With the POLAR 8, HK Audio adds to their popular POLAR series a fully featured active full-range column system that doesn't need to hide from its big brothers. In fact, the POLAR 8 features the same impressive sound aesthetics as its big brothers, the POLAR 10 and POLAR 12, and is at home wherever flexibility and perfect sound are required. Extremely compact and equipped with Bluetooth TWS (True Wireless Stereo), which allows two POLAR 8s to be easily used as a true stereo streaming system without the need for cables, the HK Audio POLAR 8 shines with power and expressiveness.
The POLAR 8 combines outstanding sound characteristics with uncomplicated handling, opening up the easiest path to the best sound for the user. Equipped with a powerful 1200 watt Class D power amplifier, it achieves a full dynamic range with minimal distortion, ensuring a stable, consistent sound at any volume with superior power reserves. With its 120° x 45° coverage angle, POLAR 8 provides extremely even, balanced and present sound reinforcement without cancellations, full sound on the dance floor and in the front rows, a conversation-friendly volume at the end of the hall and makes additional stage monitors unnecessary in most cases.
The POLAR 8 Column
In the POLAR 8 column element, six powerful 2.5" neodynium loudspeakers with 1" voice coils work in a curved column arrangement. With coverage angles of 120° x 45°, they provide clean and uniform sound even in difficult or low rooms. By omitting the distance piece, POLAR 8 can be used even more flexibly, eg. on high stages.
The POLAR 8 subwoofer
Thanks to a special metal enclosure reinforcement ("anti-resonance bracing"), the low-resonance enclosure ensures dry and precise bass reproduction. The 8" subwoofer of the POLAR 8 is extremely compact, optimized for smaller footprints and can be easily transported.
The integrated mixer
The integrated three-channel mixer including master volume control offers two channels with XLR/jack combo socket for microphones and line signals (e.g. mixers, keyboards) and an AUX channel with RCA sockets for DJ equipment or mp3 players, which also controls Bluetooth audio at the same time.
Thus, for most applications with microphone, keyboard or DJ equipment, no external mixer is needed. A balanced output is available for passing the signal to another POLAR 8, mixing console, monitor systems or an additional subwoofer.
Powerful microphone preamps provide more gain even with weak microphones. The Sub Level and Treble controls allow the overall sound to be adjusted to local conditions or personal taste in no time at all.
Slim and noble design, variable column design
The new column system from HK Audio impresses with its slim and noble design with high-quality black finish as well as elegant metal front grille with black acoustic foam, so that the POLAR 8 is ideally suited for discreet placement even in upscale ambience, in hotels, at gala events and in splendidly furnished rooms.
In contrast to systems with continuous loudspeaker equipment, the POLAR 8 can also be used sensibly without a distance element on stages, as a monitor system and with a seated audience.
Wireless audio streaming thanks to Bluetooth
Wireless audio streaming is no problem thanks to Bluetooth. The POLAR 8 is equipped with Bluetooth 5, which enables up to four times the range of older Bluetooth versions. In combination with Bluetooth 5-capable end devices, ranges of up to 40 meters are guaranteed and it is also backwards compatible with older Bluetooth standards (range up to 10 meters).
Via Bluetooth TWS, two POLAR 8s can be wirelessly connected to a Bluetooth end device to create a true stereo system.
Included accessories
A padded carrying bag for the mid/high unit and distance element as well as a padded cover for the subwooferare included in the scope of delivery, ensuring that all elements are optimally protected during transport and storage.
