HK Audio PORTABLE SUB 115 A – Professional 15-inch Active Subwoofer
The HK Audio PORTABLE SUB 115 A is a powerful and versatile 15-inch active subwoofer for mobile PA systems, DJs, live music, events and professional sound reinforcement.
The subwoofer was developed as a universal low-end extension for the HK Audio LUNAR, SONAR and POLAR MK2 series. Thanks to the integrated presets, the PORTABLE SUB 115 A can be easily matched to the chosen HK Audio system.
With a 15-inch woofer, 1,400 watts peak power and maximum 131 dB SPL, the PORTABLE SUB 115 A delivers powerful yet controlled low-frequency reproduction.
One subwoofer for multiple HK Audio systems
One of the strengths of the PORTABLE SUB 115 A is its flexibility.
Via the presets, the subwoofer can be adapted to:
- HK Audio LUNAR
- HK Audio SONAR
- HK Audio POLAR MK2
- General LPF 100 Hz
This means you don’t have to use a separate subwoofer for every system. The PORTABLE SUB 115 A can be deployed within various mobile PA configurations.
Powerful 15-inch woofer
The PORTABLE SUB 115 A features a 15-inch woofer with 3-inch voice coil.
According to HK Audio, the frequency range extends to approximately 33 Hz (-10 dB), making the subwoofer a solid extension for full-range speakers.
The 15-inch configuration offers a great combination of punch, speed and low-end response, making it interesting for mobile applications where size and portability are also important.
1,400 watts peak
The built-in Class-D amplifier delivers:
700 watts RMS
and
1,400 watts peak.
The maximum SPL is 131 dB peak. This gives the PORTABLE SUB 115 A sufficient output for professional mobile applications.
24-bit DSP
HK Audio has equipped the PORTABLE SUB 115 A with 24-bit DSP.
The DSP adjusts the processing to the selected preset and optimizes the impulse response, among other things.
The result is a tight, controlled bass response with plenty of punch.
Built-in stereo preamp
A particularly practical feature is the integrated stereo preamp.
This allows the PORTABLE SUB 115 A to be used directly in a 2.1 system, without the need for an additional external crossover or processor.
The signal routing also features:
- Stereo input
- Thru outputs
- Gain control
- Polarity switch
This allows you to easily integrate the sub into various PA configurations.
Completely silent thanks to fanless cooling
The amplifier uses passive cooling and has no fan.
That means:
no fan noise and less dust in the electronics.
This is especially interesting for presentations, theater, corporate events and other applications where silent operation is important.
Additionally, a fanless design reduces maintenance on dust filters.
PORTABLE SUB 115 A for DJs
For DJs, the PORTABLE SUB 115 A is a very interesting extension to, for example, a pair of LUNAR 112 XA or LUNAR 115 XA.
The extra low-end gives dance, house, pop and other music styles more impact.
A compact professional set could consist of:
2 × HK Audio LUNAR 112 XA
1 × PORTABLE SUB 115 A
For larger productions, a second sub can of course be added.
PORTABLE SUB 115 A for POLAR MK2
The subwoofer is also designed to work perfectly with the HK Audio POLAR MK2 series.
Via the POLAR preset, the subwoofer is matched to the system.
This makes the PORTABLE SUB 115 A interesting for users who want to expand their compact column PA system with more low-end and more impact.
Robust wooden enclosure
The PORTABLE SUB 115 A has a sturdy MDF enclosure with a professional finish.
For transport, the sub features MultiGrip handles.
