With its advanced dual/hybrid waveguide system, high-definition drivers, and exceptional dispersion characteristics, the HR4 sets a new standard for accuracy and clarity in reference monitoring. Whether used in stereo configurations or as part of a 3-Way system, the HR4 is designed to meet the demands of discerning audio professionals and studios.
Key Features
Advanced Acoustic Design:
The HR4 Reference Monitor is a 24” integrated 2-way dual-horn system designed for accuracy and wide dynamic range in recording studio environments.
Features Ocean Way Audio's proprietary dual/hybrid waveguide system, created with high-grade 3D solid modeling for geometrically-complex surfaces.
Wide Dispersion and Sweet Spot:
Delivers an ultra-wide 100×40 degree dispersion pattern, providing an unusually wide horizontal sweet spot.
Rich detail is maintained across a broad area of the listening environment, ensuring a consistent stereo image even in distant corners.
Exceptional Stereo Imaging:
The highly consistent directivity response of the speaker system ensures a consistent stereo image, contributing to accurate and detailed imaging.
Geometrically-complex surfaces enhance imaging precision, offering an immersive listening experience.
High-Definition Drivers:
HF (High-Frequency) driver is a high-definition design with excellent mechanical linearity, contributing to precise high-frequency reproduction.
LF (Low-Frequency) driver is a geometrically reinforced 8” aluminum cone within a ported cabinet, yielding optimum strength and low compression.
Seamless Driver Integration:
The two-way, self-powered design achieves seamless integration between the HF and LF drivers, providing a matched uniform frequency response from 35 Hz to 22 kHz.
Impressive Low-Frequency Response:
Despite its minimal footprint, the HR4 exhibits an exceptional low-frequency response, eliminating the need for a subwoofer in standard configurations.
Offers a frequency range of 35 Hz to 22 kHz, ensuring a comprehensive coverage of the audible spectrum.
High-Resolution Audio Support:
Capable of handling both analog and digital inputs, accepting 24-bit / 192kHz data streams for high-resolution audio playback.
Ensures precision and clarity in reproducing audio details.
Powerful Amplification:
Each channel is powered by 250 watts, providing ample power for accurate and dynamic sound reproduction.
The digital and analog inputs are complemented by the capability to accept 24-bit / 192kHz data streams.
3-Way Option for Enhanced Power:
An optional 3-Way model is available, featuring a pair of 700-watt/side 12” ported subwoofers for those seeking even greater power and low-frequency performance.
