• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage. • (HX-5B-WP and HX-5W-WP only) When installing the unit in the snowy area, take appropriate measures to prevent snow from lying on the unit.
It is ideal for reproducing clear sound in spaces with long reverberation times or high background noises. The HX-5B and HX-5W are designed for indoor use, while the HX-5B-WP and HX-5W-WP are for outdoor use.
Tilt down from the horizontal. • Both the HX-5B-WP and the HX-5W-WP employ a splash-proof construction that allows them to be installed outdoors, but they should only be installed in locations where the ambient temperature is within the range of –15°C to +50°C.

8. INPUT SECTION 8.1. HX-5B and HX-5W • The 2 Speakon connectors are internally connected in parallel to the screw terminals; you can use either one. • The right table shows the pin arrangement of the Speakon NL4MP connector. • The usable connector (on the cable end) for the Speakon NL4MP is Speakon NL4FC.
9. CHANGING THE SPEAKER'S DIRECTIVITY ANGLE The speaker system's directivity angle mode is factory-preset to 60°, but this mode can be changed to 45°, 30°, or 15° by following the procedure described below. The figure on the right shows the speaker system in 60° mode. directivity angle 60°...

Step 3. Reposition the 4 bolts to the desired directivity angle, then retighten them securely. The sound coverage area can also be made asymmetrical by shifting the position of each bolt to different directivity angle. [60° mode (factory-preset)] Angle adjustment section 30°...
10. SUSPENDED INSTALLATION The speaker systems may be suspended either vertically or horizontally. [Vertical suspension] Step 1. For vertical suspension: For horizontal suspension: Remove the speaker grills on the modules at both ends of the speaker Remove the grill fixing screws using the supplied hex head wrench.

Step 2. For vertical suspension: For horizontal suspension: Remove the 4 front bar fixing bolts. (Below, lower) Place the speaker system on a workbench when doing this work. [Vertical suspension] [Horizontal suspension] Remove the 2 front bar fixing bolts. (Below, upper) Front bar fixing bolts Front bar...

Step 6. Suspend the speaker system using appropriate commercially obtained wires, chains, or anchor shackles. To mount the speaker system horizontally, rotate the speaker system's rear plate 90° from the factory-preset orientation. For details, refer to p. 5, Changing the orientation of rear plate. WARNING Run the anchor shackles, etc.
11.1. Vertical Installation Note For outdoor use, install the HX-5B-WP or HX-5W-WP in conjunction with the HY-WM1WP Speaker Mounting Bracket so that all speaker modules point downward from the horizontal. Failure to do so could adversely affect their water-resistant capability, leading to malfunction.
13. COMBINATION WITH THE MT-200 MATCHING TRANSFORMER Using the optional MT-200 matching transformer allows the speaker system to be connected to a high- impedance amplifier. This matching transformer is best for use when the distance between the amplifier and speaker is very long, or when multiple speaker systems are parallel-connected to a single amplifier. Regarding the procedure for mounting the transformer on the speaker, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the MT-200.
