Installation

Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any speaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension, cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation or placement. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term, unexpected over- loading. Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment.

Consult a licensed, Professional Engineer regarding physical equipment installation. Ensure that all local, state and national regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers and related equipment are understood and adhered to.

How They Should Be Used

HPR122i: The HPR122i was designed to sit on the floor, stage, subwoofer enclosure, be suspended, or be pole mounted on a 35mm diameter loudspeaker support pole. The pole can be part of a stand-alone loudspeaker stand or be inserted into the pole cup of the HPR151i or HPR181i. Pole length must be no longer than 31” (787mm) when supported by the HPR151i or HPR181i subwoofer.

HPR152i: The HPR152i was designed to sit on the floor, stage, subwoofer enclosure, be suspended, or be pole mounted on a 35mm diameter loudspeaker support pole. The pole can be part of a stand-alone loudspeaker stand or be inserted into the pole cup of the HPR151i or HPR181i. Pole length must be no longer than 26” (660mm) when supported by the HPR151i or HPR181i subwoofer.

Rubber feet on the enclosure’s bottom help to minimize enclosure movement during operation. Do not pole mount or stack more than one enclosure on top of the HPR151i enclosure.

HPR181i: The HPR181i was designed to sit on the floor or on the stage. A pole cup on the top of the enclosure accepts 35mm loudspeaker mounting poles. Rubber feet on the enclosure’s bottom help to minimize enclosure movement during operation. Do not pole mount or stack more than one enclosure on top of the HPR181i enclosure. As the casters will wear during normal use, it may be required to insert small foam pieces between the wheels and frames to minimize rattling at high output levels.

HPR122i WARNING!

Do not use a loudspeaker support pole longer than 31” (787mm) when supported by the HPR151i or HPR181i subwoofer. Note- each pole cup is approximately 4” (102mm) deep.
