HK Audio POLAR 12 MK2 – compact power with professional sound

Some PA systems are built primarily for portability.

Other systems are built primarily for high output.

The HK Audio POLAR 12 MK2 aims to combine both worlds.

This powerful column PA system delivers impressive sound pressure from a relatively compact setup. Thanks to the combination of a 12-inch subwoofer and a column with six 3-inch drivers, you get wide-dispersion sound that is perfect for mobile applications.

From live performances to DJ sets, and from corporate presentations to weddings: the POLAR 12 MK2 is designed for quick setup and professional sound.

1,200 watts of power

The POLAR 12 MK2 features an amplification system with a total output of 1,200 watts.

This provides the system with plenty of headroom for various applications.

The combination of power and a high-performance 12-inch subwoofer ensures the POLAR 12 MK2 is suitable not just for speech and background music, but also for full-scale live music and DJ use.

12-inch subwoofer

The heart of the low frequencies is formed by the 12-inch woofer.

This is a key difference compared to smaller column systems.

A larger woofer can produce significantly more low-end, giving the system a sturdier and fuller foundation.

This is particularly interesting for DJs and live bands.

Kick drums gain more body.

Bass guitars gain more weight.

Electronic music gains more impact.

And during presentations, voices remain supported by a natural and powerful low-end.

Six 3-inch column drivers

Above the subwoofer sits the column containing six 3-inch drivers.

These handle the high and mid frequencies and contribute to the wide sound dispersion.

The advantage of a column PA system is that sound is distributed relatively evenly throughout the room.

As a result, the POLAR 12 MK2 isn’t just aimed at the audience directly in front of the speaker.

Intelligibility and musical balance are maintained even further back in the venue.

120° horizontal dispersion

The column is designed for a wide horizontal dispersion of approximately 120 degrees.

This makes the POLAR 12 MK2 especially suitable for locations where the audience is spread out widely.

Think for example of:

• Parties
• Weddings
• Restaurants
• Terraces
• Presentations
• Small concerts
• Corporate events

This means you are less likely to need multiple speakers to fill the space effectively.

128 dB maximum SPL

The POLAR 12 MK2 can reach a maximum sound pressure level of approximately 128 dB SPL.

This places the system among the more powerful column PA systems.

For a mobile user, this means having a relatively compact system that can still produce significant sound pressure.

This is exactly where the POLAR series excels.

Integrated digital mixer

A major advantage of the POLAR 12 MK2 is the built-in digital mixer.

This means you don’t automatically need an external mixing console.

You can connect various sources directly to the system and manage the most important settings.

This makes the system exceptionally practical for mobile use.

Bluetooth 5.0

The POLAR 12 MK2 features Bluetooth 5.0.

This allows you to stream audio wirelessly from devices such as:

• Smartphone
• Tablet
• Laptop
• DJ controller
• Music player

This is ideal for break music, background music, or playing tracks during an event.

For mobile DJs, Bluetooth is also handy for quickly adding a music source without extra cables.

Professional connections

The POLAR 12 MK2 is designed as a serious PA system and therefore features professional audio connections.

You can combine different sources, making the system suitable for both music and speech.

A singer can connect a microphone, for example.

A guitarist can use their instrument.

A DJ can connect a mixer or controller.

And during an event, Bluetooth can be used for background music.

DSP and presets

A modern active PA system isn’t just about amplifier power.

Digital signal processing plays a vital role.

The POLAR 12 MK2 features integrated DSP to tune the system for different applications.

This allows you to easily adjust the sound to the situation.

For SpeakerKoning, this is a key selling point:

plug in, set up, and play.

Column PA – why is it so convenient?

One of the biggest advantages of the POLAR 12 MK2 is the column concept.

A traditional PA system often consists of:

top + stand + subwoofer + cables.

With a column PA system, the satellite is simply placed onto the subwoofer.

This eliminates the need for a classic speaker stand.

This makes the POLAR 12 MK2:

• Quick to set up
• Easy to transport
• Visually compact
• Suitable for mobile applications
• User-friendly

This is a major advantage for weddings or corporate events, for example.

Ideal for live music

The POLAR 12 MK2 is excellent for small to medium-sized live performances.

A singer/guitarist can plug directly into the system.

A small band can also use the system as a compact PA solution.

The powerful subwoofer provides enough low-end to make the music sound convincing.

For DJs

The POLAR 12 MK2 is also an attractive option for DJs.

The combination of a powerful 12-inch subwoofer and column top delivers a solid full-range sound.

Bluetooth functionality also makes it easy to add extra audio sources.

For mobile DJs looking for a system that fits easily in a car and sets up quickly, the POLAR 12 MK2 is a great solution.

For presentations

A PA system doesn’t always have to be extremely loud.

Intelligibility is at least as important.

The column construction of the POLAR 12 MK2 helps disperse speech widely throughout the room.

This makes the system suitable for:

• Presentations
• Workshops
• Seminars
• Corporate events
• Product launches
• Ceremonies

For weddings and parties

The POLAR 12 MK2 is a perfect fit for mobile events.

A wedding often requires one system for different moments:

ceremony → background music → speeches → dinner → party

A flexible column PA system can support all these applications.

And thanks to its compact design, the system is relatively easy to transport and set up.

Professional appearance

A PA system is often placed in the middle of a room.

Therefore, aesthetics are important.

The POLAR 12 MK2 has the recognizable sleek look of a modern column system.

It takes up relatively little visual space and fits well at events where you’d rather not have large traditional speaker stacks in view.

Mobile and easy to transport

The POLAR 12 MK2 is designed for mobile users.

The system consists of a subwoofer and column elements that can be easily stored and transported.

This makes it interesting for:

• DJs
• Artists
• Rental companies
• Presenters
• Bands
• Event companies
