Introduction

Building and architectural acoustics measurements often need high, controllable excitation without adding unnecessary noise to the test environment. HD2050.20 drives the HD2050 dodecahedron or HD2050.30 facade loudspeaker with 1200 W @ 12 ohm and 2 x 530 W RMS continuous power, giving acoustic teams the output needed for demanding sound insulation and room acoustics work.
 
The integrated white/pink noise generator reduces external equipment needs, while the auxiliary input allows external generator signals such as sine sweeps. A wireless remote control can operate the internal generator up to 100 m away, supporting practical source control during field measurements.
 
For site-specific response tuning, the internal DSP works with PodWare software via USB. Users can manage mute, gain, parametric EQ, shelving filters, HP and LP filters and delay, then load user setups into the amplifier memory. Factory presets for HD2050 and HD2050.30 help match the amplifier to the connected source.

Standards-ready
Dodecahedron directivity complies with EN ISO 140-3:2006 and EN ISO 3382:2001.
High sound power
More than 122 dB re 1 pW supports demanding insulation and room acoustics tests.
On-site tuning
On-site tuning
Podware adjusts the DSP with 8-band parametric EQ, shelf filters, HP/LP filters and delay.
Facade coverage
HD2050.30 delivers 129 dB SPL @ 1 m across 70 Hz-20 kHz for facade insulation tests.
Low-frequency reach
HD2050.40 adds 130 dB SPL @ 1 m from 45 Hz-120 Hz for large rooms and high insulation.

Features

Sound source options

The system includes the HD2050 dodecahedron, HD2050.20 digital amplifier/noise generator and related accessories. It can also operate with the HD2050.30 facade loudspeaker or the HD2050.40 subwoofer.

Noise generation

The HD2050.20 includes an internal white and pink noise generator with manual level control. An auxiliary input allows operation with an external generator for signals such as sine sweeps.

DSP presets

The amplifier provides selectable presets for the HD2050 dodecahedron and HD2050.30 facade loudspeaker. A separate User DSP function loads a correction curve created in Podware software.

Remote operation

The integrated HD2050.20R remote control kit operates the internal noise generator from up to 100 m. The system uses a portable transmitter and an integrated receiver with external antenna.

Mounting

The HD2050.1 stand is retractable and extendible from 1300 mm to 2050 mm and includes wheels. The HD2050.30.2 support positions the facade loudspeaker at 45° on the ground or on the stand.

Connections

Source connections use Neutrik speakON connectors. The amplifier includes Neutrik XLR output, Combo input, NL4FC speakON output, powerCON AC power connection and USB for PC-based DSP management.
