The Quested Q212D is a three-way active main monitoring system with remote electronics. According to Quested it was the company’s first production monitor and has been continuously refined over around two decades – the original Q212 system at Rooster Studios in London is still in service, and a newer 5.1 installation is in use at SARM Studios in London.
The cabinet houses two 12″ (305 mm) bass drivers, a 3″ (75 mm) midrange and a 1.5″ (37 mm) high-frequency driver. Instead of built-in amplifiers, the Q212D uses a separate, dedicated electronics package of 19″ rack-mount power amplifiers and an electronic crossover / loudspeaker management system. Each frequency band has its own amplifier channel, and the crossover uses steep Linkwitz-Riley filters for a precise transition between the drivers.
Key features:
- Active three-way system with remote rack electronics
- Amplifier power: 1250 W (LF), 450 W (MF) and 450 W (HF) RMS
- Maximum SPL of 126 dB at 1 m
- Linkwitz-Riley crossovers at 450 Hz and 4.5 kHz (24 dB/oct)
- Gold-plated binding posts for bare wire or 4 mm banana plugs
- Electronics package per pair: 2× AP950-2, 1× AP1550-2 and 1× SM748
Applications:
The Q212D is designed as the main monitor for mid-sized control rooms and as a component of multichannel systems in large control rooms. Its low-frequency response depends on room size and acoustics.
