Developed specifically for the unique requirements of professional motion picture playback, the SC-322 extends QSC's commitment to the cinema market. As a member of the DCS Digital Cinema Speaker Series, the SC-322 is a two-way, bi-amplified screen channel loudspeaker system comprised of two main units—the HF-63 high-frequency system and the LF-3215 low-frequency system.

The HF-63 high-frequency system features a 2.5" (63mm) titanium diaphragm compression driver mounted on a custom designed high-frequency cinema horn with an adjustable pan and tilt bracket. The HF-63 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 overpowering 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 LF-3215 dual 15" (381mm) low- frequency enclosure is designed specifically to address the extended low-frequency response required for cinema applications.

The LF-3215 covers the frequency range from 35 Hz to 1000 Hz, depending upon the high-frequency system requirements. Close Coupled Woofers (CCW), with their tight spacing between woofers, improves coupling and keeps coverage angles wide over a greater frequency range than more widely spaced designs.

The SC-322 is designed for ease of installation. The HF-63 components come pre-assembled to reduce field assembly time. Three bolts are all that are required to secure the HF-63 to the top of the LF-3215 enclosure.

HF-63 High Frequency Component

Introduction

The HF-63 is the high frequency component of two-way, biamplified screen channel loudspeaker systems for high performance cinema applications. It was designed to operate with and be directly mounted on QSC's LF-3115 or LF-3215 cinema woofer.

The HF-63 high-frequency system features a large format, 2.5" (63.5mm) titanium diaphragm compression driver mounted on a custom designed high-frequency 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 coloration associated with conventional horn loudspeakers.

The HF-63 includes a driver protection and equalization network to assure reliable operation. DC blocking capacitors protect against DC or low-frequency signals that could damage 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. Outboard processing is required, however, as the response correction filter is not a crossover.

The HF-63 components come pre-assembled to reduce field assembly time. Three bolts are all that are required to secure the HF-63 to the top of a QSC low frequency enclosure.

Mounting

Refer to the illustration for mounting information. The HF-63 attaches to the top of the LF-3115 or LF-3215 with three 5/16-18 bolts, 0.75" long, with lock washers. This hardware ships installed on the low frequency cabinet. 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.

Connections

HF INPUT Terminals

The HF-63 has barrier strip screw terminals that accept up to #10 AWG (5.3mm ^2 ) stranded loudspeaker wire. Connect the amplifier's high frequency output signal to the loudspeaker's HF INPUT terminals. Observe proper polarity; amplifier's + signal to loudspeaker + HF INPUT, amplifier's - signal to loudspeaker - HF INPUT. Use the largest wire size and shortest wire length for the application.

NOTE! Maintain proper loudspeaker connection polarity throughout the entire system for maximum performance. Do not apply full range signal to the HF-63! There is no crossover in the HF-63, only an equalization and protection network. All required signal processing must be done before the signal is applied to the HF-63.

HF OUTPUT Terminals

The HF OUTPUT terminals are factory-connected to the compression driver. These terminals should ONLY be connected to the HF-63's compression driver.

LF-3215 Low Frequency Loudspeaker

Introduction

The LF-3215 dual 15" (381mm) low frequency enclosure is designed specifically for cinema applications. Meeting cinema requirements for extended low frequency response differentiates the LF-3215 from more conventional "rock-and-roll" woofer systems. The LF-3215 covers the frequency range from 32 Hertz to 1500 Hertz, depending upon the high frequency system requirements. With its tight spacing between woofers, the LF-3215 offers improved coupling and keeps coverage angles wide over a greater frequency range than more widely spaced designs.

The 300 watt, 15" transducers are well suited for cinema use. They feature 3" (76mm) voice coils, 120 oz.(3.4kg) ceramic magnets, and vented pole pieces to ensure cool operation. Cooler temperatures increase transducer lifespan and decrease the problem of power compression at high power levels. The suspension and voice coil of each transducer have been designed to provide low distortion and high impact bass at high power levels.

The enclosure is constructed of high quality medium density fiberboard panels with stiffening braces on all panels and features separate woofer chambers. This prevents over-excursion of a transducer caused by improper box loading in the rare event of a transducer failure. The eight stiffening braces reduce panel resonance.

Both internal and external port openings are fully radiused ensuring smooth air flow at high power. This prevents audible port turbulence noise.

With symmetrical port loading, bass ports are evenly spaced on each side of the transducers, 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 levels.

Three T-nuts in the top of the enclosure provide easy mounting of QSC's HF-63 high frequency system, or MH-1063 mid-high frequency 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.
