Cinema Loudspeaker Systems User Manual

HF-75 High Frequency Component

Introduction The HF-75 is the high frequency component of the SC-412 and SC-422 twoway, biamplified screen channel loudspeakers for high performance cinema applications. The system is shipped as two separate components: the HF-75 high frequency system and the LF-4115 or LF-4215 woofer system. The HF-75 high-frequency system features a large format, 3” (75mm) titanium diaphragm compression driver mounted on a custom designed highfrequency cinema horn with an adjustable pan and tilt bracket. The horn features broad horizontal and vertical coverage angles to ensure coverage of every seat in the auditorium. The horn is a low-distortion waveguide providing highly articulate dialogue without the “honky” coloration associated with conventional horn loudspeakers. The HF-75 includes a driver protection and equalization network. DC blocking capacitors protect against DC or low-frequency signals that would likely destroy an unprotected driver. Power limiter circuitry protects the driver from over-powering and a response correction filter smoothes the frequency response of the horn/driver combination. The driver and equalization network provides for more reliable operation, ensuring the show will go on. The HF-75 components come pre-assembled to reduce field assembly time. Three bolts are all that are required to secure the HF-75 to the top of the low frequency enclosure.

Refer to the illustration for mounting information. The HF-75 attaches to the top of the LF-4115 or LF-4215 with three 5/16-18 bolts, 0.75” long, with lock washers. We recommend the use of serviceable thread locking compound when installing the bolts to prevent loosening due to vibration. Aim the horn in the horizontal plane (pan) before tightening. Adjust the vertical tilt with the bracket adjustment. Install in accordance with QSC Audio Product’s instructions and a licensed, professional engineer. Only use attachments, mounts, accessories, or brackets specified by QSC Audio Products, Inc. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way. WARNING! Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation, placement, or array. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term unexpected overloading. Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment. Consult a licensed, professional engineer when any doubt or questions arise regarding a physical equipment installation.

The HF-75 has barrier strip screw terminals that accept up to #10 AWG stranded loudspeaker wire. HF INPUT Terminals Connect the amplifier’s output signal to the loudspeaker’s HF INPUT terminals. Observe proper polarity; amplifier + signal to loudspeaker + HF INPUT, amplifier - signal to loudspeaker - HF INPUT. Use the largest wire size and shortest length for the application. NOTE! Do not apply full range signal to the HF-75! There is no crossover in the HF-75, only a compensation/ delay network. All required signal processing must be done upstream of the HF-75. Maintain proper loudspeaker connection polarity throughout the entire system for maximum performance. HF OUTPUT Terminals The HF OUTPUT terminals are factory-connected to the compression driver. These terminals should ONLY be connected to the HF75’s compression driver.

LF-4115 Low Frequency Loudspeaker

Introduction The LF-4115 15” (381mm) low frequency enclosure is designed specifically for cinema applications. Meeting cinema requirements for extended low frequency response differentiates the LF-4115 from more conventional “rock-and-roll” woofer systems. The LF-4115 covers the frequency range from 33 Hertz to 1200 Hertz, depending upon the high frequency system requirements. The custom 400 watt, 15” transducer was developed specifically for cinema use. It features a 4” (100mm) voice coil, 120 oz.(3.4kg) ceramic magnet, and a multi-vented pole piece to ensure cool operation. Cooler temperatures increase transducer lifespan and decrease the problem of power compression at high power levels. An undercut pole piece ensures the voice coil operates in a symmetrical magnetic gap, reducing second order harmonic distortion. The suspension and voice coil of the transducer have been designed to provide low distortion and high impact bass at high power. The enclosure is constructed of high quality medium density fiberboard panels with stiffening braces on all six panels. Both internal and external port openings are fully radiused ensuring smooth air flow at higher power levels, preventing audible port turbulence.

Mounting points for high or mid-high frequency system

Bass ports are symmetrically spaced on each side of the transducer, making internal pressure more uniform across the back surface of the transducer. This prevents the cone from being displaced to one side or another by unbalanced forces, reducing the chance of driving the voice coil out of the center of the gap at high power.

Three T-nuts in the top of the enclosure provide easy mounting of QSC’s HF-75 high frequency system, or MH-1063 mid-high system. Enclosure is not designed to be suspended, flown, or rigged. Do not suspend, fly, or rig this enclosure. This product is capable of producing sound pressure levels that can permanently damage human hearing. Always keep sound pressure levels in the listening area below levels that can damage human hearing. Install in accordance with QSC Audio Product’s instructions and a licensed, professional engineer. Only use attachments, mounts, accessories, or brackets specified by QSC Audio Products, Inc. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way. WARNING! Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation, placement, or array. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term unexpected overloading. Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment. Consult a licensed, professional engineer when any doubt or questions arise regarding a physical equipment installation.

The LF-4115 has barrier strip screw terminals for connection. The terminals accept up to #10 AWG (5.3mm2) stranded loudspeaker wiring. Use the largest wire size and shortest wire length possible for a given installation. Observe the polarity markings and keep polarity consistent throughout the system for best performance.
