OVERVIEW
The starting point from which Soundsation drew inspiration for the new Hyper 8 Street portable PA is the desire to make music everywhere you go. You don’t want and you don’t have to carry large equipment, but you also don’t want the sound quality to be compromised. Hyper 8 Street is an all-in-one solution that integrates an active 2-way coaxial speak-er, a 200W class-D amplifier and DSP with 4 presets, a mixer with 2 Mic/Line inputs, 1 Line Stereo input, and 1 channel with BT connection. Everything is packed in a sturdy, lightweight cabinet ready for any use (in a vertical position on the ground or on a 35mm support, inclined upwards or horizontally like a stage monitor). The 5,400mAh lithium battery ensures a running time of 4 hours. In short, Hyper 8 Street is the answer to the maximum freedom of expression, the desire to be together and to make music outdoors.
Main Features
- High versatility (Multipurpose and Compact)
- All-in-One System with Mixer, 240W Class-D Power Amplifier, Multiple BT Streaming (TWS – True Wireless Stereo)
- Superior Audio Quality thanks to Coaxial Transducers and Vented Design
- DSP with 4 Presets to adapt the speaker to the most frequent uses
- BT Master/Slave connection with another Hyper 8 Street units for Stereo Systems
- Lithium Battery with 4h Capacity
Rear Panel Description
Hyper 8 Street active loudspeakers have several connectors, controls, and indicators the use of which you should understand.
Mic/Line Inputs and Controls
There are 2 Mic/Line Inputs, and in this panel section it is possible to
control their level using the appropriate knobs and select the input type.
Inputs accept balanced XLR or balanced/unbalanced 1/4” (6.3mm) Jack plugs with
Mic or Line level signals. There is no Phantom Power so, in case of
microphones, please be advised the you can use all kind of dynamic
microphones, or use condenser microphones with their own battery power or
external Phantom Power source.
Note: Set the LEVEL control to the minimum before connecting an audio signal. Once the system is powered up, we recommend that the LEVEL set to midway is a good starting point.
Limiter
This LED indicates that the limiter is on when the output voltage of the
amplifier exceeds the maximum level, or when power overload is detected. Some
flashing of this LED may be normal, but if it stays on for a long time, lower
the input level.
Line Level
This knob controls the overall signal level of stereo mini-jack (3) or stereo
RCA (4).
Mini-jack Stereo Input
This stereo mini-jack plug can be used to connect mobile phones, tablets,
computers, etc. Please use knob number 2 to adjust its level.
RCA Stereo Input
These are unbalanced RCA pin jacks that can be used to connect any external
stereo device such as MP3 Players, CD players, Mixers, etc. Please use knob
number 2 to adjust its level.
Bluetooth Pair Button AND LEVEL
Soundsation HYPER 8 Street features True Wireless Stereo (TWS) BT linking.
This means that you can link 2 units together to play in true stereo
wirelessly.
BT-HOLD TWS button is used to pair with Bluetooth-capable devices, such as
mobile phones, tablets, and laptops; while Level knob adjusts the volume.
Below a quick de-scription of the setup procedure.
- Switch ON the HYPER 8 Street speaker; the LED above BT-HOLD TWS button flashes while power is on.
- Press and hold the BT/TWS button on one of the units for 2 seconds. The BT indicator Led will flash intermittently.
- On your device (mobile phone, tablet, etc.), access your system setting page, search for “Hyper-8” device (no password required) and follow the BT pairing procedure.
- Once the primary unit is paired to your BT device, press the BT/TWS button for 1 second. The BT indicator Led will continue flashing and the primary device will au-tomatically pair with the secondary device unit. Once paired, the Led will remain lit.
- All playback functions are controlled by your BT device. You can set the volume on the units independently by turning the LEVEL knob below each BT/TWS button.
DSP Presets
Four presets are included to optimize the response of the cabinet and suit
your needs. Cycle through them using the MODE button. The corresponding Led
beside the button will lit when selected.
- Music: A bass lift with a flat mid to high response.
- Monitor: A LF and HF roll-off with a slight mid band cut for clarity.
- LIVE: Similar to the Music preset with the LF lift frequency shifted.
- Speech: A bass roll-off with flat mid and upper frequencies.
Note: The EQ setting is stored and recalled following a power cycle.
Mix Out
It is a MONO Output with unbalanced Line-Level signal. It contains a mix of
all inputs and all controls.
Master LEVEL
This controls the overall level of the speaker. Set this knob to a minimum
before connecting an audio signal. Once the system is powered up, we recommend
that the MASTER is set to midway as a good starting point. Then you can adjust
according to your needs.
Battery Status
When you connect the power cable, you can check battery charge (even without
switching the unit on) basing on how many of the four LEDs are on. When charge
level is below 25%, the red LED flashes and indicates that you need to re
charge the battery as soon as possible.
AC Adapter Connection
Connect the device to the supplied power adapter, and then to a mains outlet.
Be sure that mains voltage corresponds to the adapter input voltage (within
110-240VAC).
Power Switch
Switch up to turn the speaker on, and switch down to turn it off. Make sure
the level control is down before you turn it on.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
You will need several cables for the various connections to and from the speaker. See the pictures below that show the internal wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high quality cables. You can, of course, also connect unbalanced equipment to balanced inputs. Use either mono and stereo jack, making sure ring and collar are connected together (or pins 1 & 3 in the case of XLR connectors).
Balanced use of XLR connectors
