5. Instalacija
The PRO-HP52 horn waveguide is designed for easy bolt-on installation with compatible 2-inch compression drivers. Ensure you have a suitable compression driver with a 4-bolt mounting pattern.
5.1 Potrebni alati (nisu uključeni)
- Appropriate wrench or socket set for mounting bolts.
- Screwdriver (if applicable for driver terminals).
5.2 Koraci instalacije
- Carefully unpack the horn waveguide and inspect for any damage.
- Align the mounting holes of the PRO-HP52 horn with the bolt pattern on your compatible 2-inch compression driver.
- Insert the provided bolts (or bolts supplied with your compression driver) through the horn's mounting holes and into the compression driver.
- Securely fasten the bolts, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening to prevent damage to the plastic.
- Once the horn is attached to the driver, proceed with mounting the assembled unit into your desired enclosure or panel.

6. Uputstvo za upotrebu
The PRO-HP52 horn waveguide functions as an acoustic amplifier and disperser for a connected compression driver. Its operation is dependent on the specifications and proper connection of the compression driver it is paired with.
- Ensure the compression driver is correctly wired to your audio system's amplifier according to the driver's specific instructions.
- Verify all connections are secure to prevent signal loss or damage.
- Start with low volume levels and gradually increase to your desired listening level to avoid overdriving the compression driver.
7. Održavanje i njega
- čišćenje: Koristite meku, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the horn waveguide. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the chrome finish.
- inspekcija: Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness. Vibrations can sometimes loosen fasteners over time.
- Skladištenje: Ako uređaj skladištite duži period, čuvajte ga na hladnom i suhom mjestu, dalje od direktne sunčeve svjetlosti i ekstremnih temperatura.
8. Otkrivanje problema
This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of the PRO-HP52 horn waveguide. Note that most audio performance issues are related to the connected compression driver or the audio system itself.
- Nema zvuka:
- Check the wiring connections between the compression driver and the amplifier.
- Verify the compression driver is functioning correctly (refer to its specific manual).
- Osigurajte ampUređaj za spašavanje je uključen i prima signal.
- izobličeni zvuk:
