Hk audio POLAR 8 MK2

The HK Audio POLAR 8 MK2 is an active column system designed for musicians, DJs, entertainers and event professionals looking for a compact solution that's quick to install and easy to transport.

Features

Wide, even distribution

The POLAR 8 MK2 uses six 2.5" neodymium midrange drivers mounted in a curved configuration to ensure wide sound coverage of 120° x 45°. The result is even diffusion throughout the room, with fewer variations in volume between the front row and the back. The result: the audience hears voices, music and announcements clearly, even in complex environments.

Compact and efficient 8" subwoofer

Its 8'' subwoofer, integrated into a reinforced, low-resonance cabinet, delivers clean, controlled bass without weighing down the system. The result remains balanced and natural, whether you're playing an acoustic set, a musical event or a small DJ performance. You benefit from a bass that's present without taking up too much space.

1200 W Class D amplification

With its 1200 W Class D amplification, the POLAR 8 MK2 offers a comfortable power reserve in a compact, lightweight format. The system remains dynamic even at sustained volume, making it perfectly suited to small stages, conferences, bars, restaurants or private events.

24-bit DSP with Contour Control

The integrated 24-bit DSP automatically optimizes the system's behavior to preserve a natural, balanced sound. The multi-band limiter effectively protects the loudspeakers while maintaining signal dynamics. The new contour control allows you to adapt the sound character to suit your use: clearer voice for conferences, balanced rendering for live music or more energetic sound for DJ performances.

Integrated mixer and Bluetooth TWS

The integrated 3-channel mixer makes it easy to connect microphones, instruments or audio sources without additional hardware. Bluetooth 5 makes it easy to stream your music from a smartphone or tablet. Thanks to True Wireless Stereo (TWS), you can link two POLAR 8 MK2 systems without cables to achieve true stereo broadcasting for larger events.

Simplified transport and installation

The column format makes the system easy to transport, store and install. Installation is quick and uncomplicated. The included carrying cases provide effective protection when on the move, a real advantage for mobile users who regularly install and dismantle their equipment.
