The black ALA-C1 Apogee Line Array Speaker System from Bogen is a passive indoor/outdoor loudspeaker well suited to gymnasiums, cafeterias, lecture halls, community theaters, and similar small- to medium-sized venues. The wide 140° horizontal dispersion offers broad side-to-side coverage, while the more focused 25° vertical dispersion limits unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling for clearer, more intelligible sound.

Rated IP65 for weather resistance, the speaker offers an elegant and durable powder coated extruded aluminum alloy enclosure with internal ribs for added sturdiness. Housed inside are six 1" tweeters for high frequencies and nine woofers with 4" diaphragms for the mids and low-end. A 70V transformer is built in with an 8-ohm bypass option.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can these be used in stereo or bridged to mono or would I need two sets?

A: 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.

Q: 2. I can only hear the hi and. Not the mid im probably connecting them wrong anyone can help me?

A: 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.
