QSC HPR152F Manual
The HPR Series offers performers the power,
technology and legendary reliability of QSC
amplification combined with the simplicity
and convenience of powered loudspeaker
systems. Whether your application is vocal
reinforcement, dance music or full-tilt rock
and roll sound, there’s an HPR speaker
system for you.
Every HPR model is built around a high-power,
reliable QSC power module using the same
top-quality components and design standards
as QSC rack-mount amplifiers. Thick aluminum
heat sink extrusions with deep fins provide
mechanical strength and plenty of surface
area to keep the module running cool. While
many powered speaker amplifier modules
use low-cost “chip amps”, the HPR series
features discrete component designs that
deliver the best possible performance even
when pushed to the limit. The power modules
incorporate sophisticated signal processing
functions carefully tailored to the loudspeaker
system. Each amplifier channel includes its
own limiting with the parameters individually
optimized for the frequency band.
All HPR models are constructed of 13-ply birch.
The speaker components are protected by a
heavy 16 gauge perforated steel grille with
a distinctive and professional appearance. A
grille-mounted power LED may be disabled by
means of a rear-panel switch when desired.
The bi-amplified 15" 2-way HPR152F is a
versatile speaker that is at home in nearly any
sound reinforcement setting. A high-power
low frequency driver with a 3" voice coil
provides extension down to 48 Hz. The 1.75"
(diaphragm) compression driver on a 90° x
60° horn delivers smooth high frequencies up
to 20 kHz. The power module includes a 100
Hz high-pass filter (HPF) for use in subwoofer
equipped systems.
The HPR153F 3-way loudspeaker is a
great choice when the warmth, clarity and
projection of a horn-loaded mid-range design
is desired. The 15" low frequency driver
provides extension down to 37 Hz while
the 6” mid-range driver seamlessly handles
the critical vocal region. A 1.4" (diaphragm)
compression driver delivers brilliant top end
response.
For high-level dance music or reinforcement
of bass instruments and kick drum, an HPR
series subwoofer will add low frequency
extension and power to any sound system.
Both HPR subwoofers use a 700 watt QSC
amplifier. Flexible input signal processing
and connectivity allow the subwoofers to be
used in systems consisting of a single sub
and two tops or larger systems employing
multiple subwoofers. The signal processing
complement includes a stereo electronic
crossover with XLR line-level outputs for
connection to any powered two or three-way
mid/high speaker.
When the requirement is for compact size
and tight, punchy low-end, the single 15"
HPR151W subwoofer is the answer. The
HPR151W is capable of producing 133 dB
peak SPL with frequency response down to
43 Hz and sound quality that rivals many
18" subwoofers. A top mounted 35mm pole
socket is provided.
The HPR181W single 18" subwoofer offers
truly impressive low frequency extension and
output. The 4" voice coil driver produces
134 dB SPL peak, at 1 meter with frequency
response down to 39 Hz. The HPR181W also
includes a top mounted 35mm pole socket
and heavy-duty 3" casters to facilitate load-in
and load-out.
