  • Page 6 Power -Cord Protection Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon them or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, and the point where they exit from the Amplifier Unit.
  • Page 7 Connecting When you connect this speaker to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the supply source. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the user's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making the connections.

  • Page 9 3) Inputs and Controls HR4 Master Volume The Master Volume allows trimming the speaker input gain when desired.
  • Page 10 4) Input Selection and Legends LED 1 –when illuminated indicates preset selected requires an analog signal LED2 – when illuminated indicates preset selected requires an AES-EBU digital signal LEDS 3 & 4 - will be illuminated or dark in combinations specified in the legend above To indicate which of the 4 presets is currently active.
  • Page 11 Selecting Presets Using a small diameter blunt tool (i.e. plain end of a cotton swab), depress the LED Selector pushbutton for a short (1/2 second or less) duration. Each press will toggle the LEDS into different flashing sequences that will match the legend above. When the desired sequence is flashing, depress the switch for a full second.
  • Page 12 5) HR4S & S12A / Physical Setup HR4 & S12A Sub-Bass Combine forming HR4S (Stand not included or required)
  • Page 13 Some consoles will not afford a safe support the HR4, and we generally recommend using the Sound Anchor ADJ2 for this. The HR4 is easily positioned on the ADJ2 platform and can be rotated safely as its center of gravity falls well within the platform’s generous footprint.
  • Page 14 Aiming more outward, the Stereo-Zone™ widens but the result is more sound impacting the sides of the studio environment, changing the overall sound of the space. It is up to the HR4 owner or studio designer to choose what works best.
  • Page 15 The HF horizontal pattern of the HR4 (S) is largely controlled by the HF horn walls. There is a very easy on- site test for aiming: If you can see the little “dot” or circle at the entrance to both HF horns, you will be in the stereo-zone.
  • Page 16 HR4 & HR4S are perfect for any teaching environment. Its 100 degree dispersion pattern allows everyone to hear the full stereo mix in great detail. Below, an almost zero-aiming-angle achieves a wide Stereo-Zone for a classroom.
  • Page 17 6) Signal Flow 2-Way & 3-Way The HR4 is configured as a 2-way system with no programmed roll-off in the low end response. There is a factory preset installed that will allow the speaker’s low frequency response to be extended by adding a sub- bass cabinet.
  • Page 18 7) Inputs and Controls S12A The Power Switch (toggle) has three positions. 1.) In the left most position the unit is powered OFF. 2.) In the center position the unit is in Auto mode. It can be powered on uniting the 12V trigger inputs or by feeding audio into the input XLR.
  • Page 19 Inputs and Controls S12A GAIN is the volume control. A suggested starting position is 12 o’clock when matched with HR5 speakers. Adjust up or down to suit positioning in your room. (Closer to a wall or a corner on the floor will increase the low frequency response.
