QSC AD-S162T & AD-S802T Column Loudspeakers
QSC has added the AD-S162T and AD-S802T column surface-mount loudspeakers to its AcousticDesign (AD)
Series, which are suitable for a variety of foreground and background applications and solve reverberant issues in
high-ceiling spaces.
The AD-S802T has eight 2.5-in. vertically-oriented drivers while the AD-S162T has 16 2.5-in. vertically-oriented
drivers. Both are 70/100 V or 8 ohm bypass, full-range systems. They come equipped with a pan/tilt mounting system
that offers multiple positioning locations, allowing the loudspeaker to remain close to the wall while offering the
flexibility to deliver up to a -20-deg ree downward tilt. This makes installation easier and reduces “live load” labour
time while on the ladder.
As part of the AcousticDesign Series, the new column surface-mount loudspeakers share a similar unobtrusive
design with the rest of the line, which allows them to blend with the aesthetics of any room. In addition, they
exhibit the same environmental qualities associated with all AcousticDesign surface-mount models, making them
ideal for indoor and outdoor usage.

Blue Raspberry Studio All-in-One
Mobile Recording System
Blue has released the Raspberry Studio all-in-one mobile recording system,
combining the company’s Raspberry USB microphone with custom recording
software from PreSonus and mastering software from iZotope.
Raspberry is a USB microphone for PC, Mac, and iOS that is designed to
deliver the clarity of studio microphones in a small, portable format. The con-
denser capsule is tuned to record up close or at tabletop distance. An Internal
Acoustic Diffuser (IAD) – similar to the acoustic treatments found in professional studios and concert halls – focuses on the voice or instrument
and minimizes environmental sounds by diffusing noise and reflections. The integrated stand minimizes contact with surfaces and isolates the
microphone from vibrations.
The PreSonus Studio One Artist Blue Microphones Edition recording software allows users to stack multiple instrument and vocal tracks to
create fully produced songs with a 32-bit audio engine. iZotope’s Ozone Elements is designed to make it easier to create final master mixes.

Radial Studio-Q Desktop Talk-Back/Cue System
Radial Engineering is now shipping the Studio-Q compact, desktop talk-back/cue system.
The Studio-Q features a simple cue switch that turns on the built-in microphone or the “producer” mic
XLR input. Each mic is equipped with an individual trim control along with a master mic volume. These can
also be remotely activated using a remote JR1 mute footswitch. Once depressed, the signal is routed to
the studio headphone system while it automatically shunts the program to the desired level. The program
signal path is balanced for easy integration with any console, and features a fully variable level control on
the front panel. When the band is full-on, a remote output may be used to send a dry contact to a beacon
to attract attention.
