The TOA HX-5B-WP is a 2-way modular variable dispersion line array speaker rated IPX4 splash-proof for outdoor and semi-outdoor fixed installations. Delivering 600W continuous program power at 8, each unit combines four 4.72″ (12 cm) cone-type woofers and twelve 1″ balanced dome tweeters in a polypropylene enclosure with stainless steel brackets and hardware. Vertical coverage angle is adjustable on-site to 15, 30, 45, or 60 to precisely control directivity in large reverberant spaces, outdoor venues, or high-noise environments. Horizontal coverage is a consistent 100 regardless of vertical setting.

Designed for under-eave, outdoor amphitheater, and stadium applications, the HX-5B-WP operates from -15C to +50C and withstands water splashing from any direction (IPX4). Up to four units can be stacked vertically for extended coverage. The optional MT-200 matching transformer adds 70.7V line support with 30, 60, 100, and 200W taps. Input connections include two parallel-wired speakON NL4 sockets plus an M4 screw terminal for pass-through to additional units. Stainless steel wall, ceiling, and rigging accessories are available separately.

Typical Applications

The TOA HX-5B-WP is suited for outdoor amphitheaters and stadiums, covered plazas and transit terminals, theme parks and sports facilities, houses of worship with outdoor overflow areas, school athletic fields, and any installation requiring weather-resistant, high-directivity sound reinforcement with precise pattern control.

• What does IPX4 mean for this speaker? IPX4 means the speaker is protected against water splashing from any direction. Install all speaker modules facing downward as specified by TOA for proper drainage and protection.
• Can the vertical coverage angle be changed after installation? Yes the modular design allows on-site adjustment to 15, 30, 45, or 60 using the included hex wrench, without replacing any components.
• Is the HX-5B-WP compatible with 70V/100V distributed PA systems? Yes, with the optional MT-200 matching transformer, which provides 30, 60, 100, and 200W taps for 70.7V line applications.
• How many units can be stacked? Up to four HX-5B-WP units can be stacked vertically using available rigging accessories to increase output and extend vertical coverage.
• What is the difference between HX-5B-WP and HX-5W-WP? Only the color HX-5B-WP is black and HX-5W-WP is white. Both share identical acoustic and weather-protection specifications.
• What mounting accessories are available? TOA offers ceiling (HY-CW1WP), wall (HY-WM1WP, HY-WM2WP), rigging frame (HY-PF1WP), and extension bracket (HY-CN1B-WP) options, all made from stainless steel for outdoor use.
