Buyer research

Questions buyers ask about the Southpaw

Common pre-purchase questions on the HSD Southpaw.

Where does the Southpaw fit in a system?

It is a high-mid extension cabinet, 220 Hz to 20 kHz (-3 dB), built for front-fill, out-fill, delay towers, and monitor duty in larger or asymmetrical rooms. It is not a standalone full-range box: it hands everything below its passband to your mains and subs, which is exactly what makes it light (50 lbs) and affordable ($2,000).

Why does it use the same drivers as the Uppercut?

Deliberately. The Southpaw carries the Uppercut's 8″ midrange and 1.4″ compression driver, so fills and delays sound like the mains, same voicing, same clarity, seamless integration when a listener walks from the main coverage zone into fill coverage.

What amplifier drives the Southpaw?

Two channels per cabinet (MF 250 W / HF 100 W continuous, 8 ohms per section). A four-channel HSD KP Series amp runs two Southpaws, with HSD presets and delay settable per output for fill and delay alignment.

Can I use the Southpaw as a stage monitor?

Yes. At 50 lbs with 60 × 40 coverage and the same HF clarity as HSD's mains, it does monitor duty comfortably. For dedicated performer monitoring with low end, look at HSD's monitor line: the Reference 12 and DJ18.
