HPS-5

The Heil Powered Speaker (HPS-5) is a two-way, powered speaker designed to be used with the Heil Parametric Receive Audio System Equalizer (PRAS EQ). The HPS-5 in combination with the PRAS EQ provides unmatched speech articulation and brings new dimensions to receive audio quality in amateur radio operations. The end result is a fantastic listening experience that helps pull out difficult signals and relieves ear fatigue for operators.

The HPS-5 features a low-distortion, highly efficient Class A 24-watt amplifier that drives a specially designed 5” low-frequency speaker mounted in a resonant sealed enclosure. A passive extended crossover drives a 2” high-frequency tweeter.

The HPS-5 has two rear panel audio inputs: a balanced 600 ohm XLR input and an unbalanced 1/8” input. Both inputs are adjusted by a single level control. There is also a balanced 600 ohm XLR output for daisy chaining two or more HPS-5 powered speakers.

Included with the HPS-5 is a 12-volt, 2-amp power supply, and a 2-amp fuse is mounted on the rear panel.
