Designed to deliver high-quality audio, theHK Audio POLAR 8is a highly flexible, easy to use, 1200W powered column array system with an integrated mixer and Bluetooth audio streaming well suited for the demands of today’s working musicians, singer/songwriters, mobile DJs as well as a wide range of audiovisual applications in business schools, houses of worship, and other sound providers.
The POLAR 8 works on the floor or on a raised stage, and with its 120 dispersion and remarkable feedback rejection, the speaker can be placed behind performers as an all-in-one PA/Monitoring system, negating the need for a separate monitoring system. The highly efficient 1200W Class-D amplifier powers the 8″ woofer and six 2.5″ mid-high drivers, which provide full-range audio (50 Hz to 20 kHz at 10 dB) with a sound pressure level powerful enough to ensure the entire audience can hear your performance.
