The HK Audio POLAR-8MKII Column Speaker with 8" Sub (1CTN) combines professional audio performance, portability, and simple operation in one compact package. Designed for DJs, presenters, musicians, conferences, and small events, this all-in-one active column system delivers impressive clarity, powerful bass, and wide sound coverage. With Bluetooth 5.0 streaming, a built-in mixer, intelligent DSP processing, and a 1,200W peak Class D amplifier, the POLAR 8 MKII provides reliable, high-quality sound for a wide range of applications while remaining easy to transport and quick to assemble.
Compact and Space-Saving Design: The HK Audio POLAR 8 MKII combines a subwoofer, spacer, and column speaker into a streamlined system that occupies minimal floor space. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for small stages, conference rooms, wedding venues, rehearsal spaces, and mobile entertainment setups. Despite its size, the system delivers impressive output and professional audio performance.
Advanced Column Array Technology: The mid/high section features six 2.5-inch neodymium broadband drivers arranged in a specially curved column configuration. This design promotes even sound distribution across the audience area. As a result, listeners experience consistent audio quality whether they are positioned close to the stage or further away.
Wide Sound Dispersion: The POLAR 8 MKII provides a 120° horizontal and 45° vertical dispersion pattern. This wide coverage reduces the need for additional speakers in smaller venues. Furthermore, it ensures excellent speech intelligibility and balanced music reproduction throughout the listening area.
Powerful 8-Inch Subwoofer: The integrated 8-inch bass reflex subwoofer produces deep, punchy bass while maintaining excellent clarity. Its low-resonance enclosure enhances low-frequency accuracy and minimizes unwanted vibrations. Consequently, users enjoy tight bass response for music playback, live performances, and presentations.
High-Efficiency Class D Amplification: The built-in Class D bi-amped amplifier delivers 300 watts RMS and 1,200 watts peak power. This efficient amplifier design provides substantial output while generating less heat and consuming less power. Therefore, the system maintains reliable performance during extended use.
Intelligent DSP Processing: The high-resolution DSP engine continuously optimizes system performance. It manages crossover settings, speaker protection, and tonal balance. In addition, the integrated DSP helps maintain clear and distortion-free sound even when operating at higher volume levels.
Adjustable Contour Control: The innovative Contour Control allows users to tailor the sound profile to specific applications. Smooth adjustment between DJ, Music, and Voice settings ensures optimal performance for different environments. This flexibility eliminates the need for complex external processing.
Integrated Three-Channel Mixer: The built-in mixer simplifies setup by allowing direct connection of multiple audio sources. Users can connect microphones, instruments, media players, laptops, or mixers without requiring additional equipment. This feature makes the POLAR 8 MKII a complete all-in-one audio solution.
Bluetooth 5.0 Streaming: Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 enables reliable wireless audio streaming from smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This functionality provides convenient playback without additional cables, making setup faster and reducing clutter.
True Wireless Stereo Technology: The inclusion of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) technology allows two POLAR 8 MKII systems to pair wirelessly. This creates a genuine stereo sound field without physical audio connections between systems, offering greater flexibility for larger venues and events.
Professional Protection Features: Built-in RMS and Peak Limiters continuously monitor system performance and protect the speakers from excessive signal levels. These safeguards help maintain audio quality while extending the lifespan of the system’s components.
Durable Construction: The cabinet utilizes robust ABS material and features a steel front grille with an anti-corrosion coating. Acoustic foam backing further protects the drivers while preserving sound quality. This durable construction withstands the demands of regular transport and professional use.
Easy Transportation and Setup: The system includes a subwoofer protection cover and transport bags for the column components. Combined with integrated carrying handles and lightweight construction, these accessories make transportation simple and efficient. Setup takes only minutes, allowing users to focus on their performance or event.
