• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Adhere to all applicable, local codes.

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.

Mount the Loudspeakers

Install the X-Mount™ Bracket

Refer to – Figure 4

WARNING!: Install the system in accordance with local building codes and regulations. Use a licensed contractor or professional engineer. QSC Audio Products is not responsible for damages resulting from the negligent installation of any bracket or loudspeaker.

1. Mount to a surface capable of supporting the weight of the loudspeaker.

• Figure 4 -

Adjust the Angle of the X-Mount™ Bracket

Refer to – Figure 5

NOTE: This step may be done now or after mounting the loudspeaker.

1. Use a 5mm hex wrench to loosen the adjustment locking screws.
2. Orient the bracket as necessary.

1. Tighten the adjustment locking screws.

Mount the Loudspeaker on the Bracket

Refer to – Figure 6.

NOTE: The loudspeaker can be placed on the mount in ANY direction (Up, Down, Left, Right).

1. Align the "X" slot with the X-Mount™ bracket and push the loudspeaker onto the bracket. (1)
2. When seated, pull the loudspeaker down to lock the loudspeaker onto the bracket. (2)
3. (Optional) Remove and retain the security tab (3); pull straight out. To remove the loudspeaker, re-install the security tab, press in and then remove the loudspeaker.

Connect a Safety Tether (Not supplied)

WARNING!: DO NOT connect the tether to the mounting bracket or the screws holding the mounting bracket.

1. It is recommended that you connect a safety tether from the safety ring (4) on the back of the loudspeaker to a spot on the wall that is structurally sufficient to hold the weight of the loudspeaker in the event the loudspeaker should fall.

Suspend the Loudspeaker

Refer to – Figure 7

WARNING!: Suspend the loudspeaker in accordance with local building codes and regulations. Use a licensed contractor or professional engineer. QSC Audio Products is not responsible for damages resulting from the negligent installation of suspension cabling, or loudspeaker.

The AcousticDesign loudspeakers (models AD-S8T, AD-S10T and AD-S12) may be suspended using the pull-back point and M10 eyebolts you install at the bottom of the enclosures.

NOTE: Suspending the enclosure woofer side up positions the HF closer to the listener and helps improve bass response when coupled against the ceiling and wall planes.

1. Remove 2 M10 plugs (not shown) from the bottom of the loudspeaker enclosure.
2. Install two M10-1.5 eyebolts (2) (accessory M10 Kit-C) in the M10 installation points on the bottom of the loudspeaker enclosure.
3. Attach an appropriate cable to the tether Safety Ring (3) for the pull-back point.

Yoke-mount the Loudspeaker

In addition to the mounting methods listed above, you can mount the loudspeaker using the optional Yoke mounting kit. Refer to instructions provided in the Yoke kit. See the "Specifications" on page 12 for information.

Install the Weather Cover (Optional)

Refer to – Figure 8

1. Slide the nut (1), compression gasket (2), and weather cover / gasket (3) over the wiring for the loudspeaker.
2. Terminate the wiring to the Euro-style connector, refer to "Wire the Loudspeaker" on page 6
3. Install the Euro-style connector.
4. Slide the weather cover/gasket (3) up next to the connection box, use a small amount of wire, inside the cover, to provide strain relief.
5. Attach the weather cover to the enclosure with four screws (supplied).
6. Slide the compression gasket (2) into the weather cover receptacle.
7. Slide the nut over the weather cover receptacle and tighten.

Wire the Loudspeaker

Use up to 12 gage wiring as appropriate. Refer to — Figure 9.

1. If you are using the optional weather cover, make sure the wiring is inserted through all three parts of the weather cover in the proper order.
2. Install the negative and positive wires in the "Input" +/- as shown. Tighten the wire-clamp screws.
3. Install the daisy-chaining wires into the "Thru" +/- as shown. These wires go to the next loudspeaker in the daisy-chain.

Remove the Loudspeaker

1. Make sure all the wiring is disconnected, and the safety tether is removed.
2. If the security tab, located at the base of the loudspeaker mount, has NOT been removed, push the tab in and slide the loudspeaker in the opposite direction of how it was installed.
3. If the security tab has been removed, re-insert it, or use a small rod (<4 mm / 0.16") to push in and release the mount lock.
