A Next-gen, Intelligent, Active Array Speaker
The QSC LA108 is a next-gen active line array speaker that packs intelligent, leading-edge digital processing into a lightweight, easy-to-deploy package. This 1,300-watt, bi-amped loudspeaker boasts superb-sounding neodymium drivers, yielding an impressive frequency response and distortion-free playback at high SPLs. The LA108's LEAF waveguide ensures wide, uniform coverage, while its ALP design and onboard Dante networking guarantee outstanding coherence and lock-tight interoperability with other QSC loudspeakers. You get industry-leading, single-operator installation thanks to RapidDeploy rigging, QSC's foolproof AWARE DSP system, and a generous range of deployment options. Moreover, QSC's SysNav app enables you to design, configure, control, and monitor your entire array with unprecedented simplicity. A universal power supply rounds out the LA108's ample feature set. A prime choice for portable applications, rental companies, and small- to medium-sized installations, the QSC LA108 takes all the guesswork out of line array configuration and deployment.

State-of-the-art design
Driven by an ultra-efficient, 1,300-watt Class D amplifier, the LA108 comes loaded with a lightweight, purpose-designed 8-inch neodymium low-frequency driver and a 1.75-inch high-frequency compression driver. This muscular combination yields an impressive 62Hz–20kHz frequency response and delivers a high, undistorted maximum peak SPL of 134dB. Moreover, an innovative LEAF (Length Equalized Acoustic Flare) waveguide ensures articulate, uniform 100° x 15° coverage with exceptional throw. This powered line array speaker's ALP (Acoustic Linear Phase) design delivers outstanding coherence between QSC loudspeakers deployed in the same audio system, exhibiting a uniform listening experience throughout your entire venue. To top it off, the LA108 includes Dante networking for lock-tight interoperability with compatible equipment, including seamless control and monitoring integration into the Q-Sys ecosystem.
Intuitive, single-operator installation
The QSC LA108 offers intuitive installation like nothing else we've seen here at Sweetwater. For starters, this line-array speaker's RapidDeploy rigging technology includes short, medium, and long-throw options, guaranteeing fast, easy deployment — no additional tools or hardware required. The LA108 is so easy to install; in fact, one individual can complete the process in minutes with nothing but their own two hands. What's more, this speaker's AWARE (Automatic Wireless Array Recognition) system automatically senses its position in your array configuration. It optimizes itself for maximum performance, negating the need for a live sound expert and complicated line-array tuning and adjustments. You can fly up to six LA108 speakers with an array frame, ground stack up to four LA108 speakers over a single LS118 subwoofer, or mount up to three LA108 speakers on a stand or pole. And regardless of how you put it together, your entire array can be designed, configured, controlled, and monitored using the QSC SysNav app.
