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 .

question

Can one Crown XLi 3500 amplifier carry a pair of toa hx-5w? i.e 8 enclosures
Asked by: Andrew M.
Good combination. The amp will have plenty of headroom to safely drive the TOA arrays.

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.

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

As I am not familliar with these array speaker. are they set up to say use in a church the top speaker would get more power to reach the back of the curch the next one leass power to reach mid osf church an the low ones to have less power from Crown CDI 1000 at 70 volts to reach the front of the church. just asking?
Asked by: RJ R.
This speaker have one input, audio is distributed across all element equally, the shape and the articulation of the speaker help disperse the audio vertically from 0 to 60 degrees, but will not give different power to each element. they are all equal. if you want to use a 70V amp, you will need the MT-200 to each one, it is a 200Watt 70V transformer. TOA have multichannel Amps as well, for example if you want to use 70V you can use the DA-250DH, it is a dual channel 250W per channel, it can cover two speakers.

question

Want to replace Bose tall colum speakers with the Toa Array in a old Catholic church app. 160ft throw using a Crown CDI 1000 at 70 volts. will 2 do it or do I need 2 more to carry to the back of the church?
Asked by: RJ R.
Two of these speakers will not carry all the way to 160', you may need two more half way in the church. if you have a layout for the church, please send it over to this e-mail, I will get you a design for the system, also did you think about Subs for the system? [email protected]
