Omnitronic HS-62 Druckkammerlautsprecher horn loudspeaker model HS-62, MPN 80710825, horn driver for PA and public address systems

The Omnitronic HS-62 Druckkammerlautsprecher is a horn-style high-frequency driver designed for PA, public address and sound reinforcement systems. As a pressure-chamber horn transducer, it is made to mate with compatible horns or waveguides to shape dispersion and increase the efficiency of high-frequency reproduction. The HS-62 is intended for installations and portable systems where focused, directional high-frequency output is required to improve speech intelligibility and presence in a mix.

Advantages

The HS-62 provides controlled high-frequency directivity thanks to its pressure-chamber design, allowing installers and sound engineers to target sound where it is needed and reduce off-axis reflections. Its horn-coupling capability increases acoustic efficiency compared with direct-radiating drivers, which can reduce amplification requirements for the same perceived loudness. The compact horn driver form factor eases integration into horn assemblies and waveguides used in PA cabinets and fixed public address installations.

Suitable for

• Public address systems in halls, schools and commercial buildings
• Portable PA and DJ rigs requiring clear HF projection
• Installed sound reinforcement where controlled dispersion is needed
• Replacement or upgrade of horn driver components in compatible loudspeaker systems

When it may not be suitable

The HS-62 is focused on high-frequency reproduction and needs to be matched with an appropriate horn or waveguide and suitable crossover network; it is not a full-range loudspeaker and will not provide bass or low-mid frequencies on its own. For applications that require wide, uniform coverage without pronounced directionality, a broader-dispersion driver may be more appropriate. Also, if a system cannot provide a correct crossover or power handling for a horn driver, integration can be problematic.

Key specifications

• Driver type: pressure-chamber (horn) high-frequency transducer
• Intended use: PA, public address and sound reinforcement
• Mounting: designed for integration with horns or waveguides
• Acoustic behavior: focused, directional high-frequency output for improved projection
• Form factor: compact horn driver suitable for PA cabinets and installed systems

How to use

Install the HS-62 into a compatible horn or waveguide following the horn manufacturer's mechanical and acoustic alignment instructions. Use an appropriate high-pass crossover to protect the driver from low-frequency content and to ensure a smooth transition to the mid/bass driver. Verify impedance and power handling compatibility with the amplifier and crossover to prevent damage. Aim the assembled horn toward the audience or listening area to take advantage of the driver’s directional characteristics.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm mechanical compatibility with the horn or waveguide you plan to use
• Check impedance and power handling to match your amplifier and crossover
• Ensure the driver’s directional characteristics suit the coverage area and installation type
• Plan for appropriate crossover settings and high-pass protection to avoid low-frequency overload

Usage recommendations

Use the HS-62 with a properly sized horn or waveguide and a correctly set crossover to achieve clear, intelligible high-frequency output. Position and aim the horn to minimise reflections from side walls and ceilings for improved speech clarity in PA environments.
