Applications

The HPCF8 is a high-SPL flush-mount speaker with BroadBeamHP® dispersion technology providing a wide coverage pat- tern for in-ceiling applications. The HPCF8 is engineered for installations requiring full-range background and foreground music plus paging. A smooth and even coverage pattern makes the HPCF8 an ideal choice for use in gyms, aerobic rooms, convention centers, stadiums and other high-power in-ceiling applications.

Backcan

HPCF8 in-ceiling speakers are packaged with grille, tile bridges and backcan. HPCF8 backcan is UL listed for plenum spaces and houses the electrical sub-assembly and all connection hardware.

Crossover Network

An advanced crossover network with low-phase shift and impedance equaliza- tion generates a coherent wave front. The HPCF8 crossover incorporates UL-listed, military grade glass-epoxy board material for long-term reliability.

HPCF8 specifications

The Phase Technology HPCF8 is an advanced speaker designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts looking for high-quality sound reproduction. Renowned for its exceptional performance and innovative technologies, the HPCF8 combines modern engineering with refined aesthetics, making it a standout choice in any audio setup.

One of the main features of the HPCF8 is its hybrid design, which utilizes both a 1-inch soft dome tweeter and an 8-inch polypropylene woofer. This combination allows for a wide frequency response, ensuring that both high and low frequencies are reproduced with clarity and precision. The soft dome tweeter provides smooth treble, free from harshness, while the polypropylene woofer delivers deep, rich bass, enhancing the overall audio experience.

The HPCF8 incorporates advanced driver technology, including a powerful neodymium magnet for the tweeter, which optimizes efficiency and performance. The woofer benefits from a specially designed rubber surround, enhancing cone movement and providing accurate sound reproduction even at higher volumes. This careful engineering results in minimal distortion and a clean, balanced sound signature across all listening levels.

Another key characteristic of the HPCF8 is its sophisticated cabinet construction. The speaker features a reinforced MDF enclosure, designed to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations. This ensures that the audio remains free from coloration, allowing the listener to experience the original sound as intended by the artist. The cabinet is also finished with high-quality veneers, giving it an elegant look that complements any interior design.

The HPCF8 is designed for flexible placement options, featuring rear-firing bass ports that enhance low-frequency response without compromising the speaker's overall performance. This design allows users to position the speakers closer to walls without sacrificing sound quality, making it a practical choice for a variety of room configurations.

Moreover, Phase Technology has incorporated advanced crossover technologies into the HPCF8, ensuring that the audio signals are intelligently directed to the appropriate drivers. This helps achieve seamless integration between the woofer and tweeter, resulting in a cohesive soundstage that enhances the listener's experience.

In conclusion, the Phase Technology HPCF8 is a high-performance speaker offering excellent audio quality characterized by its hybrid driver design, advanced cabinet construction, and intelligent crossover technology. With its aesthetic appeal and remarkable sound fidelity, the HPCF8 is an ideal choice for anyone seeking to elevate their audio experience.
