PUT YOUR SOUND IN POLE POSITION A

POLAR 10, HK Audio’s new columnar system, is an
all-in-one sound reinforcement solution tailor-made for
discerning musicians, DJs, entertainers, business speakers,
schools and churches.

POLAR 10 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
serves 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.

OF A COLUMNAR SYSTEM IN THIS CLASS

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 10 also renders audio streams wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0,
which has four times the range of earlier versions.

Three sound modes (Music, Speech, and DJ) and the semiparametric master EQ allow users to simply and e ectively adjust POLAR 10’s sound.
In addition, up to fi ve sound settings can be stored as User Presets, which can be recalled when needed.

SWEET SOUND ALL AROUND

With its expansive 120° throw pattern and remarkable
feedback resistance, POLAR 10 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 10
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 10’s sound pressure gradually tapers to treat
everyone in the room to a satisfying sonic experience.

Fig. A: Positioning POLAR 10 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 10 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.

For events in extremely large rooms or outdoors, POLAR 10 can be conveniently
used as a delay speaker. Using the integrated display, users can set the distance
from the main PA to the POLAR 10 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 rotar y push-button and the easily readable
display.

The newly-developed E.A.S. Connect System connects POLAR 10’s
three main components comfortably, safely and without wobbling;
cables are not required.
