HP890i Open-Ceiling Speaker
Technical Information for System Engineers
Applications
Engineered for installations requir-
ing full-range background/foreground
music plus paging, the HP890i delivers
a smooth and even coverage pattern.
Ideal for warehouses, gyms, aerobic
rooms, airports, super stores, arenas,
theme parks, transportation hubs,
shipping centers, stadiums and other
high-SPL or long-throw applications.
For applications where additional bass
is required, SoundTube’s RS1001i-II-T
10-inch subwoofer may be used with
bass down to 38 Hz.
BroadBeamHP
®
Wide
Dispersion Technology
SoundTube’s proprietary Broad-
BeamHP® technology incorporates
a high-frequency compression driver
with a 1-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 8 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.

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.

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 analyzed according to ASTM, ISO
and AES standards using EASRA, TEF
and MLSSA. Full balloon, data includ-
ing both phase and magnitude, are com-
piled into a variety of formats, including
EASE 4.x, GLL and CLF.
Architectural Specifications
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 203
mm (8.0 in.) low-frequency transducer and
a 36 mm (1.42 in.) high-frequency compres-
sion driver (1.0 inch exit) with a BroadBeam
HP® waveguide and a crossover network
installed in the ported enclosure. The low-
frequency voice coil diameter shall be 34
mm (1.34 in.).
Performance specifications of a typi-
cal production unit shall be as follows:
Useable frequency response shall extend
from 65 Hz – 22 kHz (-10 dB). Measured
sensitivity (2.83-volt input, 1 meter)
shall be at least 94.0 dB. The speaker
shall have a nominal impedance of 8
ohms. The speaker shall be available
for 25-, 70.7- and 100-volt modes and
shall include a five-position tap switch
with a voice coil direct position. The
frequency-dividing network shall have
a crossover frequency of 2.5 kHz with
slopes of 12 dB per octave (2nd order)
for the low- and high-pass filters. Rated
power capacity shall be at least 125
watts continuous (RMS) and conform to
EIA-426-B testing. Maximum continu-
ous output at 1 meter shall be 115.0 dB.
The low-frequency transducer shall
have a treated fiber cone with cloth sur-
round. The high-frequency transducer
shall be a compression driver with a
1-inch exit.
Installation for the HP890i shall be
by aircraft cable affixed to the speaker
chassis via an integrated snap hook. For
seismic and safety redundancy, a sec-
ondary aircraft cable shall be included.
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
applications and have a weather-resis-
tant 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 437.6 mm (17.23
in.) in height by 376.4 mm (14.82 in.) in
diameter and weigh no more than 12.2 kg
(26.8 lbs.). The HP890i shall include hang-
ing hardware, Euroblock connector and
weather-resistant terminal boot.
The system shall be the SoundTube
HP890i with hanging hardware for both
low- and high-impedance applications.
