Description
Download Manual The HP82-EZ-WH is an 8in coaxial open-ceiling speaker engineered to deliver clear speech and music reproduction in open plenum and open-ceiling spaces. It combines a high-output 8.0in low-frequency driver and a 19mm silk dome high-frequency driver to cover a wide bandwidth. The speaker is weatherized for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations and is paintable to match room finishes.
Key features include BroadBeamHP Ring technology that improves high-frequency dispersion and an integrated 6-position tap selector with transformer bypass for 25V / 70.7V / 100V systems. The HP82-EZ includes a built-in hanging bracket and cover plate to enable secure hanging or direct-to-conduit mounting. The enclosure is made from glass-fiber reinforced injection molded ABS for durability in a range of environments.
Performance metrics show a frequency response of 100Hz to 22kHz (-3 dB at 110Hz) and sensitivity in the low 90s dB at 1 W / 1 m, delivering a maximum SPL of 110 dB at 1 m. Power handling is rated at 64W RMS continuous with 128W program capacity. Coverage is wide and consistent across low and mid frequencies to ensure even coverage in open-ceiling areas.
Connectivity is handled through a four-position ceramic terminal connector and an easy-access rotary tap switch that includes a transformer bypass position for low-impedance operation. The tap selector supports multiple distributed audio system voltages and allows integrators to select the appropriate tap quickly. The nominal impedance is 16 ohm when used in low-impedance mode.
The HP82-EZ-WH is suited to shopping centers, transportation hubs, retail ceilings, and outdoor covered areas where intelligible voice and background music are required. Its weatherized components and durable grille make it practical for environments that see occasional moisture or dust exposure. The paintable finish and compact profile help the speaker blend into architectural ceilings while maintaining acoustic performance.
Installation is simplified with the included hanging bracket and screw-on cover plate that lock to conduit for secure mounting – reducing installation time and hardware needs. The grille is powder-coated aluminum and the enclosure resists environmental wear. Overall construction and a built-in thermal fuse improve reliability and safety in commercial installations.
