Owner's Manual 22. Rigging Precautions: When mounting or suspending loudspeaker enclosures, it is essential that load ratings, rigging techniques, and special safety considerations be appropriate for the installation. Use only the Contents mounting/rigging points on the loudspeaker enclosure intended for this purpose. The user must determine the load requirements, dynamic loading, and any other contributing factors affecting the loudspeaker IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2 installation. The user must determine the proper design factor for INTRODUCTION 3 specific applications and the required load rating of the connection to FEATURES 3 structure. Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. HOOKUP DIAGRAMS 4 We strongly recommend the following rigging system practices: REAR PANEL FEATURES 5 • Documentation: Thoroughly document the mounting/rigging PLACEMENT 7 design with detailed drawings and parts lists. • Analysis: Have a licensed structural engineer or other qualified ROOM ACOUSTICS 7 professional review and approve the mounting/rigging design RIGGING 8 before its implementation. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS 9 • Installation: Use personnel experienced and qualified for mounting/rigging loudspeakers in accordance with and in compliance AC POWER 9 with all federal, state and local regulations. CARE AND MAINTENANCE 9 APPENDIX A: SERVICE INFORMATION 10 DANGER: Loudspeakers should be mounted or suspended only by persons with knowledge of the proper hardware and rigging techniques.

HD1531 GRAPHS AND DIMENSIONS 14 HD1531 LIMITED WARRANTY 15 Introduction Features The HD1531 Powered Loudspeaker represents the first step into portable high-definition live sound, providing precise, articulate full-range sound at the highoutput levels demanded of modern PA systems. Three Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplifiers efficiently drive 1800 Watts of total system power, providing maximum output with minimal distortion. True high-definition sound is possible thanks to an arsenal of technological innovations including our patented acoustic correction processing that was previously only available on highend stadium touring systems. This complex processing, along with a phase-coherent electronic crossover and transducer time-alignment provide unparalleled acoustic accuracy that has to be heard to be believed. The 15" neodymium woofer, 6" midrange transducer and heat-treated titanium compression driver are custom designed by the award winning engineering team at EAW, delivering the ultimate in both quality and performance. A user-adjustable 3-band contour EQ is built into the loudspeaker and features a sweepable mid frequency for precise tonal shaping. All of these high-end components are housed in a rugged, all-wood enclosure that not only protects, but allows for multiple mounting options including flying and pole-mounting. The HD1531 brings high-definition sound to the world of portable PA systems. • 1800W of ultra-efficient Class-D Fast Recovery™ amplification • LF 700W RMS / 1400W peak • MF 100W RMS / 200W peak • HF 100W RMS / 200W peak • High-definition audio processing includes: • Revolutionary patented acoustic correction algorithms • Transducer time alignment and phase correction • Precision 3-way crossover • Custom designed transducers by EAW • 15" neodymium woofer with 3" voice coil • 6" horn-loaded, high-output mid-range transducer • 1.75" compression driver with heat-treated titanium diaphragm • User-adjustable 3-band contour EQ with sweepable mid-frequency • Optimized wide-dispersion WaveFront™ high / mid horn system • Ultra-compact and lightweight • Integrated limiting and protection circuitry • Rugged all wood cabinet (15mm birch plywood) • 12 integrated fly points for horizontal and vertical rigging • Stand / pole mountable Part No. SW0738 Rev.
