HPR122i, HPR152i and HPR153i

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 RMX Series 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 rugged 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 HPR122i, HPR152i and HPR153i also feature integrated M10 suspension points for installed applications.

The multipurpose HPR122i is equally at home as a stage monitor or main PA speaker. With available accessories, it may be pole or yoke mounted or flown in a vertical or horizontal orientation. A 12" low-frequency woofer with

3" voice coil is powered by 400 watts of

Class H power. A neodymium magnet design provides ample motor strength for low end performance without adding unnecessary weight. The 1.4" diaphragm neodymium compression driver is powered by a 100 watt, Class AB+B amplifier and is loaded on a 75º conical horn. It’s the same highfrequency driver you’ll find on the HPR153F

3-way loudspeaker system. A total of 9 threaded M10 inserts allow for several different suspension options and use with an optional yoke mount.

The bi-amplified 15" 2-way HPR152i 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 low-cut filter for use in subwoofer equipped systems. Three threaded M10 inserts allow for vertical suspension.

The HPR153i 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 36 Hz while the 6" mid-range driver seamlessly handles the critical vocal region. A 1.4" (diaphragm) compression driver delivers brilliant top end response. Three threaded M10 inserts allow for vertical suspension.

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 2-way or 3-way mid/high speaker.

When the requirement is for compact size and tight, punchy low end, the single 15" HPR151i subwoofer is the answer. The HPR151i 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 HPR181i 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 HPR181i also includes a top mounted 35mm pole socket and heavy-duty 3" casters to facilitate load-in and load-out.
