FEATURES
• Neutral sonic quality: Carefully designed and matched loudspeaker drive units are used to give you
exceptional performance and many years of reliable, trouble free operation.
• High quality loudspeaker components are used throughout the range. Low frequency drivers are
specied for high sensitivity and durability, while high frequency drivers are selected for consistent and
reliable performance.
• High frequency protection system: Thermal overload circuits operate on all two-way products to
prevent damage to the HF drive units from both transient peaks and long term heating effects.
• Professional appearance: iD-HP series enclosures suitable for live sound and DJ applications as well as
permanent installations.
• Wide dispersion: iD-HP series cabinets are designed to give wide and even dispersion patterns in order
to maximise sound coverage over a given area from a single loudspeaker. Each two-way product
features a rotatable HF horn are allowing horizontal or vertical mounting/operation.
• Monitor Mode: A wedge angle is built into each 2 way product, allowing the loudspeakers to be
placed on their sides to perform monitor duties. Don’t forget to rotate the horn.
• Near or Far? Each two-way iD-HP cabinet features a NEAR/FAR switch, allowing you to decide the best
HF setting for the situation at hand.
• Solid construction: All iD-HP series cabinets are built from high grade, multilayer plywood and are
nished in a durable matt textured paint.
• Pole mount and tripod stand use is facilitated by the provision of integral 35mm pole mount ttings in
both two-way and low extension products.
• NL4MP connectors are tted to all iD-HP series cabinets, enabling simple and easy hook-up as well
providing loop-in/loop-out facilities to additional enclosures.

CONNECTIONS
Located on the rear panel of each loudspeaker you’ll nd 2x NL4 speakon connection points. Use either of
the two connection points to connect the loudspeaker to an amplier.
Note: You may use the second NL4 connection to link to another loudspeaker. Take note of your
impedance load as to not overload the connected amplier.
Speakon Wiring
The loudspeaker connectors are wired pin 1+ and pin 1-
2 + Not used
2 - Not used
Speaker Cable
The gauge of speaker cable should be the heaviest gauge where practical to reduce transmission power
loss from the connected amplier.
4.00 mm2 cable is a popular gauge for low extension products. A gauge smaller than 2.5 mm2 should be
avoided when wiring the iD-HP15SUB and iD-HP18SUB products.
SPEAKER MOUNTING
The iD-HP15SUB and iD-HP18SUB are a ground-based
design. They were not designed to be own at height.
Cabinet Stacking
Users may stack multiple sub enclosures together.
Note: Users must ensure the cabinets are strapped
and/or secured correctly to prevent the stack from
toppling over.
Top Hat Mounting
Each sub model comes equipped with a 35mm top
hat mount installed into the top of the cabinet. Use
a sub-satellite mounting pole to couple a mid/hi box
with your sub.
