HK Audio Launches POLAR 15 MK2 Active Column PA System

	The column speaker, made from a low-resonance aluminum profile, helps ensure clear reproduction of vocals and instruments, the company says.

HK Audio's POLAR 15 MK2 is billed as a versatile sound of reinforcement solution for DJ, performers, entertainers, bands, and demanding events. At its heart is the 15" subwoofer. Its generously sized multiplex enclosure delivers powerful, defined bass and increased sound pressure in the low-frequency range, the company says.

The column speaker, made from a low-resonance aluminum profile, helps ensure clear reproduction of vocals and instruments. A newly developed connector securely joins the column elements to the subwoofer and spacer, keeping them firmly in place while still allowing quick removal for mobile use.

Ergonomic HK Audio MultiGrip handles and additional handling grips make the subwoofer easier to lift and load. A padded carrying bag for the column elements and a transport cover for the subwoofer are included.

Thanks to the integrated M20 thread, distance poles for compact lighting systems and other accessories can be mounted on the subwoofer.

The integrated four-channel mixer makes the POLAR 15 MK2 a self-contained sound reinforcement solution. Two XLR/jack combo inputs accept microphone and line signals. Also featured is a high-impedance instrument input for guitars and an aux channel for DJ equipment and other playback devices. Phantom power can be switched on for condenser microphones.

Music can be streamed wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0 while Bluetooth TWS lets you pair two POLAR MK2 systems for true stereo playback. Master volume, level indicators, and a push-to-edit button make operation straightforward. A USB-C port keeps smartphones, tablets, and battery-powered wireless microphone receivers charged.

The integrated DSP tools offer music, voice, and DJ sound modes. The three-band EQ and semi-parametric midrange EQ provide additional sound-shaping options, and custom settings can be saved in five user presets. The delay function also allows the system to be used as a delay line.

The POLAR 15 MK2 is available from retailers now. Systems can be registered at the link below to receive an extended five-year warranty.
