Quested S6 (used)

2-way active monitors

The Quested S6 is a small, 2-way, active loudspeaker and as such represents a departure from the large, high-powered monitors for which Quested is best known. It consists of a 5-inch (127mm) woofer and a 1.1-inch (28mm) dome tweeter housed in a sealed cabinet.

The power amplifier, crossover and equalisation electronics are all housed within the cabinet, which has outside dimensions of 170mm wide by 282mm high by 240mm deep and a weight of 7.5kg. Quested specifies power output capabilities of 65W RMS for the low frequencies and 45W RMS for the high frequencies, giving a single loudspeaker a claimed maximum output capability of 104dBC at 1m using a pink noise signal and 116dBC for a pair of loudspeakers with music.

The crossover frequency is specified as 1.19kHz and incorporates low-frequency (45Hz) and high-frequency (75kHz) protection filters. Both drivers have magnetic shielding.
The rear panel has a combined XLR/¼-inch jack input along with a control for input sensitivity (-12 to +6dBu for 96dB SPL at 1m) and 3-position DIP switches for LF EQ (0, -2, -4dB at 80Hz) and HF EQ (+2, 0, -2dB at 10kHz).
This review was conducted with both EQ controls set to 0dB.
