VUE Audiotechnik has unveiled the latest addition to its h-Class family of high-definition, full-range loudspeakers.

The compact and lightweight h-5 combines two precision-engineered, 5-inch low-frequency transducers with a 1-inch exit compression driver that features a Truextent beryllium diaphragm at its core. VUE says beryllium technology allows the compression driver to deliver dramatic improvements in high-frequency extension and response linearity that simply cannot be matched by traditional aluminum or titanium designs. The beryllium compression driver is mounted to a new, precision horn with very wide 120° x 40° (H x V) coverage.

Dual channel, high efficiency amplifiers deliver power for both transducers while eliminating the need for cooling fans. A lightweight, fully protected, switch-mode power supply with auto voltage detection provides hassle-free worldwide operation with universal mains operation from 85V to 260V. The h-5’s drivers and electronics are housed in a birch enclosure that includes integrated M10 hanging points, and optional yoke mount and rigging hardware make easy deployment as a main system, on lighting grids, or in a variety of support configurations.

The h-5 grille is coated with a two-part, polyurethane finish that lays a transparent candy-apple red coating over a base coat of black.

Here are all the detailed specs.
