Cinema Mid-High Loudspeaker System User Manual
MH-1063
10” (254mm) mid, 2.5” (63mm) compression driver
MH-1075
10” (254mm) mid, 3.0” (75mm) compression driver
Introduction
The MH-1063 and MH-1075 “mid-high packs” provide the mid and high frequency
components of three-way screen channel loudspeaker systems for high performance
cinema applications. They were designed to operate with and be directly mounted on
QSC’s cinema low frequency enclosures.
Mid frequencies are reproduced with a 10” (254mm) high-efficiency, phase-ring
loaded driver mounted on a custom designed cinema horn. The high-frequency driver
is a large format, 2.5” (63mm, MH-1063) or 3.0” (75mm, MH-1075) titanium dia-
phragm compression driver mounted on a custom high-frequency cinema horn. The
high frequency horn is a low-distortion waveguide providing highly articulate dialogue
without coloration associated with conventional horn loudspeakers. Both horns fea-
ture broad horizontal and vertical coverage angles to ensure coverage of every seat in
the auditorium. The driver assemblies are mounted on an adjustable pan and tilt
bracket that has an integral aiming sight, simplifying installation.
The MH-1063 and MH-1075 loudspeakers include a driver protection and crossover
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 an 18dB/octave crossover seamlessly
blends the high and mid frequency elements. Outboard processing is required to form
the crossover between the LF and MH loudspeakers.
Bi-amp or tri-amp operation is possible using a selector switch mounted on the con-
nections panel. The bi-amp setting provides a passive crossover network between mid
and high drivers. Separate amplifiers and an active crossover are required for the low
frequency channel and the mid-high channel. Tri-amp setting disables the internal
mid-high crossover and each driver is driven independently by its own amplifier and
active crossover; one for the low, one for the mid, and one for the high frequencies.
The MH-1063 and MH-1075 components come pre-assembled to reduce field assem-
bly time. Three bolts are all that are required to secure the mid-high assembly to the
top of a QSC low frequency enclosure.
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, trans-
ducers, 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.
