Introduction

Designed with the latest technology in line array speaker systems, the HyperSpike® LineWave is optimized to produce clear and authoritative voice commands and powerful tones never before possible within reverberant environments. The beam forming capability of the LineWave speaker allows even coverage across the listening plane while focusing the acoustic pattern away from surfaces that cause unwanted reflections. This technology is essential for achieving optimum levels of speech intelligibility within reverberant spaces. The result is clear and intelligible direct sound that ensures critical messages are heard and understood.
The LineWave is ready to be installed in either indoor or outdoor applications, and can be configured to operate in 25V, 70V, or 100V distributed audio or 16, 8, or 4 Ohm direct drive applications. Available in four different sizes, the LineWave offers exceptional scaling capabilities for any size installation.

Part Number Breakdown
The LineWave is available with either 2, 4, 8, or 16 speakers and is offered in several color options. The following breakdown describes the model number configurations:

• Note: The LineWave speaker is UL 1480A certified when powered as a direct drive unit. When powered with accessory transformer 72575B-80X or 72542B-80X the unit is UL 1480 certified.

Installation

• LineWave speakers are by default configured as 4Ω, 8Ω, or 16Ω loudspeakers, however, an optional line matching transformer is available if it is desired to connect the LineWave to a Distributed Audio system. LineWave loudspeakers are approved for use with 25V, 70V, and 100V amplifiers. When configured for 25V, 70V, or 100V input, the LineWave includes a DC blocking capacitor to facilitate DC speaker supervision.
• All LineWave systems utilize an outdoor rated SJOOW cable for electrical connections. To connect your LineWave speaker to an amplifier, route the cable to an appropriate junction box, or other connector, as approved by local electrical codes and standards. For ease of installation into a junction box, a Strain-Relief Cord Connector is included.
• Note: In the United States reference National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72) for installation standards.
• Note: In Canada reference CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Section 32, for installation standards.

4Ω, 8Ω, and 16Ω System Overview
LineWave Models 90243A-801, 90243-802, and 90243A-803 (16Ω, 8Ω, and 4Ω respectively) provide a six foot SJOOW-18/2 cable for amplifier interconnection. Refer to the images in this section for polarity information.
LineWave Model 90243A-804 provides a six foot SJOOW-18/4 cable wired as two 4Ω channels for amplifier interconnection. If your amplifier is capable of driving a 2Ω load, these channels may be tied in parallel on a single amplifier channel. Refer to the images in this section for polarity information.

Distributed Audio System Overview
An optional 25V/70V/100V transformer allows the LineWave to be connected to 25V, 70V, or 100V distributed audio networks. It has four field-selectable power taps on the provided terminal block that allow the output SPL to be tuned to specific applications. The 25V/70V/100V transformer assembly also has an integrated DC blocking capacitor that allows amplifiers to conduct DC circuit supervision. The taps can be selected by wiring 25/70/100V input lines to the appropriate terminal block contacts, as shown in the wiring diagrams included in this section. Once the system is mounted, reference Section 3 for tables detailing the power draw and output SPL of LineWave speakers when using the available transformer tap settings.
Note: Section 1.2 lists the 25V/70V/100V transformers which are available for each model of LineWave loudspeaker.
Note: Terminal Block is rated for 22-14AWG wire

25V/70V/100V Transformer – Recommended Hole Locations and Alignment
In order to connect the LineWave’s SJOOW cable to the transformer assembly, utilize the included Strain-Relief Cord Connector. This connector requires a 0.740” hole to be drilled in the transformer assembly. Consult the following recommended hole locations before drilling

The orientation of the transformer cover is important to maintaining a water tight seal. Refer to Figure 5 to confirm alignment before replacing the transformer cover.

72542B-80X Circuit Breaker Reset
Transformer 72542B-80X has an integrated circuit breaker that protects itself from line surges and short circuits. The circuit breaker is located inside the transformer housing near the capacitor. If the breaker would trip, follow the steps below:

1. Remove the transformer housing lid.
2. Push to reset the breaker (the button on the breaker should push in and stay).
3. Install the transformer housing lid.

Wall Mounting
Hardware intended to mount LineWave loudspeakers to a wall surface is included with every purchase.

72544B-802 Wall Mounting Kit

72544B-802 – Wall Mounting Kit Installation:
Reference the following instructions to install a LineWave 90243A-801 or 90243A-802 on a wall surface:

1. Fasten L Bracket (Part B) to the wall surface using appropriate fasteners for the wall, according to local codes and safety practices. Wall fasteners are not included in the mounting kit.

2. Insert two T-Nuts (Part H) into the slot on the back of the LineWave and attach Pivot Nub
   (Part A) using two 1” long screws (Part J).

3. Mount the LineWave by connecting Pivot Nub to L Bracket using flat washer (Part D) and 5/8 long screw (Part G).

4. To aim the speaker left or right, loosen the 5/8 long screw (Part G) and pivot the unit to the desired position. Once the speaker is in the appropriate position, re-tighten screw.

72544B-801 – Wall Mounting Kit Installation:
Reference the following instructions to install a LineWave 90243A-801 or 90243A-802 on a wall surface:

1.  Fasten two L Brackets (Part B) to the wall surface using appropriate fasteners for the wall. Always follow local codes and safety practices. Wall fasteners are not included in the mounting kit.
   a. 90243A-803 – L Bracket recommended spacing is 20” apart.
   b. 90243A-804 – L Bracket recommended spacing is 43” apart.

2. Attach two Tie Bars (Part C) to Pivot Nub (Part A) using two flat washers (Part D), 1-5/8” long screw (Part E), and lock nut (Part F) as shown in Figure 9.

3. Attach Pivot Nub Assembly from Step 2 to the top L-Bracket using flat washer (Part D) and 5/8 long screw (Part G).

4. Insert four T-Nuts (Part H) into the slot on the back of the LineWave and attach two Pivot Nubs (Part A) 1” from each end, using four 1” long screws (Part J). On the bottom Pivot Nub install set screw (Part K) as shown in Figure 11.

5. Lift the LineWave with Pivot Nubs and insert Set Screw into the hole of the bottom L Bracket.
   While still holding the LineWave, fasten the top Pivot Nub to the Tie Bars from step 1, using 1-5/8” Long Screw (Part E), two Flat Washers (Part D), and Lock Nut (Part F).
