1. Introduction
Designed with the latest technology in line array speaker systems, the HyperSpike®LineWave
is optimized to produce clear and authoritative voice commands and powerful tones never
before possible within reverberant environments. The beam forming capability of the
LineWave speaker allows even coverage across the listening plane while focusing the
acoustic pattern away from surfaces that cause unwanted reflections. This technology is
essential for achieving optimum levels of speech intelligibility within reverberant spaces. The
result is clear and intelligible direct sound that ensures critical messages are heard and
understood.
The LineWave is ready to be installed in either indoor or outdoor applications, and can be
configured to operate in 25V, 70V, or 100V distributed audio or 16, 8, or 4 Ohm direct drive
applications. Available in four different sizes, the LineWave offers exceptional scaling
capabilities for any size installation.

2. Installation
LineWave speakers are by default configured as 4Ω, 8Ω, or 16Ω loudspeakers, however, an
optional line matching transformer is available if it is desired to connect the LineWave to a
Distributed Audio system. LineWave loudspeakers are approved for use with 25V, 70V, and
100V amplifiers. When configured for 25V, 70V, or 100V input, the LineWave includes a DC
blocking capacitor to facilitate DC speaker supervision.
All LineWave systems utilize an outdoor rated SJOOW cable for electrical connections. To
connect your LineWave speaker to an amplifier, route the cable to an appropriate junction box,
or other connector, as approved by local electrical codes and standards. For ease of
installation into a junction box, a Strain-Relief Cord Connector is included.
Note: In the United States reference National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and National Fire
Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72) for installation standards.
Note: In Canada reference CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Safety Standard for
Electrical Installations, Section 32, for installation standards.

2.1. 4Ω, 8Ω, and 16Ω System Overview
LineWave Models 90243A-801, 90243-802, and 90243A-803 (16Ω, 8Ω, and 4Ω respectively)
provide a six foot SJOOW-18/2 cable for amplifier interconnection. Refer to the images in
this section for polarity information.
LineWave Model 90243A-804 provides a six foot SJOOW-18/4 cable wired as two 4Ω
channels for amplifier interconnection. If your amplifier is capable of driving a 2Ω load, these
channels may be tied in parallel on a single amplifier channel. Refer to the images in this
section for polarity information.
Figure 1. Wiring Diagram - 90243A-801, 90243-802, and 90243A-803
Figure 2. Wiring Diagram - 90243A-804
2.2. Distributed Audio System Overview
An optional 25V/70V/100V transformer allows the LineWave to be connected to 25V, 70V,
or 100V distributed audio networks. It has four field-selectable power taps on the provided
terminal block that allow the output SPL to be tuned to specific applications. The
25V/70V/100V transformer assembly also has an integrated DC blocking capacitor that
allows amplifiers to conduct DC circuit supervision. The taps can be selected by wiring
25/70/100V input lines to the appropriate terminal block contacts, as shown in the wiring
diagrams included in this section. Once the system is mounted, reference Section 3 for
tables detailing the power draw and output SPL of LineWave speakers when using the
available transformer tap settings.
Note: Section 1.2 lists the 25V/70V/100V transformers which are available for each model of
LineWave loudspeaker.
Note: Terminal Block is rated for 22-14AWG wire

2.3. 25V/70V/100V Transformer –Recommended Hole Locations and Alignment
In order to connect the LineWave’s SJOOW cable to the transformer assembly, utilize the
included Strain-Relief Cord Connector. This connector requires a 0.740” hole to be drilled in
the transformer assembly. Consult the following recommended hole locations before drilling.
Figure 3. 72575B-801 Recommended Hole Locations, shown in red dashed boxes

2.4.72542B-80X Circuit Breaker Reset
Transformer 72542B-80X has an integrated circuit breaker that protects itself from line
surges and short circuits. The circuit breaker is located inside the transformer housing near
the capacitor. If the breaker would trip, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the transformer housing lid.
2. Push to reset the breaker (the button on the breaker should push in and stay).
3. Install the transformer housing lid.
