HFA SPEAKER SERIES OVERVIEW
The HFA speaker series are fully powered PA systems, designed to deliver high output and
dynamics, extreme linearity and fidelity for unrivalled performance at a very competitive price.
Entirely manufactured in Portugal, the HFA speaker series uses superb quality custom made
components, loading birch plywood enclosures coated by a scratch resistant textured paint to assure
an outstanding performance and durability.
The integration with the new DPAmplifier modules with up to 1650 Wrms, and the advanced
digital signal processing, set a new standard for distortion, noise and thermal efficiency. A surprisingly
simple handling concept lets you plug in and play straight away. Configure the system by selecting
the right preset and let the system do the rest.
Containing an asymmetric horn that ranges from 50º in the horizontal far-field to 100º in the
horizontal near-field and 50º vertical, fully rotatable, means you can use it either vertical or on its side
and still maintain the same directivity pattern (only available on HFA110, HFA112 and HFA115). To
widen the possibilities of this series, two models with different high frequency section horn were
created. The HFA212 maintains a 60ºH x 40ºV dispersion pattern, better for stacking and larger venue
applications. Where single speaker (per side) applications are required, there is the wide version of
this model, the HFA212W, which maintains a more appropriate 80ºH x 60ºV dispersion pattern. It is
also possible, in all HFA models, rotate the high frequency section horn in order to change the sound
directivity.
