SS-1

Name: EDC Acoustics SS-1
Brand: EDC Acoustics
Price: 7950 USD

Steerable 12-inch subwoofer matching the SQ-90 footprint.

A single 12-inch driver on a 1,200 W amplifier in the same 425 mm square cabinet as the SQ-90, with two steerable low-frequency beams so subwoofers are aimed like the full-range cabinets above them.

The SS-1 is a compact, high-powered subwoofer designed to deliver tight, accurate bass beneath one or two SQ-90s. Because its cabinet matches the SQ-90’s dimensions and rigging, a column of SS-1 and SQ-90 flies as a single array from the touring frame, and its two steerable low-frequency beams follow the same coverage logic as the full-range cabinets.

Questions about the S-Series

What is the frequency range?

The SC columns are rated 100 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) and the SQ-90 and slim SL columns 80 Hz to 20 kHz. The SS-1 and SS-3 subwoofers extend the system to 25 Hz. Datasheets are on each product page.

How loud are they?

Published figures are 95 dB (SC-30), 101 dB (SC-60) and 104 dB (SC-90) at 10 metres for a single cabinet, and 106 dB at 16 metres for the SQ-90, configuration dependent; cabinets cluster horizontally and vertically to form larger arrays that behave as a single source. Peak and continuous figures with a stated measurement method are being added to every datasheet.

Can they be used outdoors?

A weatherised version of each model is available with stainless-steel and aluminium hardware, a waterproof grille lining and IP65-rated network and power connectors. The enclosure's IEC 60529 rating and operating temperature range are being confirmed for publication; ask us for the current statement before specifying an exposed installation.

Do they take Dante or AES3 digital audio?

Every model has an analogue XLR line input and output as standard, with an optional AES3 stereo input or an RJ45 Dante input. Ethernet control and monitoring is standard. Channel mapping, AES67 mode and clocking details are being documented on the Dante and AES67 page.

How are they mounted?

Columns carry eight M10 points and can be mounted vertically or horizontally with the U-brackets; subwoofers carry sixteen M10 points and a pole socket; the SQ-90 uses side and rear rigging tubes and the touring rigging frame. Rigging drawings are in Resources; working-load limits are being added.

Can the system report faults?

A monitored version reports transducer, thermal and amplifier faults over the network, and the cabinets carry an inbuilt measurement microphone. This is the version specified for transport and voice-alarm applications; the interface is being documented for integrators on the developer pages.
