New Helvia Hyle series
When designing integrated audio-video systems that require high sound quality, excellent clarity across the entire frequency spectrum, and adequate sound pressure levels, the choice must necessarily fall on loudspeakers featuring multi-ply cabinets, low-impedance systems, and carefully selected components such as transducers and crossovers optimized for these objectives.
It is precisely from these requirements that the HELVIA HYLE series was created: a range of 2-way passive loudspeakers with nominal power ratings from 360 W to 1200 W, designed for professional installations where reliability, control, and tonal consistency are essential.
The HYLE range includes five models, with configurations from 2 x 6.5" up to 15" (including 8", 10", and 12"), thus covering applications from near-field and frontfill reinforcement to main PA systems in medium-sized venues. Even the most compact model, equipped with 6.5" woofers, delivers remarkable performance, with a frequency response of 75 Hz–20 kHz (-10 dB), sensitivity of 95 dB (1 W @ 1 m), and peak SPL of 117 dB. These specifications make it ideal for high-quality systems in small to medium environments without compromising message definition and clarity.
At the upper end of the range, the 15" model provides an extended frequency response of 40 Hz–20 kHz (-10 dB), 98 dB sensitivity (1 W @ 1 m), and peak SPL of 125 dB, with 600 W RMS power handling, 1200 W Program Power, and 2400 W Peak Power. This loudspeaker is engineered to deliver the sound pressure required for live performances, mid-size events, and applications demanding substantial dynamic headroom and low-frequency control.
The high-frequency section features compression drivers with 1.35" to 1.75" voice coils, loaded onto square-format horns with symmetrical drilling and constant directivity of H90° x V60°. A distinctive feature is their rotatable design, allowing optimal loudspeaker performance even in horizontal installation.
All models share the same construction philosophy: the cabinet is made of eucalyptus plywood, a robust, durable, and sustainable material that combines structural rigidity with effective resonance control, enhancing sound clarity and low-frequency response.
From a mechanical and installation standpoint, the HYLE series has been designed to be versatile and ready for use.
Each loudspeaker is equipped with a pole or tripod mount adapter, available in either a single 0° angle or dual 0° / 7° configuration depending on the model. This solution facilitates proper audience coverage without the need for additional accessories.
The cabinets feature integrated carrying handles and threaded M6 or M8 rigging points, sized according to weight and dimensions, allowing suspension or fixed installation with wide orientation flexibility. These loudspeakers adopt proven and functional architectures and technologies, where attention to detail, long-term durability, and overall product line consistency make the difference, ensuring predictable and repeatable results in any context.
Completing the HYLE ecosystem are dedicated mounting accessories. The Hyle WB20 is a professional wall bracket designed for loudspeakers up to 20 kg (44 lb), manufactured from cold-rolled steel to ensure maximum reliability and long-term durability. It offers ±90° horizontal and -5° / +30° vertical adjustment, making it particularly suitable for Hyle 6P, 8P, and 10P models.
For larger enclosures, the Hyle WB40 wall bracket is available, with a load capacity of up to 40 kg (88 lb), also made of cold-rolled steel. It provides ±40° horizontal and -5° / +35° vertical adjustment and is recommended for Hyle 12P and 15P models.
Together, loudspeakers and accessories define a complete, consistent platform ready to meet the real-world needs of designers, system integrators, and installers seeking high performance, robustness, and operational flexibility within a single product family.
