HD2
Loudspeaker Management System
(end of life)
Crystal clear sound.
For crystal clear audio from your loudspeaker system, Four Audio provides a loudspeaker management system with yet unheard audio performance, freely combinable IIR and FIR equalization and separate precision peak and RMS limiters in each output.

Variants of the HD2
The HD2 is available with and without Dante support. Additionally, blackbox devices are available with and without Dante support. For installations where a direct interface at the device is not necessary or unwanted, blackbox devices reduce costs significantly.
Modules For Customized Solutions
The HD2 is also available as a module to be mounted inside speaker cabinets or self-designed housings. Just provide voltage supply and in- and output jacks. As well as the HD2 devices, the modules are remote controllable by Ethernet. PCB sizes are 11 × 13 cm (4 outputs) or 20 × 13 cm (8 outputs).
