Toa HS-1200BT User manual

HS Series
Coaxial Array Speakers
DESCRIPTION
HS-1200WT/1500WT HS-1200BT/1500BT
One of the most difficult speaker requirements to satisfy is a cost-effective mid-size speaker system that offers high quality sound no
matter what the application. TOA HS Series speakers are equipped with 90°×40°directivity control. This useful feature allows tailoring
the speaker's dispersion characteristics to better suit the acoustic environment in which it is installed. The versatile HS-1200/1500
Series are compatible for use with 100V/70V lines for distributed applications. The HS Series speakers are exceptional in offering
useful features at an attractive price.
FEATURES
Large diameter woofer (12"/15") in a compact, lightweight
enclosure
With its compact dimensions and light weight, the HS Series proves
ideal for use in mid to small-size venues, including restaurants and pubs
conference rooms and lecture halls, schools and similar locations, as
well as for temporary installations.
Uniform high quality sound is made possible by mounting the
high frequency driver array in a coaxial configuration with the woofer.
• Extended bass frequencies for rich music reproduction
• Optimal sound delivery with well integrated low and high frequencies
Optimal choice for acoustical problems caused by high
ceilings
that tend to reduce the clarity of sound reproduction, such as
in sports facilities, multi-purpose halls and houses of worship.
Coaxial Tweeter Array delivers accurate directivity control
HS Series speakers are equipped with 90°×40°directivity control. Well-
balanced sound is delivered without treble attenuation to where the
speaker is aimed, filling the acoustic space with clear sound.
Versatile installation
Unobtrusive design makes an ideal choice for permanent
installations.
Optional dedicated mounting brackets facilitates speaker installs on
walls and ceilings.
Accessory handle for easy transportability
Secure floor setting
•Accessory rubber feet for straight positioning.
•Wedge-shape enclosure enables use as a floor monitor.
Lineup:
12"/15" woofer, black and white finishes models are available.
Twin input terminal sets
The speakon terminal is ideal for quick temporary installation and for
testing purposes. The screw terminals are recommended for long-term
installation.
In locations with high ceilings, wide-directivity speakers cause the audio
reaching the listeners to lose clarity due to overlapping of attenuated sounds.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
HS-1500BT/1500WT
The speaker shall be the two-way speaker with a sealed box
enclosure with polypropylene and a protective punched front
grill with a surface-treated steel plate. The speaker shall be
compatible with low and high impedance speaker systems
and include a built-in 70V matching transformer. The rear
panel shall have screwdriver-adjustable tap settings of: 60W,
30W, 15W, 7.5W and 8 ohms. The rated input shall be 60W,
the continuous pink noise shall be 100W at 8 ohms and
continuous program shall be 300W at 8 ohms. The speaker
shall feature a 38 cm (15”) woofer and a 6-balanced-dome
tweeters array with a 90°×40°dispersion. Frequency
response shall be 60 to 20k Hz, with crossover at 3k Hz.
