General Description

The QM700 is a passive two way bass 
reflex design speaker suitable for mobile or 
installation use . The design characteristics of 
the QM700 make it suitable suitable as a high 
powered fold-back monitor, full range front of 
house or as the high-mid component of a multi 
way system with sub-bass enhancement .

Fold-back Monitors as Mirrored Pairs 

The QM700 is available as mirrored pairs which 
is a great aid for minimising interferences 
effect when the QM700 is used as a large stage 
monitor . (See section on Fold-back monitor 
technique) .

The new generation high frequency transducer 
is matched to a rotatable asymmetrical wave 
guide that can be rotated through 270 degrees 
for horizontal, vertical or fold-back monitor 
installation .

The asymmetrical coverage allows the horn to 
achieve both long throw performance and wide 
angle close coverage without “hot zones” or 
adding to unnecessary room reflections that 
can degrade vocal intelligibility . The unit can be 
used in a stand alone configuration or as part 
of a system coupled with any Quest sub-bass 
system . When used in conjunction with these 
devices, the QM700 will form part of a high 
performance  multi way audio system .

Installation

Temporary installation is possible with the 
35mm floor stand mounting in the base of 
the enclosure . Fold-back installation can give 
extra uniform stage coverage by rotating the 
horn flare to the “fold-back” position . 

Five M10 thread inserts are located on 
the top, sides and one under the QM700 
enclosure . These are intended to be used with 
the WB700 wall bracket . 

QM Range Accessories 

Two optional accessories are available for the 
QM700:

• WB 700  Wall bracket kit
• QB 700 Protective transit cover

Functional Design

The QM700 casing features an asymmetrical 
horizontal angle along one side which makes 
it suitable for use as a stage\foldback wedge 
when laid flat .

Solid Build Construction

The QM700 is well suited to all professional 
applications . The casing is specially 
formulated to withstand demanding use 
and the heavy gauge power-coated steel 
grill ensures the driver and horn are always 
protected . 

WARNING

Flying the box from one insert must not be attempted! 
Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death .
