FAQ
What does HST technology do?
HST (Horizontal Splayed Tweeter) technology reduces acoustic reflections from walls by angling the tweeters horizontally and facing the woofer toward the wall, resulting in smoother, more consistent frequency response throughout the room.
How far from the wall should the Control HST be mounted?
Use the included wall bracket to position the speaker at the manufacturer's recommended distance for optimal acoustic loading and reflection elimination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the HST noise-cancellation design do?
The patented HST design eliminates unwanted reflections from the mounting wall, delivering a flatter, more consistent frequency response and clearer speech/music throughout the listening area.
Why would a large venue choose a 5.25-inch woofer over smaller drivers?
The larger 5.25-inch woofer extends bass and midrange reach, ensuring powerful, full-bodied sound in spacious conference centers, auditoriums, and large commercial installations.
How do the dual horizontally splayed tweeters improve coverage?
The tweeters are angled horizontally to spread high-frequency details evenly across a wider listening area, reducing dead zones and ensuring consistent clarity from multiple viewing angles.
Is this speaker suitable for a large corporate training facility or hotel ballroom?
Yes, with 240W continuous power and 108 dB peak SPL, it delivers robust, articulate audio for paging, presentations, and background music in large institutional and hospitality venues.
How would wall reflections typically degrade audio quality without HST technology?
Without noise-cancellation, hard wall surfaces bounce sound back, creating phase delays and coloration that muddy speech clarity and flatten musical response; HST minimizes this by design.
Can multiple Control HST speakers be used together for even larger spaces?
Yes, multiple units can be distributed across a large venue; their consistent frequency response makes them ideal for seamless integration in multi-speaker systems.
What is the estimated installation time for a wall-mounted speaker system in the GCC?
Installation duration depends on wall type and system complexity; contact Procure.ae with your venue specifications to confirm lead times and installation support availability.
Does Procure.ae coordinate with local installation partners in the UAE for large PA systems?
Procure.ae can discuss installation support options on request; provide details of your facility and installation requirements to explore available services and partnerships.
What is the continuous power requirement for the Control HST?
It requires an amplifier delivering 240W continuous power to achieve rated performance and loudness specifications.
What is the peak SPL output of this speaker model?
It delivers 108 dB peak SPL, providing sufficient volume for large institutional venues and commercial applications requiring high-output, articulate audio.
Does the white finish include any finish-specific care recommendations?
For best longevity, contact Procure.ae to confirm cleaning and maintenance guidelines for the white finish and splayed tweeter design.
