DESCRIPTION FEATURES
The HX-5 Series offers controllable coverage
An innovative modular speaker design that offers remarkable
versatility for use in public address systems of different
venues, the HX-5 Series offers high quality audio
reinforcement even in venues with acoustic difficulties. The
design effectively combines the advantages of large,
traditional horn-loaded tweeter and woofer enclosures and fullrange compact speaker boxes without the drawbacks usually
experienced with such speakers. These included installation
requirements and minimal visual appeal in venues where
appearance is important.
●
characteristics. This allows optimal multiple unit
configurations for installations in a wide range of venues
including auditoriums, places of worship, banquet halls,
community centers, sports bars, shopping malls,
boardrooms, gyms and many other medium-sized
environments.
The HX-5 Series makes it simple to optimize dispersion for
●
the different acoustic requirements of various venues with a
variable dispersion angle that can be set for 60, 45, 30 and
15 degrees.
Modular HX-5 speakers can be combined to create a better
●
variable dispersion-controlled frequency range with
enhanced low frequency output.
Regardless of mounting on a wall or ceiling, HX-5 speakers
●
exhibit minimal comb filter and interference effects to
produce smoother low frequency output.
Available in black or white finishes to suit venue decoration
●
schemes.
Subwoofer module for augmenting low frequency response.
●
Simple installation requirements include hanging with the
●
accessory brackets using chains, strong wires or cables.
There are also other installation options such as a preinstall frame that can include a subwoofer, ceiling and wall
brackets, and an adapter for installing on a dedicated stand.

Design background
The HX-5 is an innovative modular speaker design that
incorporates the best characteristics of the traditional,
cumbersome woofer enclosure combined with a CD
horn-loaded high frequency driver and the full-range
compact speaker enclosure without the drawbacks
associated with each type.
The traditional speaker system was able to pro vide w ellcontrolled sound coverage but posed various difficulties
for correct installation and also presented an oldfashioned appearance as well that impacts on the
venue's appear ance . The full-range compact speaker
enclosure is easy to install, but the design's sound
coverage is hard to control.
The HX-5 features remarkably easy to control cov er age
characteristics including problematic low frequencies
and can be installed in a multitude of ways while
maintaining a modern, unobstrusive appearance.
Adjustable sound dispersion
A system is configured by vertically stacking four
speaker modules with a total driver complement of four
woofers and 12 tweeters positioned along the baffle
surface. This configur ation allows the variable directivity
control and low-frequency dispersion control comparable
to using a large constant-directivity horn speaker. A
choice of four directivity angles — 15, 30, 45 and 60
degrees can be employed as needed. For instance, a
specific directivity angle, or each module can have its
directivity independently set for a specific cover age
requirement. When two or multiple modules are
connected to configure an arc, they effectively function
as an immense single speaker controlling directivity for
considerably lower frequencies. As a result, public
address functions demonstrate optimal intelligibility even
in environments with long rev erb times .

Minimal reflective effects
Whether mounted on the wall or ceiling, the HX-5 is
remarkably free from the comb filter and interference
effects often encountered with other speaker designs. It
can therefore produce more low frequency output e ven
when mounted on the wall or ceiling.

In multiple unit configurations, the HX-5 will be able to
deliver greater low frequency output over its angle of dispersion.

Versatile mounting options
Compared to many other speaker designs, the HX-5
Series is remarkably easy to install in several ways. It
can be hung easily with chains, strong wires and cables
using the accessory brackets. There are also options for
hanging with a pre-install frame by itself or configured
with a subwoofer. There are also other options including
ceiling and wall brackets as w ell as an adapter for use
with a dedicated stand.
