waveguide to deliver a
consistent dispersion pattern and superb
intelligibility for the foreground music,
sound reinforcement and PA markets.
The HP690i incorporates a 66 Watt trans
former with a 6-position tap switch and
voice coil/8 Ohm direct position. Hang

­ing hardware is included and features
a fast-action SpeedClamp

Architectural Specifications

The loudspeaker shall consist of a 165
mm (6.5 in) low-frequency transducer
and a high frequency transducer with a
1” exit and a frequency-dividing network
installed in a ported enclosure. The low­frequency voice coil diameter shall be 34
mm (1.36 in).

The performance specifications of a
typical production unit shall be as follows:
Useable frequency response shall extend
from 62 Hz – 22 kHz (-10 dB, no external

equalization). Measured sensitivity (2.83 Volt
input, 1 meter) shall be at least 92.5 dB. The
speaker shall have a nominal impedance
of 8 Ohms and be available for 25/70.7/100
Volt modes with a voice coil/8 Ohm direct.
The frequency-dividing network shall have
a crossover frequency of 3 kHz with a slope
of 18 dB per octave (3rd order). Rated power
capacity shall be at least 100 Watts continu
ous power (RMS), and shall conform to
EIA-426-B testing. Maximum continuous
output at 1 meter shall be 112.5 dB.

The low-frequency transducer shall have
a treated fiber cone and cloth surround.

Installation for the HP690i shall be by 10’
aircraft cable affixed to the speaker chassis
hook. For seismic and safety redundancy,
a secondary aircraft cable shall be included
and shall attach to the speaker chassis via
hook and cable system. The external wiring
shall be a 4-pin 5 mm Euroblock connector
for 8 Ohm or distributed systems and shall
accept from 10 – 22 gauge wire. The system
shall be for indoor and outdoor applications
and have a weather-resistant terminal boot
covering all wire connections.

The enclosure shall be constructed of
injection-molded, glass reinforced ABS. The
