Installed Sound

More than ever, installed sound design and systems integration requires components that deliver rugged, fail-safe dependability. Customers expect levels of sound quality, flexibility and convenience that seemed impossible just a few years ago. QSC is there with an ever more comprehensive product line that gets the job done quickly, done thoroughly, and done right.

Integrated Solutions
It all started with the world's greatest power amplifiers, which served as the basis for what has grown into the industry's most ingenious yet cohesive product line: DSP. Networking. Remote Control/Monitoring. Loudspeakers.

Every QSC product is engineered and manufactured to the highest standards. But that's not enough. Every QSC product is also painstakingly designed to stand proudly on its own or to be teamed with any of its siblings to form a tight, cohesive and functional system.

  Yet all of this would be meaningless without addressing the crucial aspect of reliability. It's why every QSC product is built to withstand not just the test of time, but the world's most demanding installed sound applications.

The final piece of the puzzle is renowned QSC support, consistently at the top of the charts with system contractors. Every project presents unique aspects, but working with the people and products of QSC ensures the optimum solution every time.

"We can buy products from any company, but when we come to QSC, we buy an experience."
Michael Garrison
Michael Garrison Associates, Springfield, MO



"The system is designed to be an integral
part of the décor. The owners' request was to create a first-class system specifically for this environment, both sonically and visually, and with the QSC system, we have achieved that."

Vladimir Samberger
Prodance Light and SOund, Prague, Czech Republic



"The look of the loudspeakers had to be congruent with the room. The Sugar Bar is definitely not the kind of place where you want to see big cabinets hanging in your face. By selecting QSC loudspeakers, we left the aesthetics undisturbed, yet still provided the punch and quality needed."

Eddie Decker
