Satisfying the demands of people who make a living making music, responding to the specific, often unique demands of 

live performers with competitive prices: this is not just a dream. It is the philosophy behind QUBE, a range of speaker 

systems, power amplifiers and processor modules. The result is a comprehensive, expandable and fully reliable PA system 

with incredible sound quality and a versatility that makes it ideal for permanent installation as well as road use. 

The Qube project — dedicated to professionals who won’t settle for second best. 

Sound Quality 

QUBE series speakers are the optimum solution for live 

performances, whether in small and intimate venues, or in 

big open air arenas where thousands of watts are needed. 

The series offers high quality and high fidelity sound reproduction 

thanks to components specifically designed for the 

QUBE system. So you can perform well and be heard well, 

relying on top quality sound reproduction even at high 

power, show after show, night after night. 

Comprehensive Product Range 

Those who use products from the QUBE range are not simply 

the owners of a pair of speakers or a power amplifier. 

Those who choose QUBE embrace the philosophy of a 

system designed to adapt to a wide range of requirements, 

from the perfect pair of speakers for the piano-bar performer 

or the consultant with the task of installing a PA system 

in a public building, to mega systems created for concert 

musicians performing at high volume for thousands of fans. 

The goal of offering a comprehensive product range is reached 

thanks to the complete series of passive and powered 

speakers with a built-in digital controller; an external digital 

controller is designed to enhance the performance of the 

passive speakers, to allow the expansion of systems with 

subwoofers, and to enable configuration in accordance with 

individual requirements. 

UpGrade Options 

The modularity and flexibility of the QUBE range enables 

users to continually expand their systems at a minimum 

cost, “navigating” through the configuration options as they 

please… options which are all obtainable simply by integrating 

their existing systems. Start with a pair of speakers, and 

later as needs change, it is a simple matter to increase the 

power of the system by adding a final stage and another pair 

of speakers; alternatively, the addition of a pair of subwoofers 

with a final stage provides a truly comprehensive 

system in terms of frequency response. 

Reliability 

Those who claim to offer a professional PA system must 

guarantee the reliability of their components. 

The Qube engineers have made no compromises on this 

front. The inclusion of protective circuitry on the crossover 

filter limits excess power supplied to the driver, preventing 

any damaging “Larsen” effects. For those who want an additional 

level of protection, the controller limits power when 

the woofer runs the risk of overheating or when movement 

of the cone is so great as to alter or even damage its mechanical 

characteristics. The same attention to detail has been 

given to amplifiers, with protection circuits to preventing 

direct current, overheating and accidental short-circuiting 

at the output. 

Optimisation 

For those not content even with the matchless specifications 

of QUBE speakers, the digital controller 

further enhance performance, optimising sound, reliability 

and flexibility. Indeed the processor has been designed to 

allow active optimisation of the already impressive frequency 

response through “ad hoc” equalisation of each indi- 

vidual speaker, to optimise reliability by protecting woofers 

in the same way as drivers, and to process audio signals by 

separating the part of the signal directed to the full-range 

speakers from that directed to the subwoofers. 

By an internal switch all the fullrange passive speakers can 

be split into active ways. 

High Dynamic Device. 

Used on the powered Qube amplifier, the HDD is an integrated 

system, comprising a digital processor and two high efficiency 

amplifier. The system, very compact and light, trough 

a sophisticated equalization and a energy control produce a 

clean sound with high dynamic in a safe way. The key features 

are: 

· Time domain equalization to produce the best 

frequency and phase response; 

· Built-in crossover is designed for the minimum driver 

interference and the best polar response; 

· Excursion control to avoid the woofer exceed allowed 

displacement; 

· Energy control to keep the driver operating in a safe 

working area; 

· High efficiency, high peak power PWM amplifier for the 

LW woofer; 

· High efficiency class G amplifier for the HW 

compression driver; 

· Remote control possibility trough a computer, via a 

dedicated program software and a computer, allowing 

the preset can be locked into memory to meet the 

challenging acoustics of any venue. Curve preset and 

fine adjustment through equalization 4 par. Eq. and 

delay control (manual mode with DIP switch). 

Monitoring of the system status (speakers check, 

volume control, input sensitivity selection, output level 

monitoring overload or equalizer overload, on/off 

command), monitoring of the input; 

· 8 default presets 

These presets have been made to give to the speakers 

the best performances at different applications. 

All the speakers are eprovided with the following 

default presets :Floor, Low Extension, HF 

Compensation, Array. The Q 110A, because of its 

monitor design, have also a Stage Monitor preset to 

be insert when it is used as floor monitor. 

These presets make a frequency response correction: 

1. to compensate the bass frequency energy boost 

2. to extend the frequency response in the low range 

to compensate the lack of a subwoofer at moderate 

SPL level 

3. to compensate the high frequency attenuation 

due to the air in a “ far-field” situation. 

4. to assemble two speakers in array configuration 

increasing the SPL and the coverage. 

· On/Off sub connection 

The powered speakers is the latest addition to complete the Qube line; by the use of HHD module ( Class D "PWM" amplifier; incorporated 

digital DSP; Control Remote System Supervision), the speakers are tailored for a wide range of touring and installed sound reinforcement 

applications. 

The full range speakers can be switched into two way bi amp by moving a selector located on the back plate.

SPEAKERS 

The Qube Q 208 was designed to be the perfect travelling companion for professional musicians: 

compact, lightweight and easy to handle. Yet despite its small size, it lacks nothing in 

power. The exclusive slimline shape gives astonishing results from such a small enclosure, 

putting it in the same performance league as systems with dimensions and costs 2 or even 3 

times as much. The WTW configuration comprising a high frequency 1” driver and horn positioned 

between two 8” woofers gives a sound comparable to that from a single source, benefiting 

from the presence and definition typical of coaxial systems. The result is an extremely flat 

frequency response, without colouring between 65Hz and 18 kHz. Covering a horizontal angle 

of 80°, the QUBE Q 208 is the ideal choice both for permanent installations, for example in pubs 

and conference halls, and as portable equipment for professional musicians. On stage, QUBE 

Q208 cabinet can also be used as monitors.

LINE ARRAY 

The QSA-210 is a two way passive line array 

speaker. Two 10” neodymium loudspeakers, two 1” 

neodymium drivers handle a power of 500 watts. 

Easy to use, the new Qube Line Array is made, as 

well as all Qube products, in cooperation with 

Renkus-Heinz R&D team. 

The system is based on a totally new radical technology: 

the Isophasic Plane Wave Generator. By the 

use of a true acoustical lens in the hornsection loaded 

by two 1" high-compression neodymium drivers, 

the result is a line shaped source evenly distributed 

within the cabinet as well as within the line 

array. It allows high power and precise line array 

performance to be generated from a column of biamped 

(minimum 6 speakers)cabinets just 60 cm 

wide making it perfect for medium-sized tours and 

installations in venues such as theatres. The Qube 

series is fully compatible, electronically and acoustically, with the QSA-210, which can be used to partner it 

with sidefills, downfills and sub-bass cabinets. 

The cabinet is designed for extremely quick set-up and the included twopoint flying hardware admits two different 

settings (0° and 5°) for straight line array as well as curved clustering. The express-bar is designed 

to enable firm fly mount as well as ground-stacking. 

The SP 26 is a digital signal processing controller programmed to optimise the performances of the total 

system.

BRK 

The QUBE BRK is a trapezoidal shaped full range horn loudspeaker enclosure 

equipped with doublet 15” (LF), 10” (MF) in a coaxial construction with 

a 2” (HF) driver. The 2”-driver is fed into a Renkus-Heinz® CBH2000-6 horn, 

which gives a well balanced frequency response throughout the field of (HxV 

- 60 x 40) coverage. Due to the coaxial design between the 10” and 2”, the 

sound is produced from a one-point source within the vocal field of frequencies, 

which greatly adds to clarity and transparency of the sound and 

reduces problems with lobing and comb filtering effects. The extremely high 

sensibility (106 dB 1W/1m) enables high power handling and efficient amplifier 

utilization, and gives the loudspeaker capability of delivering sound 

pressure levels at 133 dB (RMS) and up to 137 dB (peak). The loudspeaker 

will in total handle 2760W (2x15” 2000W, 10” 600W, 2” 160W) of power. 

This touring specified enclosure is constructed in durable 13-layer birch 

plywood and heavily braced for extra stabilization. 

The cabinet comes as standard equipped with extra-reinforced flying 

hardware that runs from top to bottom as well as heavy-duty handles for 

easy rigging and stacking. The cabinet is painted in durable black paint. 

QUBE BKR is by sound and size carefully matched to the QUBE RUT doublet 

18” subwoofer and due to the identical sizes of the cabinets, the handling and 

rigging for the loudspeaker system is extremely easy and well balanced. 

RUT 

The QUBE RUT is just like the QUBE BRK a trapezoidal in shape and offers 

a horn-loaded subwoofer construction with doublet 18” that is capable of a 

solid sub frequency response from 32 to 150Hz. The horn construction is a 

7th order band pass design and due to its excellent transient response able 

of delivering high definition sub frequencies with an extreme “tight” sound. 

The dual 18” woofers can handle 2800W (2 ohm) and will produce sound 

pressure levels up 132 dB continues and 137 dB peak. 

This touring specified enclosure is constructed in durable 13-layer birch 

plywood and heavily braced for extra stabilization and resonance cancellation. 

The cabinet is as standard equipped with heavy duty handles for easy 

rigging and stacking. The cabinet is painted in durable polyurethane black 

paint. The size and sound of the QUBE RUT is carefully matched with QUBE 

BRK in order to simplify handling and enhance over all capabilities for the 

system.

SP22 D 

DIGITAL CONTROLLERS 

SP22 is a 2-in/2-out digital signal processor (DSP) designed to optimise the performance of all loudspeakers in the QUBE 

range. 

Model SP 22 are easily installed in the rear panel of a QUBE amplifier, or it can be rack-mounted when using other power 

amplifiers (in this case the HCR 12/22 adapter is used to install two SP22 modules). The SP 22 digital control unit have 

been projected to control speaker (SP 22D) and woofer(SP 22Ds) cabinets. Model SP 22D is designed for use with 2-way 

full-range speakers (Q106, Q208, Q110, Q112, Q115, QM115); model SP 22Ds is designed for use with subwoofers (QS112, 

QS115, QS118, QS218). 

The main characteristics are as follows: 

• Frequency range equalisation to optimise frequency response and power response. 

• High precision control of power delivered to loudspeakers by means of an amplifier output sensing function. 

• Woofer excursion control 

• High pass filter 

• Fast rolloff crossovers (steep slope) 

• Delays on both channels to compensate for vertical misalignment 

• General delay on both channels from 0.25 m to 64 m. 

• 4 configuration modes: stereo/biamp/bridge/parallel 

• 2 XLR inputs 

• 2 parallel XLR outputs 

• 8 dipswitches to change the delay on both channels 

• 4-position selector for 4 configuration modes: stereo/biamp/bridge/parallel 

• 1 dipswitch (1) for SUB/PHASE selection: SUB mode activates the high pass filter when SP 22 is utilised to control 

a satellite; for the model SP 22Ds PHASE mode inverts the phase (180deg. rotation) on the subwoofer 

• 3 dipswitches (2/3/4) to select cabinet model (8 models)
