MH-1063  
MH-1075  
Introduction  
10” (254mm) mid, 2.5” (63mm) compression driver  
10” (254mm) mid, 3.0” (75mm) compression driver  
The MH-1063 and MH-1075 “mid-high packs” provide the mid and high frequency  
components of three-way screen channel loudspeaker systems for high performance  
cinema applications. They were designed to operate with and be directly mounted on  
QSCs cinema low frequency enclosures.  
Mid frequencies are reproduced with a 10” (254mm) high-efficiency, phase-ring  
loaded driver mounted on a custom designed cinema horn. The high-frequency driver  
is a large format, 2.5” (63mm, MH-1063) or 3.0” (75mm, MH-1075) titanium dia-  
phragm compression driver mounted on a custom high-frequency cinema horn. The  
high frequency horn is a low-distortion waveguide providing highly articulate dialogue  
without coloration associated with conventional horn loudspeakers. Both horns fea-  
ture broad horizontal and vertical coverage angles to ensure coverage of every seat in  
the auditorium. The driver assemblies are mounted on an adjustable pan and tilt  
bracket that has an integral aiming sight, simplifying installation.  
The MH-1063 and MH-1075 loudspeakers include a driver protection and crossover  
network to assure reliable operation. DC blocking capacitors protect against DC or  
low-frequency signals that could damage an unprotected driver. Power limiter circuitry  
protects the driver from over-powering and an 18dB/octave crossover seamlessly  
blends the high and mid frequency elements. Outboard processing is required to form  
the crossover between the LF and MH loudspeakers.  
Bi-amp or tri-amp operation is possible using a selector switch mounted on the con-  
nections panel. The bi-amp setting provides a passive crossover network between mid  
and high drivers. Separate amplifiers and an active crossover are required for the low  
frequency channel and the mid-high channel. Tri-amp setting disables the internal  
mid-high crossover and each driver is driven independently by its own amplifier and  
active crossover; one for the low, one for the mid, and one for the high frequencies.  
The MH-1063 and MH-1075 components come pre-assembled to reduce field assem-  
bly time. Three bolts are all that are required to secure the mid-high assembly to the  
top of a QSC low frequency enclosure.  
Install in accordance with QSC Audio Product’s instructions and a  
licensed, professional engineer. Only use attachments, mounts,  
accessories, or brackets specified by QSC Audio Products, Inc. Refer  
all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the  
apparatus has been damaged in any way.  
WARNING! Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any  
speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, trans-  
ducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing,  
corroded, deformed or non-load rated component could significantly  
reduce the strength of the installation, placement, or array. Any such  
condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should  
be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the  
loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term  
unexpected overloading. Never exceed the rating of the hardware or  
equipment. Consult a licensed, professional engineer when any  
doubt or questions arise regarding a physical equipment installation.

Connections  
INPUT Terminals  
2
The MH-1063 and MH-1075 have barrier strip screw terminals that accept up to #10 AWG (5.3mm ) stranded loudspeaker wire.  
Observe proper polarity. Use the largest wire size and shortest wire length for the application.  
OUTPUT Terminals  
The OUTPUT terminals are factory-connected to the drivers. These terminals should ONLY be connected to their respective driver. Do  
not connect signals to these terminals as all protection and equalization circuitry will be bypassed.  
NOTE! Maintain proper loudspeaker connection polarity throughout the entire system for maximum performance.  
Do not apply full range signal to the MH-1063 / MH-1075! There is a mid-high passive crossover for bi-amp mode  
only. There is no crossover connected when operating in tri-amp mode. A protection network is always active. All  
required signal processing must be done before the signal is applied to the loudspeaker. Do not connect any sig-  
nal to the upper sets of OUTPUT terminals.  
BI-AMP mode connections- Ensure the mode switch is set to BI-AMP, connect the input to the MH-1063 / MH-1075 to the lower  
set of input terminals marked “BI-AMP + -”.  
BI-AMP Mode- one  
amplifier channel is used  
for the low frequency  
cabinet and one amplifier  
channel for the mid-high  
assembly. The MH-1063 /  
MH-1075 mode switch is  
set to BI-AMP. Active  
crossovers are used  
before amplification. The  
mid-high assembly pro-  
vides a passive crossover  
between the mid and  
high frequency drivers.

Connections (continued)  
TRI-AMP mode connections- When the mode switch is set to TRI-AMP, connect the high frequency signal to the terminals marked  
INPUT HI + -” and the mid frequency signal to the terminals marked “INPUT MID + -”.  
TRI-AMP Mode- one  
amplifier channel is  
used for the low fre-  
quency cabinet, one  
amplifier channel for  
the mids, and one  
amplifier channel for  
the high frequencies.  
The MH-1063 / MH-  
1075 mode switch is  
set to TRI-AMP,  
bypassing the internal  
mid-high passive cross-  
over. Active or passive  
crossovers are used  
before amplification.  
Power limiter and DC  
blocking remain active.
