Hk audio POLAR 8

The HK audio Polar 8 is an amplified column system.

The POLAR series offers a complete and customized sound solution for discerning musicians, DJs, artists, business presentations, schools, and churches. Compared to other models in its class, POLAR stands out with its impressive sound experience, down to the deepest bass, and an extremely comprehensive range of features, including an integrated mixer and Bluetooth 5.

Polar 8: An XXL Sound Experience:
High-quality speaker components deliver exceptionally transparent and natural sound, from the deepest lows to the finest highs. This guarantees an XXL sound experience in every scenario, from discreet background music during dinner to the energetic climax of the event.

Multichannel Mixer:
The integrated multichannel mixer offers numerous connections for various application scenarios: two microphone or line inputs and an AUX input for pre-recorded music.

The Polar 8 offers a Bluetooth 5 wireless connection, providing extended range and a more reliable connection compared to previous Bluetooth versions. The POLAR 8 also offers Bluetooth TWS (True Wireless Stereo), allowing two POLAR 8 units to be used as a true wireless stereo streaming system from a TWS-enabled smartphone.

The POLAR 8 is extremely user-friendly. The overall volume can be adjusted with an easily accessible Master volume control, while the Sub Level and Treble controls allow you to adjust the sound to fit local conditions or personal preferences.

When used for events in large venues or outdoors, the POLAR can easily function as a delay speaker. Users simply set the distance from the main PA using the integrated display, and the DSP automatically calculates the appropriate delay time.

The volume controls for the four channels, the master volume, and the subwoofer are directly accessible in all operating situations. Less frequently used settings, such as the semi-parametric master EQ, can be adjusted via a rotary push-button control and the easy-to-read display.

The newly developed plug system conveniently, securely, and without wobbling connects the mid/high unit, spacer, and subwoofer. No cables are required.

The column element of the compact POLAR 8 features powerful 2.5" neodymium speakers with a 1" voice coil arranged in a curved column. Along with the high-performance bass speaker in a metal-reinforced, low-resonance plastic enclosure and the 1,200 watt (peak power) Class-D power amplifier, the system offers powerful, uniform sound and superior power reserves.

With its wide 120° throw pattern and low feedback tendency, POLAR is ideal for positioning on stage or in the room. In many cases, there’s no need for another stage monitor at all. POLAR can be set up without the lower column segment, making it easy to adjust the height from which sound is emitted, for example when used on a raised stage. The gradually declining volume level ensures sound pressure that packs a punch on the dance floor, a pleasantly full sound in the front rows, and a conversation-friendly reduced volume at the back of the room.

When positioned on the floor, POLAR’s subwoofer, spacer, and mid/high unit combine to create the ideal vertical orientation for both standing and seated audiences. When set up on a stage, it can be positioned at the ideal height without the need for the spacer.
