PUT YOUR SOUND IN POLE POSITION A
POLAR 10 and POLAR 12, HK Audio's new columnar systems, are
an all-in-one sound reinforcement solution tailor-made for
discerning musicians, DJs, entertainers, business speakers,
schools and churches.
POLAR punches well above its weight, particularly when compared
with rival o ers in its class: the system packs a mighty punch,
serving up big, bold sound that ranges deep into bass territory,
and its impressive feature set boasts – among other things – a
four-channel mixer and Bluetooth 5.0.

AN XXL AUDIO EXPERIENCE
The 24-bit DSP, paired with premium speakers, delivers
exceptionally transparent, natural sound across the entire
frequency range, from thumping lows to shimmering
highs. A generously appointed 2,000-watt power amp
drives the 1" CD horn, high-performance midrange
drivers and a specially developed, long-throw bass woofer
housed in an acoustically engineered wood cabinet. This
combination ser ves up an XXL audio experience in every
scenario. Anything goes, from sedate background music
to accompany dinner to romping, stomping sound for
the spirited high point of the event.

SWEET SOUND ALL AROUND
With its expansive 120° throw pattern and remarkable
feedback resistance, POLAR goes wherever you want it,
be that on stage or in the room. In many cases, you can
do without a stage monitor altogether. POLAR can also
be easily set up on raised stages and the like, simply by
removing the lower column element – which is a spacer
– to keep its directivity aligned with your audience.
Loud on the dance fl oor, assertive in the front rows and
conversation-friendly at the back of the room, POLAR's
sound pressure gradually tapers to treat everyone in the
room to a satisfying sonic experience.
Fig. A: Positioning POLAR in any venue is incredibly
simple due to the system's wide angle of sound
dispersion, its homogeneous volume distribution,
and its excellent resistance to feedback.
Fig. B: When POLAR is placed on the fl oor, the
subwoofer, the spacer and the mid/high unit provide
the ideal vertical orientation for a standing and/or
sitting 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 plenty of
connections for many applications – two channels for
microphone or line signals, a special instrument channel,
for an acoustic guitar or similar, and an Aux channel for
pre-recorded music.
POLAR also renders audio streams wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0,
which has four times the range of earlier versions.
Three sound modes (Music, Voice, and DJ) and the semiparametric master EQ allow users to simply and e ectively adjust POLAR's
sound. In addition, up to fi ve sound settings can be stored as User Presets, which can be recalled when needed.

For events in extremely large rooms or outdoors, POLAR can be conveniently
used as a delay speaker. Using the integrated display, users can set the distance
from the main PA to the POLAR system, 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. Settings that are required less frequently, such
as the semiparametric master EQ, are accessed via a rotary
push-button and the easily readable display.
The newly-developed E.A.S. Connect System connects POLAR's
three main components comfortably, safely and without
wobbling; cables are not required.

WHO NEEDS WHICH SYSTEM?
POLAR 10 delivers everything users expect from a column sound
system. It even outperforms many 12" systems in its price range.
That makes POLAR 10 the right choice for singer/songwriters,
solo entertainers, presenters and applications in schools and
churches.
Featuring a larger cabinet and a 12" woofer, POLAR 12 delivers
the extra helping of low end that bass enthusiasts love so much.
This makes it an excellent choice for DJs who have to pump out
a big bass sound throughout the gig. But POLAR 12 also delivers
persuasive performance in live situations with drums.
The 12" woofer and 2.5" voice coil can handle a heavier thermal
load to deliver higher sound pressure and headroom even when
levels spike.
