Pleasant sound all around
With a wide 120° coverage and incredible feedback resistance, the HK Audio POLAR 12 can be used anywhere you want, both on stage and in the room. In many cases, you can dispense with a stage monitor altogether. POLAR 12 can also be easily positioned on raised stages, etc., simply by removing the lower column element - the spacer - to keep its directionality in line with the audience. Loud on the dance floor, assertive in the front rows, and conversation-friendly in the back of the room, the HK Audio POLAR 12's sound pressure gradually tapers to ensure a satisfying audio experience for everyone in the room.
Placing POLAR 12 anywhere is a breeze thanks to its wide dispersion angle, homogeneous volume distribution and excellent feedback resistance.
When POLAR 12 is placed on the floor, the subwoofer, spacer and mid-tweeter unit provide the perfect vertical orientation for a standing and/or seated audience. When set up on a raised stage, the optimum height is achieved by removing the spacer.
Built-in four-channel mixer
The built-in four-channel mixer provides multiple connections for many applications - two channels for mic or line signals, a special instrument channel for acoustic guitar or similar, and an Aux channel for pre-recorded music.
POLAR 12 also enables wireless audio playback via Bluetooth 5.0 , which has four times the range of previous versions.
Three sound modes (Music, Voice and DJ) and a semi-parametric master equalizer allow users to easily and effectively adjust the sound of the POLAR 12. In addition, up to five sound settings can be saved as User Presets, which can be recalled as needed.
For events in very large rooms or outdoors, the POLAR 12 can be conveniently used as a delay speaker. Using the integrated display, users can set the distance from the main sound system to the POLAR 12 system, and the DSP will automatically calculate the appropriate delay time.
Volume controls for four channels, master volume and subwoofer are directly accessible in all applications. Settings that are required less frequently, such as the Semi-Parametric Master Equalizer, are accessed via the rotary push button and easy-to-read display. The newly developed EAS Connect connection system connects the three main components of the POLAR 12 comfortably, securely and wobble-free; cables are not required.
Accessories included
The POLAR 12 comes complete with a padded gig bag for the two column elements and a padded protective bag for the subwoofer.
Naturally, two POLAR 12 systems can be used for a stereo setup.
