DAS Audio HQ 112.43-CX - 1600W 12-inch Passive 2-Way IP54-Rated Installation Loudspeaker with 40 x 30-Degree Coverage in ISO-Flex Black Finish

The DAS Audio HQ 112.43-CX is a high-performance 1600W passive 2-way installation loudspeaker specifically designed for applications requiring durability and reliability in various environments. With an IP54 rating, this loudspeaker is ideal for both covered and partially exposed installations, making it a versatile choice for professional audio settings such as theaters, auditoriums, and outdoor events. The robust ISO-flex black finish not only enhances the loudspeaker's aesthetic appeal but also provides exceptional protection against environmental factors.

This two-way long-throw system features a horn-loaded 12-inch low-frequency loudspeaker, the 12HQN, which is optimized for powerful bass response and efficient sound projection. The inclusion of the M-78N neodymium compression driver ensures crisp and clear high frequencies, delivering an overall frequency range of 80 Hz to 18 kHz. The combination of these components allows the HQ 112.43-CX to produce a maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 143 dB at 1 meter, making it suitable for large venues where high volume levels are required.

The HQ 112.43-CX is designed for flexible operation with selectable passive and bi-amplified modes, allowing users to configure the system according to their specific needs. The loudspeaker provides tight 40° horizontal and 30° vertical coverage angles, ensuring focused sound delivery to the audience while minimizing unwanted sound dispersion. The rotatable horns further enhance this flexibility, allowing the loudspeaker to be oriented for optimal performance in various installation scenarios.

The enclosure of the HQ 112.43-CX is constructed from high-quality birch plywood, ensuring durability while also enhancing the acoustic properties of the loudspeaker. Its trapezoidal geometry allows for efficient stacking and rigging, making installation straightforward and adaptable to different environments. The robust stainless steel rigging kit provides secure attachment points for safe and reliable deployment. The loudspeaker's design includes M10 rigging points, enabling easy mounting options for various applications.

Connectivity options on the rear panel include a speakON NL4 audio input connector and a covered barrier strip for secure connections, along with a second speakON NL4 output connector for daisy chaining additional units. The built-in high-end DSP chipsets optimize audio performance, ensuring that the HQ 112.43-CX delivers exceptional sound quality. The recommended amplifiers for this loudspeaker include the DX-100I-230, DX-100I-115, DX-80I-230, and DX-80I-115, while the INTEGRAL-M88 and INTEGRAL-MA series processors can further enhance its capabilities.

Measuring 39.0 x 27.0 x 28.4 inches and weighing 137.8 lbs (62.5 kg), the Event HQ 112.43-CX is designed to be robust yet manageable for transport and installation. The shipping carton dimensions of 42.1 x 25.6 x 29.3 inches and a shipping weight of 148.8 lbs ensure that the loudspeaker can be efficiently handled and delivered to any location where powerful, high-quality sound is needed.
