The speakers consist of four (4) 100W drivers per speaker, totaling to a total of 400W per speaker, and 800W per array, with a total combined wattage of 3200W combined, contrary of the ASC E-Class, which uses 400W drivers manufactured by Atlas using the same Kingstar arrays. The HPSS-32 utilizes type TH300 speaker arrays manufactured by Kingstar, Inc., a China-based speaker manufacturer.
Notable users of the HPSS-32 include Entergy's Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC), which has a system of approximately 167 ATI's.
Rotating Types
Alongside the HPSS32, there is a rotating version, called the HPSS32R. The only known HPSS32Rs are in Menominee, MI, however they use the 16 watt controller more commonly found on the HPSS-16 series, most likely meaning that each speaker is 400 watts. There are 3 HPSS32Rs in Menominee next to inactive, early model, ACA Alertronics.
