5. Installazzjoni
The PRO-HP52 horn waveguide is designed for easy bolt-on installation with compatible 2-inch compression drivers. Ensure you have a suitable compression driver with a 4-bolt mounting pattern.
5.1 Għodod Meħtieġa (Mhux Inklużi)
- Appropriate wrench or socket set for mounting bolts.
- Screwdriver (if applicable for driver terminals).
5.2 Passi ta' Installazzjoni
- Carefully unpack the horn waveguide and inspect for any damage.
- Align the mounting holes of the PRO-HP52 horn with the bolt pattern on your compatible 2-inch compression driver.
- Insert the provided bolts (or bolts supplied with your compression driver) through the horn's mounting holes and into the compression driver.
- Securely fasten the bolts, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening to prevent damage to the plastic.
- Once the horn is attached to the driver, proceed with mounting the assembled unit into your desired enclosure or panel.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The PRO-HP52 horn waveguide functions as an acoustic amplifier and disperser for a connected compression driver. Its operation is dependent on the specifications and proper connection of the compression driver it is paired with.
- Ensure the compression driver is correctly wired to your audio system's amplifier according to the driver's specific instructions.
- Verify all connections are secure to prevent signal loss or damage.
- Start with low volume levels and gradually increase to your desired listening level to avoid overdriving the compression driver.
7. Manutenzjoni u Kura
- Tindif: Uża artab, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the horn waveguide. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the chrome finish.
- Spezzjoni: Periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness. Vibrations can sometimes loosen fasteners over time.
- Ħażna: If storing the unit for an extended period, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
