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 provide
well-controlled sound coverage but posed various
difficulties for correct installation and also presented
an old-fashioned appearance as well that impacts on
the venue,s appearance. 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
coverage characteristics including problematic low
frequencies and can be installed in a multitude of ways
while maintaining
a modern,
unobstrusive
appearance.

TOA,s new HX-5 Series Speaker
System fills an important need
for versatile public address
equipment that can provide
high quality reinforcement for
a wide range of venues.
Available in black and white
finishes to complement a venue,s
interior color scheme, the HX-5 Series is
ideal for a wide range of medium size
venues of all different shapes that often
pose problems for sound reinforcement.
These include auditoriums, places of
worship, banquet halls, community centres
as well as dance halls, sports bars,
shopping malls, boardrooms, gyms, health
clubs and many others.

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 configuration 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
coverage 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 reverb 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
even when mounted on the wall or ceiling.
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 well as
an adapter for use with a dedicated stand.
Transformer option
The HX-5 Series can also be used with a MT-200
matching transformer.
