5. Instal·lació
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 Eines necessàries (no incloses)
- Appropriate wrench or socket set for mounting bolts.
- Screwdriver (if applicable for driver terminals).
5.2 Passos d'instal·lació
- 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. Instruccions de funcionament
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. Manteniment i cura
- Neteja: Utilitzeu un suau, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the horn waveguide. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the chrome finish.
- Inspecció: Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness. Vibrations can sometimes loosen fasteners over time.
- Emmagatzematge: Si guardeu la unitat durant un període prolongat, guardeu-la en un lloc fresc i sec, allunyat de la llum solar directa i de temperatures extremes.
8. Solució De Problemes
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.
- Sense so:
- Check the wiring connections between the compression driver and the ampmés viu.
- Verify the compression driver is functioning correctly (refer to its specific manual).
- Assegureu-vos el amplifier is powered on and receiving a signal.
- So distorsionat:
- Reduce the volume level to check if the compression driver is being overdriven.
- Inspect the compression driver for any physical damage or diaphragm issues.
- Ensure the horn is securely attached to the driver.
- Banya solta:
- Tighten the mounting bolts connecting the horn to the compression driver. Do not overtighten.
