Q-SYS SC-423C Bi or Tri-Amp 3-Way 2x15-inch Cinema Loudspeaker System with LF-4215 and MH-1075C

Developed specifically for the unique requirements of professional motion picture playback, the QSC SC-423C extends QSC’s commitment to the cinema market.

As a member of the DCS Digital Cinema Speaker Series, the SC-423C is a 3-way, selectable bi-or tri-amplified screen channel loudspeaker system comprised of two main units—the MH-1075C mid-high frequency system and the LF-4215 low-frequency system.

The MH-1075C mid-high system features a high output, horn-loaded 10" midrange cone driver and a 3" (75mm) titanium diaphragm compression driver mounted to an adjustable pan and tilt bracket. It includes a driver protection network and a passive crossover for bi-amp operation. Power limiter circuitry protects the high-frequency driver from overpowering. The MH-1075C provides extended frequency coverage for the critical midrange band, with a high-power 10" cone driver allowing operation as low as 250 Hz and advanced phase plug coupling, which enables a crossover point of up to 1800 Hz to the high-frequency horn. This ensures that most of the dialog range is reproduced by a single element, offering unmatched intelligibility.

The LF-4215 dual 15" (381mm) low-frequency enclosure is designed to address the extended low-frequency response required for cinema applications. The LF-4215 covers the frequency range from 35 Hz to 250 Hz. Close Coupled Woofers (CCW), with tight spacing between woofers, improve coupling and maintain wide coverage angles over a greater frequency range than more widely spaced designs.

The SC-423C is designed for ease of installation. The MH-1075C components come pre-assembled to reduce field assembly time, and only three bolts are required to secure the MH-1075C to the top of the LF-4215 enclosure.
