QSC-ACE 500 Series Composite Nearfield Reference Monitors are two-way speakers designed for use in critical listening applications, including broadcast, stage monitoring, multimedia presentations, and foreground or background music playback.

The ACE 500 product line consists of three models: the ACE 540, ACE 550, and the ACE 570. The ACE 540 delivers excellent performance from a two-way, infinite baffle enclosure. The ACE 550 and ACE 570 are two-way, ported enclosures that boast extended low frequency response. All three models make use of a 1" dome tweeter for the HF transducer. The ACE 540 and ACE 550 use a 5.25" LF transducer while the ACE 570 uses a 7" LF transducer. All models are housed in a trapezoidal- shaped enclosure—making these speakers well suited for numerous audio environments.

All 500 Series loudspeakers employ a passive crossover and have a nominal coverage pattern of 120°. Neutrik® NL4 Speak-On connectors, binding posts, and mounting points are included.

QSC-ACE enclosures incorporate Composilite™, a patented core composite technology that yields superior acoustic properties, lighter weight, and outstanding weather resistance compared to conventional enclosure materials. Multiple skins of carbon fiber are layered over a phenolic honeycomb core to form a rigid, seamless enclosure. The extreme stiffness of composite construction prevents flexing of the enclosure walls, significantly reducing transmission loss due to wall vibration. The result is reduced cabinet resonance, increased low-frequency output, and greater sonic accuracy. A comprehensive line of mounting accessories and optional color choices make the QSC-ACE 500 Series a versatile solution.
