Description

QM1000 Overview

The compact QM1000/108 Flexi-System is a 

combination sub bass and satellite speaker 

system powered with three internal amplifiers 

and controlled from a master input module 

built into the QM1000 sub bass box. It has a 

number of operational modes for a variety of 

live and installed sound applications.

Multiple inputs 

This system is primarily a sub bass/satellite full 

range stereo system with the added advantage 

of two extra inputs. The amplifiers powering 

the satellite speakers can be accessed 

independently of the main signal stream. This 

means that a completely different signal stream 

such as fold-back mixes or a combination of 

fold-back and front of house mixes can be sent 

to the QM108 satellite speakers or substitute 

any other satellite speakers that the audio 

operator may wish to use.

Three Systems in one box

This flexibility means that the QM1000 

bass module can be utilised as the bass 

reinforcement to any conventional powered 

full range speaker system and the satellite 

speakers can be used as fold-back monitors 

with 2 channels of independent fold-back 

mix. It is also possible to substitute any of 

the other Q-motion series multipurpose 

fold-back/front-of-house monitors for the 

QM-108 speakers to give the maximum in 

flexible audio. One show this can be a sub/

satellite system and with the flick of a switch, 

it becomes a powerful sub bass + 2 fold-

back channels system with the capability of 

connecting 4 x fold-back monitors.  

(See QM10/12DC)

QM 108 Satellite speaker

The QM108 is a compact 2-way 8-ohm 

trapezoid full range speaker intended for 

use with the QM1000 Flexi-System package. 

It is also very good as a stand alone timber 

installation speaker for voice and music 

reproduction. The cast frame 8” mid bass and 

20mm exit horn loaded HF driver are tuned 

for maximum vocal clarity and projection. 

The power handling capacity of the QM108 

is well over 170 watts RMS and has internal 

protection plus the added limiter protection 

of the QM1000 amplifiers. The QM108 can be 

pole mounted on a 35mm speaker stand or 

wall mounted with a dedicated wall bracket.
