Description
The HP690i is a premium 6.5” 2-
way, ported high-efficiency, high-SPL
loudspeaker for distributed or 8 Ohm
applications. The HP690i incorporates a
dedicated 6.5” treated fiber driver and
high-power compression transducer with
a BroadBeamHP® waveguide to deliver a
consistent dispersion pattern and superb
intelligibility for the foreground music,
sound reinforcement and PA markets.
The HP690i incorporates a 66 Watt trans-
former with a 6-position tap switch and
voice coil/8 Ohm direct position. Hang-
ing hardware is included and features
a fast-action SpeedClamp™ for easy and
secure installation.
