Quest - HPI110 - 10" Passive Cabinet that is GREAT for Vocals.
Quest Engineering$3,737.99Compact High-definition Loudspeaker Either mobile live sound or permanent installation; the HPI110 is a lightweight high powered compact speaker system that has a number of key technical innovations to improve performance in real venue environments. Most venues potentially degrade the performance of standard sound systems regardless of the quality. The HPI110 can be installed as a single element or as part of an array of up to three elements. Everything about the HPI110 shows a design aimed at functionality in the real world. A Closer Look Functionality in the real world is what separates the HPI110 from the rest of the field. Have a bad sounding venue space? You need the HPI110. One consistent problem in reproducing intelligible voice in a venue is the degrading effect of wall and ceiling reflections. When a listener hears more sound from the reflected (reverberant) field than the primary sound system, loss of speech intelligibility results. This location in the room is known as "beyond the critical distance". The HPI system extends the "critical distance" by utilising a custom HF wave guide to direct the sound away from the walls and ceiling and into the listener area. The HPI110 mid-high asymmetrical wave guide provides 60 degrees horizontal dispersion at the base of the flare and 30 degrees at the top. Vertical dispersion above the box is limited to 15 degrees. A large format HF driver allows for a relatively low cross-over frequency and this means more control over a wider frequency area. The HPI110 is available in black (HPI110) or white (HPI110W) low sheen finish. Rigging & Accessories To get the best from the HPI110, the QR rigging system allows installation from a single box to three box arrays. With an array of three HPI110 speakers weighing in at 47kg, it's one of the most light-weight yet high powered systems in the world. This is particularly important if installation is required in a heritage building or an existing space with weight restrictions. The rigging system is progressive with its "top spine hanging bracket" system for single speaker systems, QR2 wall bracket, QR3/4 for flown installations and a U bracket that can be direct wall or truss mounted. Permanent or Portable The HPI110 is at home on the road. The lightweight ergonomic design makes it ideal for portable mobile audio. A pair of HPI110 boxes on a "T" piece can be located on a sub bass box with a conventional speaker pole for mobile full range sound. The high power handling and projection characteristics mean a two box array can push a lot of high SPL audio into a medium sized venue space. The long throw characteristics of the system can deliver a surprisingly coherent result at 48 metres, which is outstanding for such a physically small speaker system. In its most basic form, no system controller or complex system correction electronics is needed to get great sonic results from the HPI110. Just plug it on and play. With lightweight, high power and system scalability, the HPI110 is a truly versatile system. Putting Energy Where it's Needed Quest has refined the technical art of " asymmetrical audio projection" for the HPI110/111 loudspeakers ? Locating the sound where the audience is, and not to the walls and ceilings. The result is high intelligibility vocal imaging in reverberant venues. Whether an array or single box system, installation is simple and functional. The benefits of Quest asymmetrical projection ? Get higher vocal intelligibility The acoustic energy is directed to where you want it (the audience), and not to the reflective surfaces around the room. The nature of the asymmetrical projection is a more efficient use of the energy. Consonant sounds are not drowned out by reverberant energy. The sound coverage and vocal image is more uniform throughout the listening area and high frequency component is less likely to ?fall off? over distance. Power Me Up The HPI110 can take serious power by any standard. Quest Engineering recommends an amplifier capable of delivering 480-720W (nominal) to ensure full performance. The perfect solution are Quest's QA3004 or the new QX4500. Specifications Rec Amplifier 480 - 720W Nom.

Quest - HPI111 - 10" All-round speaker for Vocals and Music.
Quest Engineering$3,012.99Compact High-definition Loudspeaker The HPI111 is a medium to high powered 90 degree dispersion compact speaker system designed to project voice and music throughout mid sized performance venues. It can be hung in small arrays or function as a stand alone speaker system in mobile PA production with or without sub bass enhancement. Contained within the discrete HPI111 appearance there are a number of key technical innovations to improve performance in real venue environments. A Closer Look The HPI111 system is comprised of a single 1" 90 degree asymmetrical wave guide and one 10" high powered woofer. The HF can be rotated to deliver optimum coverage in both vertical and horizontal installations. This makes the HPI111 very function in a wide variety of installation environments for both vertical and horizontal installation. The HPI111 is the perfect candidate for a myriad of applications including performing arts centres, houses of worship, corporate theatres and venue environments where mid level SPL coupled with high definition vocal reproduction is required. The HPI111 is available in black (HPI111) or white (HPI111W) low sheen finish. Rigging & Accessories To get the best from the HPI111 system, the multi-purpose light weight QR flying/installation system extends the range of installation options. The rigging system is progressive with its "single box top spine hanging bracket" system for single speaker systems, progressing to QR2 pan tilt wall bracket and QR3 two box hang. A QR Series U bracket is also available for single box horizontal installation. The QR3 hanging plate has multiple splay angle options to allow precise horizontal dispersion control. Thanks to the 90 degree dispersion of the of the HPI 111, the QR3 hanging bracket suspending two HPI111 boxes can cover a full 180 degrees. Perfect for Unfriendly Environments Bearing in mind most venue architecture is inclined to degrade the performance of standard sound systems. A common problem in many venues is reproducing intelligible voice. The degrading effect of wall and ceiling reflections causes loss of speech intelligibility. The location in a room where the reflections are approaching the level of the sound system is known as "the critical distance". The HPI111 system extends the "critical distance" by utilizing a custom HF wave guide. The design of the asymmetrical HF wave guide is such that it directs the sound away from the walls and ceiling. Sound is directed only where it is needed and away from the reflective surfaces of the venue. The result is exceptional vocal clarity and control over the dispersion area.

Quest - HPI8i - 8" Multi-purpose 2-way Passive Speaker
Quest Engineering$1,762.99Multi-purpose 2-way Passive Speaker The HPI8i is a compact full frequency range multi-purpose 2-way passive speaker system designed for live sound and permanent installation. Priority in the design is focused towards strong voice projection capability in medium to larger venue spaces and the HPI8i can be installed as a complementary element to the HPI111 and HPI110 installation. It is suited to front-of house sound for mid to long throw applications in both stand-alone applications, as part of a small array or distributed system and can be installed in vertical or horizontal configurations. A Closer Look A little box with big potential, the HPI8i has a number of features designed to increase performance and versatility for a professional sound installation environment. A key feature is the Quest designed asymmetrical high frequency wave guide. This feature helps lower the reverberant problems in many venue environments that degrade voice intelligibility, by focusing the sound to where it is needed and away from walls and ceilings. The result is a speaker that sounds much bigger than it appears. This is highly beneficial when sightlines and venue architectural requirement demand discrete low profile audio and high output. Asymmetrical Rotation The 90 degree wave-guide has a horizontal dispersion of 90 degrees at the base of the flare and 45 degrees at the top. Vertical dispersion is 15 degrees above horizontal and 45 degrees below. This effectively gives a wide HF energy dispersion in a close fill application and beams to the far field. Great for eliminating "hot spots" close to the speaker while still delivering great projection across a large floor area. The wave guide can be rotated 90 degrees allowing for horizontal box installation and a great benefit for venues with low ceilings that previously would have required delay speakers to achieve the coverage. Designed to Work Hard The HPI8i casing is birch ply and threaded inserts for installation in a number of options. The parallel speaker inputs are recessed to aid in a tidy installation and the casing also has a convenient carry handle and tough steel grill. Rigging options include the QR2 pan tilt wall bracket with an optional HPI8i installation spine or pole mount option through the 35mm pole hole.

Quest - MX601 - 6" High-Fidelity Weatherproof Loudspeakers - Black
Quest Engineering$580.99MX601 Monitors High-Fidelity Weatherproof Loudspeakers MX601- [6" x 1"- 80W] Not just another new speaker range, the MX Series is a system of audio building blocks that allows architects and venue designers to create a seamless full range audio presence, without compromising on aesthetics. The range is based around a 6" or 8", two-way, full range, wall or ceiling mountable loudspeaker and can be augmented with a very compact subwoofer system. Ceiling speaker versions are also available. The Ultra-compact MX601 and MX801 loudspeakers are very low profile and feature Hi-Fi quality audio reproduction, withstand direct all-weather environments, and include an installation friendly mounting system that is both elegant and practical. Revealing Details The objective for the Engineers of the MX Series Indoor/Outdoor line-up was to take the compact wall mount speaker to a new standard of performance. This meant consulting with a wide range of venue and public space designers to determine what is needed in a modern designed architectural space. To achieve the desired outcomes a completely new approach to the design was required, both technically for the audio performance, and in developing new manufacturing techniques. The result is a refined appearance that fits visually into any environment, reproduces Hi-Fi quality music and speech; and is easy to install. The MX Series are small in size considering the SPL output and frequency response they are capable of delivering. The housings are shaped and finished to reflect light in a way that helps them blend in visually with modern architectural styles. To achieve the very small physical size, a completely new type of woofer design was required. A conventional woofer would not fit in the intended space or deliver the bass response required in a sealed enclosure. Quest has designed a new type of driver and also incorporated a passive resonance circuit that simulates the action of a reflex port. This means an 8" driver can function at full capacity within a cabinet space that would normally be suited for a 6? driver. As a result of this, and the sealed enclosure design, the MX Series can be environmentally rated up to IP67. For use outdoor installation, addition of the optional IPMX1 kit for electrical connection weather protection is recommended. This IP rating opens up new avenues for system design and placement the opportunities are endless. The MX Series is available in black (MX601 / MX801) or white (MX601W / MX801W) finished in clear low sheen finish. Q-Mount UB1 Mounting System Wall mounting is made easy with the patented Q- Mount UB1 wall mounting system. The UB1 included with both the MX601 and MX801 is a pan/tilt system that is based around a 10 degree locking ball and socket joint. This allows for precise directivity control at uniform angles. The locking mechanism requires no tools and is high strength with no capacity to slip over time.

Quest - MX601W - 6" High-Fidelity Weatherproof Loudspeakers - White
Quest Engineering$580.99MX601 Monitors High-Fidelity Weatherproof Loudspeakers MX601- [6" x 1"- 80W] Not just another new speaker range, the MX Series is a system of audio building blocks that allows architects and venue designers to create a seamless full range audio presence, without compromising on aesthetics. The range is based around a 6" or 8", two-way, full range, wall or ceiling mountable loudspeaker and can be augmented with a very compact subwoofer system. Ceiling speaker versions are also available. The Ultra-compact MX601 and MX801 loudspeakers are very low profile and feature Hi-Fi quality audio reproduction, withstand direct all-weather environments, and include an installation friendly mounting system that is both elegant and practical. Revealing Details The objective for the Engineers of the MX Series Indoor/Outdoor line-up was to take the compact wall mount speaker to a new standard of performance. This meant consulting with a wide range of venue and public space designers to determine what is needed in a modern designed architectural space. To achieve the desired outcomes a completely new approach to the design was required, both technically for the audio performance, and in developing new manufacturing techniques. The result is a refined appearance that fits visually into any environment, reproduces Hi-Fi quality music and speech; and is easy to install. The MX Series are small in size considering the SPL output and frequency response they are capable of delivering. The housings are shaped and finished to reflect light in a way that helps them blend in visually with modern architectural styles. To achieve the very small physical size, a completely new type of woofer design was required. A conventional woofer would not fit in the intended space or deliver the bass response required in a sealed enclosure. Quest has designed a new type of driver and also incorporated a passive resonance circuit that simulates the action of a reflex port. This means an 8" driver can function at full capacity within a cabinet space that would normally be suited for a 6? driver. As a result of this, and the sealed enclosure design, the MX Series can be environmentally rated up to IP67. For use outdoor installation, addition of the optional IPMX1 kit for electrical connection weather protection is recommended. This IP rating opens up new avenues for system design and placement the opportunities are endless. The MX Series is available in black (MX601 / MX801) or white (MX601W / MX801W) finished in clear low sheen finish. Q-Mount UB1 Mounting System Wall mounting is made easy with the patented Q- Mount UB1 wall mounting system. The UB1 included with both the MX601 and MX801 is a pan/tilt system that is based around a 10 degree locking ball and socket joint. This allows for precise directivity control at uniform angles.

Quest - MX6CW - 6" High-Fidelity Ceiling Monitors
Quest Engineering$479.99MXC601 High-Fidelity Ceiling Monitors MXC601 [6" x 1"- 80W] The MXC601 is designed to be a ceiling mount version of the MX wall speaker series. The MX series is a system of audio building blocks that allows architects and venue designers to create a seamless full range audio. The MXC601 can be integrated as part of an MX601 installation and give the same sonic performance in a series or parallel wiring to the MX601 wall speakers. The MXC601 can give extended full range audio coverage when the compact MX10S sub bass is added. The MXC601 can be wired as a 16Ω low impedance speaker or a 70/100 volt installation with selectable wattage tapings and is also available in a black grill option (MXC601B). A Closer look The objective for the designers of the MXC601 was to give the same performance of a high quality wall mount system in a ceiling speaker format. The appearance of the installed speaker is clean and fits in well with the modern trend of minimal visual distraction. The magnetic grill design means that there is a very neat finish to the finished installation. The result is a refined appearance that fits visually into any environment, high fidelity music and speech in a package that is easy to install and set up. The MXC601 is a premium quality ceiling speaker with a wide range of installation and wiring possibilities. As a 16Ω loudspeaker up to four units can be connected to achieve a 4Ω load to an amplifier. This allows for up to eight speakers to be connected to a stereo amplifier with the result being a very high fidelity distributed system. Multiple 70/100 volt tapings and also an EQ contour can be selected from the front baffle of an installed speaker. This allows for fine tuning after installation if desired. The aluminium fire resistant casing is acoustically damped and contains a suspension ring on the top of the casing for hanging installation or strain relief. The drivers and internal electronics are identical to the MX601. Like the MX601, The MXC contains a completely new type of woofer design. Quest has designed this new type of driver and incorporated a passive resonance circuit that simulates the action of a reflex port but with a more extended frequency range. The lightweight of the cabinet and neodymium magnet components mean that the weight stress on ceiling tiles is low and reinforcing bars are not required.

Quest - MXS10i - 10" Compact, Concealable Subwoofer
Quest Engineering$1,160.99MXS10i Compact, Concealable Subwoofer Extended range bass, and easy to conceal. The MXS10 coupled with MX or MXC loudspeakers provides a complete, full-range audio solution. One which architects and venue designers have long been waiting for. The MXS10 is a suitable low/mid sound pressure level subwoofer for use in permanent installation environments. It is ideal as a bass extension to a distributed background music system, or as a multi-unit system in a bar or music venue. The "punchy", yet smooth performance of the MXS10 is delivered via the custom 10" 50mm Voice Coil - Dual Magnet Woofer. A decision early on in the design phase was made to build a custom driver to suit the application specific requirements of the MXS10…the result speaks for itself. A Closer Look This unique band-pass subwoofer is specifically tuned for music playback in small to medium size venues. However, despite its small size, the MXS10 delivers high output and efficiency. The tuning and performance will match or exceed many physically larger systems. An outward facing driver is located under the cabinet to acoustically pressure load the unit onto a floor/wall, or ceiling installation surface; creating an ‘acoustic chamber’ effect. This extends the workable frequency range of the subwoofer, and gives a flatter and more natural response. Integrating discrete full range sound is a challenge for architects and venue designers. Everything about the design and functionality of the MXS10 marries high performance, clean audio reproduction with varying architectural designs. Whether a new venue, or an existing one, the MXS10 is easily integrated and perfectly at home. Easy to Hide When installed with the optional MPS10 installation bracket, the MXS10 can be installed on walls, ceilings, or anywhere a venue designer wishes for concealed placement. The omni-directional coverage of the MXS10 allows the it to be placed on a ceiling, or under furniture for complete area coverage; while remaining discrete or invisible. The physical dimensions and aspect ratios of the MXS10 were chosen specifically to allow it to virtually disappear into a venue. Floor mounted under furniture, in a false ceiling space, or vertically mounted to a wall are just some examples of how the MXS10 can vanish into a venue.

Quest - QM3 - Two-way Active Bass Reflex Speaker
Quest Engineering$1,662.99Actively Professional QM3 Two-way Active Bass Reflex Speaker The entry level to professional performance. The QM3 12” powered 2-way loudspeaker is the tough, reliable, speaker system that delivers performance way above its class. Both lightweight and easy to use the QM3 ticks all the boxes when it comes to performance, price and a long service life. The QM3 has all the features sound audio professionals demand for fast and dependable mobile sound. Whether you are a DJ, musician, A/V professional or you just need portable sound that won’t let you down, the QM3 is the active professional’s partner as a fold-back monitor, stand alone system, or as part of a multi-way PA. Revealing Details Lightweight, powerful and built to perform in tough conditions are the qualities demanded by professionals in a powered speaker system. While every manufacturer might have these goals in mind, achieving them at a realistic price point is not so easy. Quest has addressed this challenge with advanced engineering and design processes. The heart of the QM3 is the Quest Hybridtec Amplifier System; a lightweight amplification package that combines the best features of both analogue and digital technologies. Loudspeaker components give the most output for the least weight and the heavy gauge front steel grille and high quality timber ply casing protect your investment in a way that is both practical and stylish. Hybridtec Amplification As an engineering company you don’t advance by just blindly following the same road travelled by everybody else. Digital amplification is now popular, but many people complain the high frequency response is “harsh and unnatural”. This is especially true when the amplifier is driven to full power. The Quest solution to this is the Hybridtec System - an Australian developed digital\analogue hybrid amplifier module which incorporates the best of both worlds. This system has been well tried and tested on the Quest QM450a and now is available on the QM3 and QM4. The design philosophy behind Hybridtec was simple: "use each type of technology according to its strengths, as opposed to using less appropriate technology just to meet a budget". The result, is an amplifier with a digital low end component and an analogue high frequency section. In the case of the QM3 a hard knee analogue limiter and extra amplifier clipping protection make it almost impossible to drive the system into distortion. This combination along with significant over engineering on the cabinet and grille designs makes the QM3 one of the toughest and durable products on the market. Accuracy & Control The QM3 has a very smooth frequency response and is designed to give a very natural sounding vocal response. The 85 x 75 degree elliptical wave guide gives even coverage with a minimum of feedback causing “hotspots”. This also makes the QM3 an ideal self powered fold-back monitor. When placed horizontally on a stage the QM3 sits at the correct angle, and provides great coverage for stage monitoring. The design of the rear carry handles also protect the connection panel if the QM3 becomes accidentally overturned. F urther EQ control is available with both cut and boost HF/LF controls on the QM3 preamplifier section. This is more convenient than the current fashion of preset user adjustments. The input section of the QM3 allows for either microphone or line level input from 1/4" inch jack or XLR connectors Wooden Body, Steel Faced The QM3 casing is made of the same heavy duty birch ply wood as our high performance and industry trusted HPI systems. Finished with a road worthy black paint coating and fitted with a wrap-around heavy gauge protective steel grille, the QM3 has been crafted to endure even the most demanding environments and is built to last.

The heavy gauge steel grill and recessed connectors coupled with the ergonomic casing design, make the QM350i a no compromise pro performer in the hands of any professional needing instant results. Wave Guided HF The QM350i boasts an exceptionally accurate HF response due to its purpose designed high frequency driver which is coupled to Quest's custom designed asymmetrical wave-guide delivering ultra smooth frequency response. In addition, the wave-guide can be rotated through four dispersion plains maximizing the QM 350i's application potential. The 1" horn sports a wide 90-100 degree coverage at the base of the flare and a long throw 40 degrees at the top. This ensures that the HF energy can be directed accurately wherever it is needed without exciting unnecessary room reverberation. This unique horn geometry design also minimizes "hot zones”. This is a great benefit for sound guys when microphones are positioned closely to speaker systems and is a great benefit for a monitor engineer (when the horn flare is rotated into horizontal monitor mode). Sound Rigging Permanent installation or temporary rigging to mobile stage truss can be achieved with the WB350 "U" wall bracket. When installing the WB350 bracket in horizontal installation the QM350i is the ideal speaker system for coverage in venues with low ceilings, thanks to the long throw asymmetrical horn.

The QM4 15” powered 2-way loudspeaker is the tough, reliable, speaker system that delivers performance way above its class. Both lightweight and easy to use the QM4 ticks all the boxes when it comes to performance, price and a long service life. The QM4 has all the features sound audio professionals demand for fast and dependable mobile sound. Whether you are a DJ, musician, A/V professional or you just need portable sound that won’t let you down, the QM4 is the active professional’s partner as a stand alone system, or as part of a multi-way PA. Revealing Details Lightweight, powerful, big on bass, and built to perform in tough conditions are the qualities demanded by professionals in a powered speaker system. While every manufacturer might have these goals in mind, achieving them at a realistic price point is not so easy. Quest has addressed this challenge with advanced engineering and design processes. The heart of the QM4 is the Quest Hybridtec Amplifier System; a lightweight amplification package that combines the best features of both analogue and digital technologies. Loudspeaker components give the most output for the least weight and the heavy gauge front steel grille and high quality timber ply casing protect your investment in a way that is both practical and stylish. Hybridtec Amplification As an engineering company you don’t advance by just blindly following the same road travelled by everybody else. Digital amplification is now popular, but many people complain the high frequency response is “harsh and unnatural”. This is especially true when the amplifier is driven to full power. The Quest solution to this is the Hybridtec System - an Australian developed digital\analogue hybrid amplifier module which incorporates the best of both worlds. This system has been well tried and tested on the Quest QM450a and now is available on the QM3 and QM4. The design philosophy behind Hybridtec was simple: "use each type of technology according to its strengths, as opposed to using less appropriate technology just to meet a budget". The result, is an amplifier with a digital low end component and an analogue high frequency section. In the case of the QM4 a hard knee analogue limiter and extra amplifier clipping protection make it almost impossible to drive the system into distortion. This combination along with significant over engineering on the cabinet and grille designs makes the QM4 one of the toughest and durable products on the market. Accuracy & Control The 15” QM4 features a very smooth frequency response, extending further down to achieve an even bigger bass sound; while still maintaining a very natural sounding vocal response - often hard to achieve with a large bass driver. In the case of the QM4 however, Quest Engineering has paid particular attention to maintaining vocal integrity. The 85 x 75 degree elliptical wave guide gives even coverage with a minimum of feedback causing “hotspots”. Further EQ control is available with both cut and boost HF/LF controls on the QM4 preamplifier section. This is more convenient than the current fashion of preset user adjustments. The input section of the QM4 allows for either microphone or line level input from 1/4" inch jack or XLR connectors. Wooden Body, Steel Faced The QM4 casing is made of the same heavy duty birch ply wood as our high performance and industry trusted HPI systems. Finished with a road worthy black paint coating and fitted with a wrap-around heavy gauge protective steel grille, the QM4 has been crafted to endure even the most demanding environments and is built to last.

Quest Engineering$2,220.99Actively Professional QM450A Lightweight Active 12" Loudspeaker The first speaker to utilise the Hybridtec system is the all-new QM 450A compact powered speaker system designed and built in Melbourne, Australia. The QM450A delivers a full 450W RMS output and uses the same birch plywood timber chassis as the extremely popular QM350i. With a chassis designed to deliver optimal linearity in its passive form, it proved the logical foundation for an active system. Revealing Details Lightweight, reliable, powerful and sonically impressive... This is the discerning criteria demanded by every professional for a powered speaker system. While every manufacturer has these goals in mind, achieving these deliverables can prove a difficult task, especially when a realistic price point is also a driving factor. Hybridtec Amplification Quest has broken the moulds of orthodox design yet again with a revolutionary concept in professional audio amplifier design. Quest Hybridtec is an Australian developed digital\analogue hybrid amplifier module which utilises the best of both worlds. The design philosophy behind Hybridtec was simple: "use each type of technology according to its strengths as opposed to trying to make less appropriate technology suit just to meet a budget". The result, an amplifier with a digital low end component and an analogue high frequency section. Accuracy & Control The QM450A features a purpose designed high frequency driver coupled to Quest?s custom designed asymmetrical wave-guide. The wave-guide can be rotated through four dispersion plains maximizing the QM450A's application potential further. The 12" horn sports a wide 90-100 degree coverage at the base of the flare and a long throw 40 degrees at the top. This feature means that the HF energy can be directed accurately wherever it is needed without adding unnecessary reverberation. This unique horn geometry design minimizes "hot zones" making instances where microphones are positioned closely to speaker systems a non-issue for monitor and FOH engineers.
