HK Audio Polar 12 is an active portable column speaker featuring a mid/high section consisting of 6 x 3” drivers and a 1” tweeter in an array configuration and a sub section consisting of a subwoofer with 12” drivers . The Polar 12 drivers are driven by a built-in 2000W amplifier that includes an integrated DSP and a Bluetooth input. The Polar 12 column system offers a complete and customized audio solution for musicians, DJs, entertainers, corporate presentations, schools and churches.

The amplifier with DSP integrated in Polar 12

Compared to other models in its class, Polar 12 stands out for its impressive depth down to the lowest frequencies, as well as its extremely complete range of features, including a built-in mixer and Bluetooth 5. The high-quality speakers deliver exceptionally transparent and natural sound from the bass to the most refined highs. This ensures an XXL sound experience in every scenario, from discreet background music during a dinner to the energetic climax of the event.

The 24-bit DSP in Polar 12 delivers a smooth, low-distortion sound experience across the entire frequency range. The combination of a 1″ tweeter , six high-performance midrange drivers and an LF driver provide long throw and wide coverage. The solid cabinet is made of MDF wood and houses a powerful 2000W amplifier.

The integrated DSP includes three selectable modes (Music, Speech and DJ) and there is also a selectable parametric equalizer on the Master to adapt the output timbre to the Venue. In addition, five settings can be stored as user presets and recalled when needed.

The Delay and the integrated mixer.

When used for events in very large rooms or outdoors, Polar 12 can easily function as a speaker delay . Simply set the distance of Polar 12 from the main PA using the built-in display and the DSP automatically calculates the appropriate delay for the distance.

The volume controls for all four channels , the master volume and the subwoofer are directly accessible in all operating situations. Less frequently used settings, such as the semi-parametric master EQ , can be changed via a rotary pushbutton control and the easy-to-read display.

The connection system connects the mid/high unit, spacer and subwoofer conveniently, securely and without wobble. No cables required.

Polar Series Dispersion and Pointing

With its wide 120° beam and low tendency to feedback, Polar 12 is ideal for stage placement. In many cases, an additional stage monitor is not needed at all. Polar 12 can be installed without the lower column segment, making it easy to adjust the height from which the sound is emitted, for example when used on a raised stage . The gradually decreasing volume level ensures consistent sound pressure even in the distance.

When placed on the floor, the Polar 12 subwoofer, spacer, and mid/high unit combine to create the ideal vertical orientation for both standing and seated audiences.
