The QSC Q-SYS PL-SUB15 is a high-performance 15-inch passive installation subwoofer designed to deliver powerful low-frequency reinforcement for professional AV environments. Its bass-reflex enclosure combines a 15-inch low-frequency transducer with a 4-inch voice coil for high-output performance in a compact installation-oriented design.
When deploying two or more PL-SUB15 subwoofers, Q-SYS allows selectable omnidirectional or cardioid radiation modes through Q-SYS processing. This provides greater flexibility for managing low-frequency coverage in entertainment venues, small sporting venues, corporate auditoriums, higher education facilities, and other professional installations.
The weatherized wooden enclosure provides IP54 protection for indoor and protected outdoor environments. The PL-SUB15 can be ground deployed or flown using its integrated M10 rigging points and is designed to integrate with Q-SYS CX-Q 8K4 network amplifiers for professional system processing and deployment.
