel Loudspeaker, a very compact loudspeaker system that delivers deep bass and clean, clear dialog. Just over a foot deep, the SC-2150 installs easily behind the screen where other systems just won’t fit. It might even save enough space for another row of seating. With two 15" (381 mm) woofers and a mid-high frequency system that quickly attaches to the bass cabinet with just three bolts, the system delivers smooth, clean response all over the room.

The SC-2150 makes life easy for cinema operators. The built-in passive crossover is switchable for bi-amp or full passive operation, eliminating the need for multiple models. Internal circuitry protects the high-frequency and mid-frequency drivers from over-powering, easily handling dynamic, uncompressed digital soundtracks. And aiming the system is a breeze with the patented* QSC CineSight. With 3-way performance for the price of competitive 2-way systems, QSC quality is more affordable than ever.

Raising the Bar

QSC didn't stop with the main speakers. Companion surround speakers offer the same thoughtful approach to performance and installation. The SR-8100 starts with high-quality components designed for smooth response, high power handling and incredible dynamic range. These components are housed in a sturdy, non-resonant MDF cabinet for great low frequency performance. Plus, QSC designers made sure the surround speakers will keep on working by adding internal limiter circuitry designed to protect the components even when they're pushed to the max.
