HP690i
Open-Ceiling Speaker
Technical Information for System Engineers
Applications
Engineered for installations requir-
ing full-range background/foreground
music plus paging, the HP690i delivers
a smooth and even coverage pattern.
Ideal for warehouses, gyms, aerobic
rooms, airports, super stores, arenas,
theme parks, transportation and ship-
ping centers, stadiums and other high-
SPL or long-throw applications.
For professional sound reinforce-
ment applications, indoors or out, the
HP690i includes a cast-aluminum M6™
motorboard, powder-coated steel grille,
durable enclosure design and terminal
weather boot.
BroadBeamHP
®
Wide
Dispersion Technology
SoundTube’s proprietary Broad-
BeamHP® technology incorporates
a high-frequency compression driver
with a 1.375-inch exit mated to a treated
fiber woofer. BroadBeamHP® technol-
ogy delivers a consistent dispersion
pattern across the upper registers of
the frequency spectrum (up to 10 kHz,
independently verified). The result is an
audio system with better edge-to-edge
coverage, reduced power needs, shorter
installation time and cost savings on
shipping and labor.
Patented SoundTube
Technologies
SoundTube Entertainment and MSE
Audio Group constantly develop new
technologies that enhance audio prod-
uct performance. SoundTube Enter-
tainment innovations are protected by
multiple U.S. and international patents,
which explicitly cover SoundTube
dispersion, enclosure and dome tech-
nologies. MSE Audio Group actively
defends its patents in order to protect
SoundTube resellers and end users.
Technical Data and
Specification Tools
Technical Data
SoundTube Entertainment strives to
provide complete and effective technical
information and data to dealers, engi-
neers and designers. All data are avail-
able from SoundTube Entertainment or
at www.soundtube.com.
Technical data and downloads
include:
EASE™ data – 3-D polar plots.
EASE™ Address – 2-D modeling for dis-
tributed systems
Autodesk® Revit® software
Tech Sheets – Technical information and
architectural specs for system engineers

speaker placement software
Data Acquisition and Verification
All data for SoundTube speakers are
independently collected from and veri-
fied by NWAA Labs (www.nwaalabs.
com) using their proprietary MACH
testing system. All data are collected
and analysed according to ASTM,ISO
and AES standards using EASRA, TEF
and MLSSA. Full balloon data including
both phase and magnitude are compiled
into a variety of formats including EASE
4.x, GLL and CLF.
Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 165
mm (6.5 in.) low-frequency transducer and a
36 mm (1.42 in.) high-frequency transducer
with a crossover network installed in the
ported enclosure. The low-frequency voice
coil diameter shall be 34.0 mm (1.34 in.).
Performance specifications of a typi-
cal production unit shall be as follows:
Useable frequency response shall extend
from 67 Hz – 22 kHz (-10 dB, half space).
Measured sensitivity (2.83-volt input,
1 meter) shall be at least 90.0 dB. The
speaker shall have a nominal imped-
ance of 8 ohms and be available for 25-,
70.7- and 100-volt modes with voice
coil direct position. The frequency-
dividing network shall have a crossover
frequency of 3 kHz with slopes of 18 dB
per octave (3rd order) for the low- and
high-pass filters. Rated power capacity
shall be at least 100 watts continuous
(RMS) and conform to EIA-426-B test-
ing. Maximum continuous output at 1
meter shall be 110.0 dB.
The low-frequency transducer shall
have a treated fiber cone with cloth sur-
round. The high-frequency transducer
shall be constructed of titanium with
waveguide.
Installation for the HP690i shall be
by galvanized steel cable affixed to the
speaker chassis via a hook. For seismic
and safety redundancy, a secondary
steel cable shall be included and attach
to the speaker chassis via #10 bolt. The
external wiring input connector shall be
a four-pin, 5 mm Euroblock for 8 ohm
or distributed systems and shall accept
from 10 – 22-gauge wire. The system
shall be for indoor and outdoor applica-
tions and have a weather-resistant boot
covering all wire connectors.
The enclosure shall be constructed of
injection-molded, glass-reinforced ABS.
The grille shall be constructed of powder-
coated steel for lasting performance in
the elements. Overall cabinet dimensions
shall be no more than 363.5 mm (14.31 in.)
in height by 307.3 mm (12.10 in.) in diam-
eter and weigh no more than 8.4 kg (18.5
lbs.).
The HP690i shall include hanging
hardware, Euroblock connector and
weather-resistant terminal boot. Optional
accessories for the HP690i include surface-
mount bracket (AC-RS-SM6), 20-foot hang-
ing cable (AC-RS-HH-20) and 10-foot split
loom tubing (AC-SLT-10) for architectural
applications.
The system shall be the SoundTube
HP690i with hanging hardware for both
low- and high-impedance applications.
