HK Audio POLAR 8 — 3-Way Active Compact Column System with Bluetooth 5.0 and Integrated Mixer
HK Audio POLAR 8 is a self-powered, 3-way floorstanding system that combines portability, wide coverage, and surprisingly powerful sound for its form factor. The modular array— an 8" subwoofer , spacer , and 6x2.5" mid/high-frequency speaker —assembles wirelessly using a plug-and-play system, offering a total height of 202.9 cm for optimal projection. The 1,200 W (peak) amplifier and fine-tuned acoustic design deliver up to 118 dB (peak SPL) with a 50 Hz to 20 kHz (–10 dB) response , delivering 120° × 45° coverage that’s seamless even in cluttered rooms. It features Bluetooth 5.0 with TWS (True Wireless Stereo) for linking two POLAR 8s in stereo, and a 3-channel mixer with mic/line, instrument, and aux inputs.
