PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Pioneer HP-016A is the super tweeter drive unit fitted to Pioneer’s HPM-150 and HPM-1500 four-way floorstanding speakers, produced from 1977 to 1981.

It uses Pioneer’s High Polymer Molecular film technology – the “HPM” in the speaker name – and radiates over a wide 270° arc. In the HPM-150 the super tweeter takes over above roughly 8.5 kHz, extending the system response to 25 kHz.

This listing is for a pair of HP-016A super tweeters, ideal as replacements for HPM-150 / HPM-1500 speakers.

HQAUDIOS RESTORATION & TESTING

Before Restoration

Both HP-016A super tweeters were carefully inspected upon arrival to evaluate their electrical and cosmetic condition.

The film elements, acrylic lenses, bases, lead wires and solder joints were inspected, and each unit was checked for output.

The inspection results were used to determine the service required for each unit.

During Restoration

Based on the inspection results, both super tweeters were serviced according to HQaudios’ technical standards while preserving their original engineering.

Cleaning & Detailing: The acrylic lenses, bases and lead wires were cleaned and detailed.

After Restoration / Final Testing

Once service was completed, both units were tested under real operating conditions.

Function Test: Each super tweeter was tested through an appropriate crossover to confirm clean, even high-frequency output.

Final QC: Only after completing HQaudios’ inspection and testing process were the units approved and prepared for their next owner.
