About Lowell Manufacturing IM12Q-3SW

Enhance your audio experience with the IM12Q-3SW Speaker System, a high-performance, ready-to-install loudspeaker designed for suspended installations. This system is the perfect audio solution for venues that demand clear, powerful sound, such as clubs, bars, sporting facilities, concourses, hotel ballrooms, and exhibit halls.

The centerpiece of this system is the 12Q250 driver, a 12-inch, 250-watt powerhouse with an 8-ohm impedance, engineered to deliver robust, high-quality sound. The driver's motor structure is fortified with a hefty 77 oz. magnet and a 4-inch edge-wound aluminum voice coil, ensuring reliable and efficient performance even in high-energy environments.

Complementing the low-frequency driver is a 5.3-inch mylar dome tweeter, which boasts a 42 oz. magnet and a 1.75-inch voice coil. This combination provides an exceptional balance of power handling and efficiency, making it ideal for delivering crisp, clear high frequencies.

A built-in crossover network with fourth-order high-pass and fourth-order low-pass filters ensures precise frequency division between the two drivers, resulting in a seamless audio blend. The driver frame is constructed from cast aluminum with a black corrosion-resistant finish, and a protective steel plate is mounted over the driver to safeguard it during shipping and installation. This plate can be easily removed when it's time to mount the stylish white grille.

The grille itself is a square perforated steel design with a white powder epoxy finish, adding a stylish and discreet touch to any ceiling, whether it's tile, sheetrock, or plaster. Measuring 15.25 inches square and 0.375 inches deep, the grille is as durable as it is elegant.

Encasing the driver is a 3 cubic foot precision-formed steel enclosure, measuring 23.94 x 18.19 x 12 inches. It features anti-vibration ribs and a sound-stop board, along with 1-1/2-inch thick premium acoustic lining to minimize sound leakage and enhance audio clarity. Forged 1/4"-20 eyebolts screwed into mounting nuts ensure a secure suspended installation, ready for flyware provided by others. The enclosure's black powder epoxy finish complements any professional setting, while externally accessible connections are neatly terminated through a 4" x 4" flush cover plate.

Choose the IM12Q-3SW Speaker System for a durable, high-quality, and efficient audio solution that is as reliable as it is stylish, backed by the reputation of Lowell Manufacturing, a leader in audio equipment. This system is specifically designed to elevate the sound experience in any space, providing even sound distribution that only ceiling-suspended speakers can offer.
