Introduction
The CSM Series of stage monitors is a very low profile, high output wedge speaker that provides the highest output to size ratio of any premium
brand. These high performance speakers use a high power, 3" neodymium magnet compression driver, coupled with a 4" voice coil woofer on the
CSM12 and CSM15 and a 3" voice coil woofer on the CSM10. The CSM series features a selectable pattern control “shutter” system that by opening
the shutter, converts the vertical coverage to an asymmetrical pattern of +45° and -75° relative to the baffle, while maintaining a nominal 50° pattern
in the horizontal. As a result, the user is able to limit the amount of sonic HF energy spilling over into the audience, while increasing its upstage
coverage angle.
In addition, the CSM Series features integral hardware that provides up to an additional 15° (in 1° increments) of angle to the enclosure as well as a
recessed connector pocket that allows the user to dress the cable a full 360° in any direction.
Signal Processing
The CSM Series is designed as a “Best in Class” stage monitor system package. The amazing performance of the CSM models is a result of extensive
and sophisticated application of digital signal processing. The algorithms have been developed using QSC processing products and can not be readily
replicated on other DSP platforms. In order to enjoy all the performance that your QSC CSM speakers can deliver, it is important to use the correct
QSC signal processors loaded with the appropriate processing settings. Visit the Support section of the QSC website (www.qscaudio.com) and navigate
to “Technical Support” - “Software Downloads” to obtain the correct settings for your monitor model, QSC processor and application. Note that
application specific settings for full-range, bi-amp, stage monitor and utility applications are available.
QSC will, from time to time introduce new digital signal processing platforms so check the “CSM Series” section of the QSC website for the latest
processor recommendations.
