General Safety Instructions:
Professional loudspeakers can produce harmful sound pressure
levels. SPLs above 95 dB can permanently damage your hearing.
Observe the relevant guidelines regarding working safety and
health protection.
To avoid physical and personal damages due to loudspeakers
dropping or tumbling over, please make sure that the speakers
stand safely on a firm ground.
Vertically stacked loudspeakers must be secured sufficiently with
tension belts against unintentional movement.
Check all cabinets and accessories regularly for wear, especially
the flying rails and the tripod flange. Replace them if necessary.
Make sure that during operation on spacer tubes, no persons will
stand close to the loudspeakers.
Use only accessory parts specified by ProAudio Technology or
original accessory parts from ProAudio Technology.
Loudspeakers always produce a magnetic field. Make sure
that during transport, setup and disassembly and also during
operation of the loudspeakers no objects (such as laptops,
harddisk drives, credit cards and the likes) get close to the
speakers which could become damaged by the magnetic field.
People who have a pacemaker must keep a safety clearance.
The minimum recommended safety clearance is 1 m.
Do not set up the loudspeakers in places where they are
permanently exposed to moisture, dust, dirt or direct sunlight.
Care:
Wipe the surface of loudspeakers only with a damp cloth and
pure water.
In case of heavy pollution, repeat the above procedure several
times if necessary.
Do not use any chemical additives or aggressive detergents, as
these may harm and damage the surfaces.

Note:
Only one 4-pole cable is
required to connect 2-channel
combinations of several HT16 and
SW18 / SW28 subwoofers.
Description:
The HT16 is a fully horn-loaded 2-way high/midrange
loudspeaker with a built-in passive frequency crossover. The
two 8“ cone chassis work on a large low/mid horn. The high/
mid unit has been integrated coaxially into the low/mid horn.
The directivity characteristic is 60° x 40° with the HT16-6 and
90° x 40° with the HT16-9.
This loudspeaker is to be used exclusively with the
ProAudio Technology system amplifiers.
Different setups enable a practice-oriented usage with or without
SW18 / SW28 subwoofers. Alternatively Hoellstern DELTA series
amplifiers with built-in DSP may be used.
Should you have any questions, please contact
ProAudio Technology regarding this subject.
Cabinet:
The cabinet is made of 15 mm birch multiply wood and and
coated with a robust 2-component texture paint finish. It is fitted
with ten handles, two attachments for front lid plus four stacking
feet with corresponding recesses on the opposite side.
Two aircargo flying rails with provisions for suitable attachments
for flying frames have been integrated into the cabinet.
Behind the front grille is a layer of black acoustic foam.
Connection:
The connections are made on the rear side through two Neutrik
NL4 SpeakON sockets wired in parallel.
Pin pair 1 is connected to the speaker chassis.
Pin pair 2 may be used to hook up SW18 / SW28 subwoofers
(slave-through option).
Operation on System Amplifiers:
The amplifier configuration software will display help texts for the
individual loudspeakers. Select a setup which contains the name
“HT16“.
On the DELTA8.4-DSP system amplifier up to two HT16 can be
driven per channel.
On the DELTA14.4-DSP system amplifier a maximum of four HT16
can be driven per channel.
Details will be shown by the software upon entering the number
of HT16 speakers per channel.
Note:
Use the HT16 loudspeaker only
on system amplifiers with the
available setups. Otherwise there
may be a risk of damage and
inadequate performance.
