  • 3-Way Bi-Amplified Architecture Separates LF And Mid-High Signal Paths For Precise Control
  • Single 10" Midrange Element Covers The Full Dialog Band For Unmatched Vocal Intelligibility
  • Adjustable Pan And Tilt Bracket On MH-1060 Enables Precise Aim Without Additional Hardware
  • Pre-Assembled MH-1060 Module Reduces Field Assembly To A Three-Bolt Installation
  • Shallow Cabinet Depth Simplifies Behind-Screen Placement In Tight Cinema Bays
  • Quasi B4 Ported LF Enclosure With Symmetrical Flared Ports Extends Low-Frequency Output
  • Vandal-Resistant Woofer Mounting Bolts Protect LF-2215 Transducers In High-Traffic Installs

The SC-223 is engineered exclusively for professional motion picture exhibition, addressing the acoustic demands that general-purpose PA systems cannot meet. Part of Q-SYS's DCS Digital Cinema Speaker Series, it combines the MH-1060 mid-high module and the LF-2215 dual 15-inch low-frequency enclosure into a 3-way bi-amplified system capable of covering 37 Hz to 16 kHz. This makes it a direct solution for cinema system designers and integrators who need a screen channel loudspeaker that can handle both the subterranean low-end of modern soundtracks and the critical dialog intelligibility range without compromise.

The MH-1060 centers its design around a horn-loaded 10-inch midrange cone driver and a 2.4-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver. By running the 10-inch cone from 300 Hz up to the 2200 Hz HF crossover point, the system ensures that virtually the entire dialog band is reproduced by a single transducer element — a meaningful advantage in auditoriums where intelligibility is the primary performance metric. The adjustable pan and tilt bracket gives integrators precise aim control without additional hardware. The LF-2215's quasi B4 ported enclosure, tuned to 36 Hz with symmetrical flared ports and heavily braced MDF construction, delivers the extended bass extension that cinema content demands, reaching down to 35 Hz in application.

Installation efficiency is built into the system architecture. The MH-1060 arrives pre-assembled, requiring only three bolts to mount to the top of the LF-2215 cabinet. The 20-inch shallow depth eases behind-screen placement in tight screen channel bays, and barrier strip screw terminals on both sections accept up to #10 AWG stranded wire for straightforward field wiring. Integrators targeting THX or SMPTE-aligned cinema system builds will find the SC-223's bi-amp topology and QSC processor-compatible crossover recommendations well-suited to structured, reference-grade playback environments.
