High frequency contour switch, Woofer | a/d/s/ HT300iw, HT400iw

high frequency contour switch

A 3-position switch located on the tweeter plate serves as a high frequency contour control. The upper position offers a “normal” response suitable for most applications. The bottom position provides the most output and is recommended for off-axis listening or if the speakers are mounted very high. The center position provides the least and is recommended for reflective “bright” rooms. The upper position is the best starting point. Due to room acoustics and/or personal preference, you may prefer either of the other positions. Be sure to try all of these positions and decide on your preference before installing the grills. If you find it necessary to re-adjust the tweeter levels after the grills have been installed, please follow the removing the grille section on page 6.

woofer

The HT series incorporates the use of a 5 1/4” woofer with a proprietary diaphragm made from a spherical inverted dome sandwiches to a copolymer cone, and utilizing a strontium ferrite magnet structure for well-damped, extended bass.

advanced industrial design

In the world of in-wall speakers, most competing products can be categorized by their incredible degree of similarity. Regardless of the manufacturer, product offerings are limited to the same style of molded plastic chassis, the same types of mounting systems, similar drivers and the same limited performance capability. The HT series is a striking exception to this trend. Using the most advanced injection-molded driver technology available, it outperforms all others in its category. Attractively styled in a neutral off- white finish, it can be painted to perfectly match any wall.

aluminum extrusion mounting side-rails

The advantage to this design is an incredibly rigid, durable mounting system that runs the entire length of the

speaker from top to bottom. The mounting brackets do the same. As a result, the speaker is tightened to the wall over the full length of both of its sides.

quick & easy post-construction installation

Thanks to the aluminum extrusion mounting side-rails, installation couldn’t be easier. Cut out the hole, insert the

speaker, and tighten the screws. That’s all there is to it.

engineered for critical music listening

While it is believed by many that in-walls do not do the best job of reproducing audio, a/d/s/ pushed the envelope in engineering this line of in-walls. From beginning to end, the HT series was engineered to deliver the best

possible sonic reproduction.

d’Appolito array (HT400iw & HT800iw only)

The d’Appolito array offers symmetrical and uniform dispersion making it possible for horizontal or vertical installation adding appeal for the home-theatre enthusiast.

“2 1/2-way” crossover (HT800iw only)

The crossover was designed using all high quality components to create smooth acoustic slopes, while the “2 1/2-way tuning” helps to add crisp, clean bass. The two center woofers and tweeter perform exactly as the HT400iw creating a complete 2-way system. The two outside drivers are responsible only for the reproduction

of low frequencies helping to augment the bass output.

HT800IW, HT400iw, HT300iw specifications

The a/d/s/ HT800IW, HT300IW, and HT400IW are a trio of high-performance speakers designed to deliver an exceptional auditory experience for both casual listeners and audiophiles alike.

Starting with the HT800IW, this model is distinguished by its robust design and versatility. The HT800IW boasts an 8-inch woofer that produces deep, resonant bass, paired with a 1-inch silk dome tweeter for crisp high frequencies. This combination results in a balanced sound profile that enhances any listening experience. One notable feature is its low-profile design, allowing for easy integration into any room décor without sacrificing sound quality. The speaker is also equipped with advanced crossover technology that ensures seamless frequency distribution between the woofer and tweeter.

Moving on to the HT300IW, this model is particularly celebrated for its compact size and high efficiency. Featuring a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter, the HT300IW delivers impressive sound output despite its smaller footprint. Ideal for smaller spaces, it is perfect for those who desire rich sound without overwhelming their interiors. The technology behind HT300IW includes a dynamic EQ that adapts the sound output to the acoustics of the room, ensuring optimal performance irrespective of placement conditions.

Lastly, the HT400IW is a standout in the range, offering superior power handling and sound clarity. With its 6.5-inch woofer and dual 1-inch tweeters, the HT400IW is engineered to handle high volumes without distortion, making it suitable for both loud parties and quiet evenings. Advanced materials used in the construction of the woofer cone contribute to its durability and responsiveness, while the built-in protection circuitry ensures longevity.

Together, the a/d/s/ HT series showcases cutting-edge audio technologies, such as their smart mounting systems that simplify installation. Each model seamlessly integrates into various setups, allowing users to enjoy high-fidelity sound without cumbersome setups.
