HK Audio Polar 8 MK2 WH

The HK Audio Polar 8 MK2 White is the most compact column PA system in the Polar MK2 series. This system is made for musicians, speakers, DJs, schools, businesses and entertainers looking for a quick-to-build sound system with lots of connectivity options. You will use the Polar 8 MK2 on small stages, in rehearsal rooms, at conferences, during ceremonies, in catering establishments or at mobile events.

This white version is interesting for e.g. weddings, ceremonies, presentations, churches, conferences and locations where the system should be less visible in the decor.

Despite its compact size, the Polar 8 MK2 delivers a full sound with a wide dispersion. The combination of an 8-inch subwoofer, a column of six 2.5-inch neodymium midrange speakers and a 1200 W Class D amplifier makes for a powerful system that is easy to transport. The built-in mixer, Bluetooth 5 and True Wireless Stereo make the system suitable for a variety of applications without always needing a separate mixer.

Wide dispersion through Curved Column technology
Inside the column of the Polar 8 MK2 WH are six 2.5-inch neodymium midrange speakers. These are placed in a Curved Column construction, giving the sound wide and even dispersion. The dispersion is 120° horizontally and 45° vertically. This is useful in smaller rooms, areas with low ceilings or situations where audiences are seated or dispersed. Speech remains intelligible and music comes through evenly, even when listeners are standing close to the system. For presentations, small performances and mobile applications, this system provides neat coverage without complicated tuning.

8-inch subwoofer with solid bass response
The Polar 8 MK2 White features an 8-inch subwoofer that provides tight bass response in a compact size. The enclosure is made of plastic with metal reinforcement and is designed to reduce resonances. As a result, the low-end reproduction remains controlled even when the volume goes up. For vocals with backing tracks, acoustic performances, keyboards, DJ sets and speech applications, the Polar 8 MK2 delivers enough body without the system feeling large or heavy. The subwoofer immediately forms the foundation of the system, allowing you to quickly set up the column without a tripod.

1200 W Class D amplifier
The built-in Class D amplifier delivers a peak power output of 1200 W, giving the HK Audio Polar 8 MK2 enough reserve for small stages, rehearsal rooms, conference rooms and mobile applications. The amplifier operates efficiently, keeps weight down and provides dynamic reproduction for speech and music. The 24-bit DSP monitors the sound and works together with a multiband limiter. This intervenes only at frequency ranges that are approaching their limit. This keeps the sound stable and controlled, even at higher volumes.

Contour Control for DJ, Music and Voice
A new feature on the Polar 8 MK2 White is Contour Control. It allows you to infinitely adjust the sound between three applications: DJ, Music and Voice. Instead of fixed presets, you get more control over sound color. For voice, you can choose a clear sound with good intelligibility. For music, you can make the system sound more balanced. For DJ applications, you can emphasize a fuller, more powerful sound. So you quickly adjust the Polar 8 MK2 to the room, source and use.

Built-in 3-channel mixer
The HK Audio Polar 8 MKII has a built-in 3-channel mixer. You get two XLR/jack combo inputs for microphones, instruments or line signals. There is also a stereo RCA input and a Bluetooth channel for wireless audio streaming. This allows you to easily connect a microphone, keyboard, mixer, DJ controller, smartphone, tablet or media player. For many applications, you don't need an external mixer. Via the XLR Mix Out you can forward the signal to a second system, recorder or other audio device.

Bluetooth 5 with True Wireless Stereo
With Bluetooth 5 you stream music wirelessly from a smartphone, tablet or laptop. The POLAR 8 MK2 also supports True Wireless Stereo. This lets you pair two POLAR 8 MK2 systems wirelessly for a stereo setup. This is useful for DJs, presentations with music, ceremonies, small live performances or situations where you want to quickly create a wider stereo display without additional audio cable between two systems.

Quick to set up and easy to transport
The HK Audio Polar 8 MK2 is made for mobile use. The system consists of a subwoofer, column elements and a built-in mixer. You don't need a speaker stand and setup is quick. A protective cover for the subwoofer and a carrying bag for the column are included as standard. This allows you to safely take the system to rehearsals, gigs, conferences, parties and events.
