The Quested Q412D is the largest three-way monitor in the Quested range and the first studio monitor to use four 12″ bass drivers in place of the traditional dual 15″ configuration. The result is faster bass transients, lower distortion and an extended low-frequency response. The history of the 412 goes back to the early 1980s, when Manfred Mann’s Workhouse Studio received the first system.
The cabinet houses four 12″ (305 mm) bass drivers, a 3″ (75 mm) midrange and a 1.5″ (37 mm) high-frequency driver. The monitor is designed for soffit mounting and can be installed horizontally or vertically. Instead of built-in amplifiers it uses a dedicated electronics package of 19″ rack-mount power amplifiers and the SM748 electronic crossover / loudspeaker management system. Each band has its own amplifier channel: 1850 W RMS for the bass section and 450 W RMS each for mid and high frequencies. Steep Linkwitz-Riley filters ensure a precise transition between the drivers. With a maximum SPL of 130 dB, the Q412D is designed as the main monitor for large control rooms.
