Polar 12 is a full-fledged active full-range columnar PA system
Germany - HK Audio has unveiled Polar 12, a full-fledged active full-range columnar PA system for musicians, entertainers, DJs, presentations, schools and audiovisual applications, and big brother to its bestselling Polar 10 model.
The Polar 12 system consists of a subwoofer and two columnar elements. The birch-ply subwoofer’s enclosure is acoustically shaped and sized to deliver excellent audio results in combination with a specially developed 12” long-excursion woofer. Driven by a muscular 2,000-watt power amplifier, this combination delivers an incredibly full bass response even at high volumes.
The midrange/HF column comes in two sections for easy transport. The top section is loaded with six high-performance 3” neodymium midrange drivers and a low-distortion, 1” constant directivity horn. The Polar 12 system delivers well-balanced, exceedingly natural sound, rendering everything from 35 Hz all the way up to 20 kHz with remarkable authority.
Tuned to project an expansive 120° throw pattern and engineered to impede feedback, it gives users freedom of choice when it comes to positioning the PA in venues. Placed behind the speaker or performer, it can also serve as a stage monitor to take the place of wedges in many scenarios.
Setting Polar 12 on a raised stage is not a problem, as it can still be aimed at the correct height by simply leaving the column’s bottom section – which is a spacer – out of the stack.
The four-channel mixer offers two mic/line channels, one instrument channel, and one aux channel for music players. Polar 12 can also render audio streams wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0. The mixer’s settings can be stored in five presets, to be accessed later as the situation requires.
Rüdiger Forse, HK Audio’s senior product manager, said: “Like its popular brother Polar10, the new Polar 12 PA system combines outstanding audio quality with easy handling, and offers features that until today were found only on far pricier systems.
“While Polar 10 suits all typical applications for column systems well, Polar 12 excels in situations where high-powered bass is needed for continuous operation, even when levels spike. The subwoofer design and high power amping deliver the extra low-end that bass enthusiasts love so much. With Polar 12, you can get the party started and keep it going all night long.”
