HK Audio SONAR 115 Xi and SONAR 115 Sub D
ACTIVE SPEAKERS FOR ENTERTAINERS, DJS, BANDS, CLUBS, FITNESS AND PARTIES
HK Audio has introduced an exceptional addition to their lineup with the SONAR 115 Xi and SONAR 115 Sub D, setting new standards in the realm of powered PA speakers. These models combine HK Audio’s renowned sound quality with innovative features, all within a mainstream price segment, making them ideal for a wide range of audio applications.
SONAR 115 Xi: Full-Range Excellence
The SONAR 115 Xi is a standout full-range model in the new SONAR series. It features a 24-bit DSP controller with a color display for intuitive operation of its extensive connection and setting options. This speaker includes two channels for microphone or line signals and an AUX channel for music signals, offering remarkable flexibility for various audio sources. Each channel is equipped with a luxury 3-band EQ, allowing precise sound shaping that exceeds the usual standards in this product class.
A significant highlight of the SONAR 115 Xi is its remote control capability via the free SONAR REMOTE app, available for both iOS and Android. This app enables wireless control of all settings, including the EQ and volume adjustments, from a distance. The AUX channel also supports Bluetooth 5.0 streaming, and when using two SONAR speakers, Bluetooth TWS (True Wireless Stereo) is possible. This ensures higher range and more stable connections, enhancing the overall audio experience.
SONAR 115 Sub D: Deep Bass and Advanced Control
The SONAR 115 Sub D subwoofer complements the full-range model with its powerful low-frequency performance. It also features a 24-bit DSP controller with a display for adjusting parameters such as crossover frequency, polarity, and delay. A unique aspect of the SONAR 115 Sub D in its price class is the inclusion of two presets for Cardioid operation when using two subwoofers. This setup directs the bass towards the audience while significantly reducing unwanted low-frequency emissions to the rear, a feature that is highly appreciated by bands and DJs performing directly behind the PA.
The HK Audio SONAR 115 Xi and SONAR 115 Sub D represent the ultimate audio duo for anyone seeking high-performance, user-friendly, and affordable PA solutions. With their advanced features, intuitive controls, and superior sound quality, these models are poised to become favorites among musicians, DJs, and audio professionals. Whether streaming music, controlling settings remotely, or delivering powerful bass, the SONAR series provides everything needed to create an exceptional audio experience.
Bluetooth TWS
With Bluetooth TWS (True Wireless Stereo), stereo audio streaming via two SONAR Xi models is a breeze. Two linked SONAR Xi speakers can even be controlled remotely at the same time via the Remote app.
SONAR REMOTE App
The SONAR REMOTE app for iOS and Android tablets and smartphones is so much more than just a remote control for the built-in digital mixer. It lets you control all settings and functions of the SONAR Xi models, including the parameters of the 3-band EQ for each channel. You can also save scenes to make regularly used presets available on demand, such as adjustments to frequently used microphones, modified SONAR Xi setups or basic configurations for different locations.
All settings that are changed in the app are simultaneously shown in the SONAR Xi speaker display, and vice versa! Both displays sync up in real time.
Intuitive control via colour display
The built-in digital mixer on the Xi models offers two channels for microphone or line signals as well as an AUX channel for analogue and Bluetooth 5.0 signals. It can even receive both signals at the same time! The Mix Out is used to forward signals to additional speakers, or can be used as a source for live recording.
Each of the three channels has its own dedicated volume controller as well as a lavishly equipped 3-band EQ. What’s more, three sound modes are available (Live, DJ, Monitor) as well as a preset for using in combination with the SONAR subwoofer.
The mixer is equipped with a master control to adjust the overall volume and operate the DSP menu.
