My church installed a pair of these in the congregational area to replace a pair of cheap 2-way 15s. The improvements was (night and day). Vocals are clear and punchy. Highs are natural , not harsh. To totally appreciate the sound of instruments through these speakers you must add the /A sub. Which we soon are going to do soon. Then the sound would be Perfecto .

Can these be used in stereo or bridged to mono or would I need two sets?
Asked by: Joseph
The Toa Electronics HX-5B Variable Dispersion Line Array Speaker use a single SpeakON or M4 terminal input connection and will not produce a stereo signal with a single unit. A pair of HX-5B, one receiving the left channel and the other receiving the right channel, would be required for a true stereo image.

question

I can only hear the hi and. Not the mid im probably connecting them wrong anyone can help me?
Asked by: Anonymous
The HX-5W is a full range speaker array that features 5 woofers. It is best to use this array with a subwoofer for a fuller sound and to minimize the impact low end frequencies can have on the relatively small 5 woofers. Another possibility is that the woofers are blown out, causing you to hear only mid and high frequencies. It would be advisable to contact TOA Product support at 800-733-4748 (option 2) for warranty claims.

question

Please can you recommend the type of amplifier and how many is required to drive this set of array
Asked by: Andrew M.
If using the HX-5W in 8 ohm mode, the Crown XLi 3500 will offer a solid power solution for a set of these units as well as the XTi 6002 which offers additional DSP features.
