HPI111 User Manual General Description The HPI 111 is a full frequency range multi-purpose 2-way passive speaker system designed for the live sound touring and permanent installation market. It is suited to full range front-of house sound for mid-throw applications in both stand alone applications or as part of a small array.
HPI111 User Manual Getting The Best From Your HPI111 Connections Suitable Amplification The HPI111 is an 8 ohm enclosure and can be connected in multiple parallel connections to an amplifier channel that can operate at speaker impedances of 4 ohms. The HPI111 is a mid power level high efficiency system, so ultra high power is not necessary to obtain high sound pressure levels. The recommended power range per amplifier channel is 450-500 watts RMS into an 8Ω load.
HPI111 User Manual Speaker cables Speaker cable needs to be as heavy gauge as conveniently possible for low-loss results. Light gauge cable (below 1.5mm) will create extra resistance and waste amplifier power. This particularly applies to long speaker runs. The amplifier’s damping factor statistic (“punch” for the non technical) is greatly diminished, so keep your speaker cables short and as heavy gauge as practical.
