The HLA- 820V and HLA-820SxS are self-powered hybrid integrations of an eight-element J–array and a directional dipole low-frequency loudspeaker pair. This unique integration yields precise vertical control not previously possible in such a compact package. It is available in a vertical configuration (HLA-820V) or a side-by-side configuration (HLA-820SxS). The V and SxS variations are functionally identical and are offered as alternatives based on dimensional and aesthetic needs.
The line source portion contains eight proprietary 3.5” mid-range and eight high-frequency ribbon drivers. The low-frequency portion incorporates two 8” low-frequency drivers in a dipole configuration to extend vertical LF control not otherwise achieved in this compact foot print. An onboard Innovox DSP–amplifier provides 1600W of Class D power. The HLA-820 has been pre-configured for an asymmetrical 120° H by 20° V coverage pattern with vertical directivity to 240 wHz, and LF frequency response to 60 Hz.
