Key Features
• Patented BroadBeam ® waveguide tech-
nology delivers a consistent dispersion
pattern for maximum intelligibility and
edge-to-edge coverage (up to 10 kHz,
independently verified).
• One 165 mm (6.5 in.) treated fiber
woofer and one 36 mm (1.42 in.) convex
aluminum tweeter mounted to a pro-
prietary cast-aluminum M6
™
baffle and

(110.0 dB) for the sound reinforcement
and PA markets.
• Average sensitivity of 90.0 dB offers
high output capabilities and reduced
amplification costs.
• Weatherized components for indoor and
outdoor applications.
• Patented ZeroReflection™ enclosure
technology for optimal sound reproduc-
tion and cabinet rigidity.
• Includes hanging hardware with gal-
vanized steel cables and integrated
SpeedClamp
™
self-locking wire grip for
fast, easy and secure installation. Also
includes Euroblock connector
and terminal weather boot.
• Easy access 6-position selectable tap
switch for 25-, 70.7- and 100-volt applica-
tions with voice-coil-direct simplifies
ordering and inventory tracking.

Description
The HP690i is a premium 6.5-inch, two-
way, ported, high-efficiency, high-SPL
loudspeaker for distributed or 8 ohm
applications. The HP690i incorporates
a dedicated 6.5-inch treated fiber driver
and high-power compression transducer
with a BroadBeamHP® waveguide to
deliver a consistent dispersion pattern
and superb intelligibility for the fore-
ground music, sound reinforcement and
PA markets. The HP690i incorporates a
66-watt transformer with a six-position
rotary switch and voice-coil-direct posi-
tion. Hanging hardware is included and
features a fast-action SpeedClamp™ for
easy and secure installation.
