Description
Download Manual The HP590i is a 5.25 inch two-way coaxial open-ceiling speaker designed to deliver high output and consistent vocal clarity in indoor and covered outdoor environments. It combines a polypropylene woofer and a convex titanium tweeter mounted on a cast-aluminum baffle to maintain sonic accuracy at high SPL. The enclosure is ported and engineered to provide reliable low-frequency response in a compact footprint.
Key features include the patented BroadBeamHP waveguide for consistent dispersion across the critical 2 to 8 kHz band, a six-position tap switch with transformer bypass for 25/70.7/100-volt systems, and SpeedClamp self-locking hanging hardware for swift installation. Weatherized components and a powder-coated steel grille extend usable environments to protected outdoor locations. The design emphasizes intelligibility and even coverage for speech and background music.
Technically the HP590i offers 80 W continuous RMS power handling and up to 160 W program power with a sensitivity of 87.5 dB measured at 2.83 V/1 m. Frequency response is 95 Hz to 22 kHz (-3 dB) and 69 Hz to 22 kHz (-10 dB). The speaker achieves a maximum SPL of 106.5 dB at 1 m and a directivity index and factor suitable for controlled coverage in distributed systems.
Connectivity is handled via a four-pin 5.08 mm Euroblock allowing individual or daisy-chain connections and a six-position rotary tap switch that supports both transformer taps and an 8 ohm bypass. The unit includes a Euroblock connector and a terminal weather boot to protect field wiring. The included hanging hardware features galvanized steel cables and an integrated SpeedClamp self-locking wire grip for secure suspension.
Typical applications include retail ceilings, hospitality spaces, transit shelters and house-of-worship fill zones where high speech intelligibility and even coverage are required. The BroadBeamHP waveguide reduces hot spots and improves edge-to-edge speech clarity across listening areas. The powder-coated grille and polypropylene driver materials help the HP590i remain stable in protected outdoor or high-humidity indoor zones.
Installation is simplified by the open-ceiling ported enclosure, included hanging kit and clearly labeled tap selector. The compact diameter and low-profile grille allow discreet mounting while providing robust mechanical rigidity thanks to the ZeroReflection enclosure technology. UL 2239 hanging cable approval and optional surface-mount bracket provide mounting flexibility to suit integrator requirements.
Overall the HP590i balances compact size with high output capability and controlled dispersion for installed audio systems. Its selectable transformer taps, weatherized components and BroadBeamHP waveguide make it an efficient choice for distributed background music and paging. The design reduces amplifier requirements while maintaining clear speech reproduction and reliable long-term operation.
