QSC Audio AP-5102 User Manual

Page of 5
The QSC AcousticPerformance™ AP-5102 
is a professional, two-way, fullrange 
loudspeaker ideal for a variety of installed 
sound reinforcement applications requiring 
high power, wide coverage and compact 
size. The AP-5102 uses a high power-
capacity, 76mm (3-inch) diaphragm 
compression driver and combines it with 
a 254mm (10-inch) woofer to deliver 
exceptional full bandwidth reproduction. 
The uniform power-response of the  
AP-5102 loudspeaker is a result of 
DMT™ (Directivity Matched Transition), a 
design approach that matches LF and HF 
coverage in the cross-over region. Another 
key to the extraordinary accuracy and flat 
power response of the AP-5102 is the 
axisymetric waveguide with uncompromised 
performance in both the vertical and 
horizontal axes. The result is remarkably 
consistent coverage and smooth, accurate 
reproduction on and off-axis. 
The AP-5102 may be used as a passive (full-
range) loudspeaker to minimize amplifier 
channel count or it may be bi-amplified for 
greater control and performance. To further 
enhance performance, bi-amp and full-
range tunings using QSC Intrinsic Correction 
techniques are available for Q-Sys and future 
QSC products. 
The AP-5102 enclosure features M10 
mounting points for suspension via eye- 
bolts as well as mount points for an  
optional yoke bracket. 
Presenting a clean, unobtrusive look, 
AcousticPerformance grilles are unadorned 
eliminating the need to cover-up logo 
treatments which can be difficult to hide 
or remove. The grille is also lined with 
acoustically transparent backing adding to 
the enclosure’s professional appearance. The 
AP-5102 is available in black (RAL 9011), 
and white (RAL 9010) finishes. 
To minimize impact and disposal fees at the 
job site, all AcousticPerformance loudspeakers 
are packaged in environmentally friendly, 
recyclable cartons.
