UNPACKING
NEXT HFA Series are built in Europe (Portugal) by NEXT-proaudio, according to the highest
standards and thoroughly inspected before they leave the factory. When unpacking your HFA206L,
examine it carefully for any signs of possible transit damage and inform your dealer immediately if
any such damage has occurred.
It is suggested that you retain the original packaging so that the HFA206L can be repacked in
the future if necessary. Please note that NEXT-proaudio and its authorized distributors cannot accept
any responsibility for damage to any returned product through the use of non-approved packaging.
H FA SPEAKER SERIES OVERVIEW
The HFA speaker series are fully powered PA systems (except HFA106p, HFA206p and
HFA206L), designed to deliver high output and dynamics, extreme linearity and fidelity for unrivalled
performance at a very competitive price.
Entirely manufactured in Portugal, the HFA speaker series uses superb quality custom made
components, loading birch plywood enclosures coated by a scratch resistant textured paint to assure
an outstanding performance and durability.
The integration with the new DPAmplifier modules with up to 1650 Wrms, and the advanced
digital signal processing, set a new standard for distortion, noise and thermal efficiency. A surprisingly
simple handling concept lets you plug in and play straight away. Configure the system by selecting
the right preset and let the system do the rest.
Containing an asymmetric horn that ranges from 50º in the horizontal far-field to 100º in the
horizontal near-field and 50º vertical, fully rotatable, means you can use it either vertical or on its side
and still maintain the same directivity pattern (only available on HFA110, HFA112 and HFA115). To
widen the possibilities of this series, two models with different high frequency section horn were
created. The HFA212 maintains a 60ºH x 40ºV dispersion pattern, better for stacking and larger venue
applications. Where single speaker (per side) applications are required, there is the wide version of
this model, the HFA212W, which maintains a more appropriate 80ºH x 60ºV dispersion pattern. It is
also possible, in all HFA models, rotate the high frequency section horn in order to change the sound
directivity.

HFA206L
The HFA206 is the only HFA series speaker that has a
100V Line version. Able to deliver an extremely high
output and dynamics for its size, extreme linearity and
fidelity, is one of the best solutions in terms of
price/quality ratio in the market. A built-in passive
crossover with 100V transformer, connected on the
screws connector, provides the perfect frequency and
phase response. It is advisable to operate it with a high
pass filter at 85 Hz in a full-range operation mode.
HFA206L provides 5 power taps (100W, 75W, 50W,
25W and 12.5W). The common wire (black) must be
always connect on the first connector’s position
(COM). The positive wire (red) must be connected on
one of the free connector’s position, according to the
desired power tap.
