Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could  
result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.  
CAUTION  
When Installing the Unit  
• Avoid touching the unit's sharp metal edge to prevent injury.  
• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the unit's power when connecting speakers.  
When the Unit is in Use  
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal  
injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.  
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. This is an indication of a  
malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate and result in a fire.  
• Do not stand or sit on, nor hang down from the unit as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting in  
personal injury and/or property damage.  
• Have the unit checked periodically by the shop from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result in  
corrosion or damage to the unit or its mounting bracket that could cause the unit to fall, possibly causing  
personal injury.  
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The TOA HX-5 series is a 2-way compact speaker system that permits both constant directivity control over a  
wide frequency range and changes in directivity. It is ideal for reproducing clear sound in spaces with long  
reverberation times or high background noises. The HX-5B and HX-5W are designed for indoor use, while the  
HX-5B-WP and HX-5W-WP are for outdoor use.  
3. FEATURES  
• Four speaker modules ensure high power and high quality.  
• The changeable orientation of each of the four speaker modules independently allows the directivity angle of  
the speaker system to be adjusted.  
• Built-in passive network ensures appropriate sound quality.  
• Ideal for both permanent and temporary installations, including both vertical and horizontal positioning.  
• Equipped with a convenient carrying handle.  
• Can be mounted directly on a wall or suspended by wire, chain or shackle with no need to use optional  
brackets.  
• Optional mounting brackets allow use in a wide variety of applications, including suspension, ceiling  
mounting, wall mounting, and speaker stand mounting. Mounting procedures are described in the instruction  
manuals enclosed with the mounting bracket or stand adapter.

4. ABOUT THE INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUITRY  
The speaker system features internal input overload protection circuitry. If an extremely high input level is fed  
to the unit, the protection circuitry automatically cuts off the signal to the tweeters.  
A drastic reduction in sound volume for the high frequency range indicates that the protection circuitry has  
been enabled.  
In such cases, simply reduce the amplifier volume. The protection circuitry will automatically reset in  
approximately 10 seconds. After reset, try to maintain the volume at a level slightly lower than before.  
Caution  
This protection circuitry does not completely protect the unit against extremely high input power levels.  
Depending on the type or duration of excessive power input, the protection circuitry might not be enabled,  
resulting in damage to the speaker element. Also, if the excessive power input continues for a long period of  
time, the circuitry may not be capable of resetting to its original condition.  
Use the system with care so that the speakers are not exposed to excessive power input.  
5. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS FOR THE HX-5B-WP AND HX-5W-WP  
Only the HX-5B-WP and HX-5W-WP are suitable for outdoor installation.  
For outdoor installation, observe the following precautions.  
• All speaker modules must point downward from the horizontal. Failure to do so could adversely affect their  
intended weather-resistant capability, leading to malfunction.

Tilt down from the horizontal.  
Tilt down from the horizontal.  
• Both the HX-5B-WP and the HX-5W-WP employ a splash-proof construction that allows them to be installed  
outdoors, but they should only be installed in locations where the ambient temperature is within the range of  
–15°C to +50°C. Exceeding the temperature range will cause the speaker to fail.

13. COMBINATION WITH THE MT-200 MATCHING TRANSFORMER  
Using the optional MT-200 matching transformer allows the speaker system to be connected to a high-  
impedance amplifier. This matching transformer is best for use when the distance between the amplifier and  
speaker is very long, or when multiple speaker systems are parallel-connected to a single amplifier.  
Regarding the procedure for mounting the transformer on the speaker, refer to the instruction manual  
enclosed with the MT-200.  
14. EQUALIZATION USING A DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR  
The speaker systems are to reproduce wide-band, high-efficiency sound even without the use of an equalizer.  
However, sound quality can be made even clearer and more dynamic with the addition of a TOA digital signal  
processor set as shown in the table.
