The Netherlands - The QB242 arrayable subwoofer is a modular bass element designed for use in both permanent and (limited) portable applications. It is designed as a fully-scalable low-frequency extension (LFE) system to the QR24 line-source column system, or as arrayable LFE system with any Alcons pro-ribbon system.
The QB242 can be stacked or flown in multiples, making it a building block to form bass arrays, for obtaining low frequency projection and throw control in acoustically challenging spaces or over longer distances.
The controlled (cylindrical) projection of the QR24 can thus be extended down to the lower frequencies by enlarging the LFE array length through adding extra QB242 modules. The lowest usable frequency of one single element is 35Hz.
The Q-systems are suitable for applications where a high directivity and/or a very long throw is required, com
