Frequently Asked Questions - ADS10T QSC

How to install the ADS10T speaker on the wall?

Use the provided X-Mount bracket. First, attach the bracket to a solid surface with suitable screws, then hang the speaker by aligning the X-slot and push until it locks. Tighten the adjustment screws with a 5 mm Allen key to adjust the angle.

How to wire the speaker for 70/100 V line?

Use 12-gauge cable. Connect the negative and positive wires to the INPUT terminals of the European connector. For daisy-chaining, use the THRU terminals. Adjust the transformer tap selector with a 4 mm flathead screwdriver according to the desired power.

How to adjust the transformer power?

Insert a 4 mm flat-blade screwdriver into the hole of the tap selector and turn. At the maximum clockwise position, the transformer is in 8 Ω bypass. The intermediate positions correspond to specific power taps for 70 V or 100 V.

What type of cable to use for installation?

It is recommended to use 12-gauge cable (AWG 12) for optimal performance. Make sure the cable is suitable for outdoor use if necessary.

Can the speaker be used outdoors?

Yes, the ADS10T is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It has an IP-54 rating and has been tested against corrosion, humidity, and extreme temperatures (-20 to 50 °C). Use the supplied weather cover for exposed installations.

How to suspend the speaker?

Remove the M10 plugs underneath the enclosure and install two M10 eyebolts (M10 Kit-C accessory) at the attachment points. Attach a suitable cable to the safety ring at the back of the speaker. Follow local building codes and use a professional installer.

How to clean the speaker?

Use a dry cloth to clean the enclosure. Do not use chemicals or water. If the grille is dirty, you can dust it with a soft cloth. Make sure the device is unplugged before cleaning.

What to do in case of failure or malfunction?

First, consult the manual for common issues. If the problem persists, have repairs carried out by qualified personnel. Contact QSC customer service at [phone] or [e-mail].

How to remove the speaker from the bracket?

Disconnect all wiring and the safety cord. If the safety tab is in place, press it and slide the speaker in the opposite direction of installation. If the tab has been removed, reinsert it or use a small rod (< 4 mm) to release the lock.

What optional accessories are available?

Optional accessories include the cradle mount kit (YMS10T-WHT or YMS10T-BLK) and the M10 eyebolt kit M10 Kit-C. These allow additional mounting options such as suspension or cradle mounting.

Introduction

AcousticDesign series is a line of premium surface-mount loudspeakers intended for permanent installation applications. Housed in rugged ABS molded enclosures, each loudspeaker (except the AD-S12 and AD-S112sw) features a 70/100V transformer for use with distributed-audio lines. The unique X-Mount™ Bracket and Euro-style connector, supplied with each AcousticDesign loudspeaker, are designed for maximum flexibility and a quick install. Featuring a knurled ball-mount and discrete angle deployment marks, installers can set loudspeaker deployment angles quickly and securely. The Euro-style connector allows pre-wiring of the system and when combined with the quick "snap-on" deployment of the loudspeaker to the mount, installation is completed in a fraction of the time required versus competitive models.
