QSC Announces the Launch of Next Generation Active
Loudspeakers: L Class
L Class delivers its exceptional performance and extraordinary audio experience via high-output
amplification and an elegantly intuitive user interface.
QSC introduced L Class; the next generation of advanced, intelligent,
active
loudspeakers for applications ranging from simple, portable, plug-and-play setups, to demanding,
networked, high-tech AV productions and fixed installations.
The remarkable result of a deep understanding of customer needs and application requirements, L
Class delivers its exceptional performance and extraordinary audio experience via high-output
amplification, state-of-the-art DSP, premium components, extensive system intelligence and an
elegantly intuitive user interface. L Class also sets a new standard for ease of use, as its users
will be able to confidently configure and deploy any L Class system with unmatched speed and
reliability. Onboard Dante® connects L Class to networked AV systems and connected stages.
Meticulously developed with sound quality and expandability in mind, the new LA108 (two-way, 8 inch)
and LA112 (two-way, 12 inch) active line array loudspeakers are complemented by the LS118 (single 18
inch) active subwoofer, each offering a brilliant combination of leading-edge innovation and ease of
use.
Technical innovations abound in the LA108 and LA112, including the proprietary QSC LEAF
(Length-Equalized Acoustic Flare) waveguide, the ergonomically designed, single operator QSC
RapidDeploy rigging system, and QSC AWARE (Automatic Wireless Array Recognition) system
intelligence, which also provides one-button single box or full array intelligence and optimization.
The LS118 active subwoofer's on-board DSP further optimizes and protects system performance while
also offering advanced capabilities such as the ability to array two units in a cardioid
arrangement, maximizing low frequency output in front while minimizing unwanted energy around the
sides and rear of the system. DEEP mode provides additional low frequency extension and driver
excursion processing. All models feature QSC Acoustic Linear Phase (ALP) design, allowing cohesive
phase response when deployed with other QSC loudspeakers in a given environment.
Both line array loudspeakers can be deployed using dedicated array frames, ground-stacked (array
frame combined with optional sub-stack adapter) or mounted in one of two pole cups using loudspeaker
stands or poles of various lengths. The LS118 can be deployed in both horizontal and vertical
orientations in a ground-stack configuration or using one of its two pole receptacles.
All three models feature daisy-chain connections for analog and digital audio as well as AC power
(PowerCON TRUE1) and are backed by an industry-best global Six-Year Extended Warranty, with product
registration.
The QSC SysNav (System Navigator) App for Windows and iPadOS further enhances the L Class user
experience, providing the ability to easily design, configure, control, monitor and apply signal
processing to individual loudspeakers, full arrays or groupings of both. Additionally, the AIM
(Array Installation Modeling) prediction tool lets the user visualize array coverage by positioning
virtual loudspeakers and arrays in a scaled, graphical model of a venue or installation space.
"The innovations found in L Class are truly astonishing in their capacity to equip users at every
level of experience with the capability to achieve superior sonic performance quickly and easily,"
states David Angress, General Manager, QSC Pro Audio. "The ability to bring this quality of product
to market and make it accessible to a wide range of customers is remarkable, and if the early
reviews from key customers are any indication, L Class is destined to be another runaway success for
QSC and our channel partners everywhere."
