-style PA to hit the market. Systems like this that combine a tall vertical array of speakers with a single, powerful subwoofer containing a mixer and all the system connectivity, have been popular with DJs and solo performers for many years. It’s worth mentioning that this is not HK’s first venture into this style of PA either. Their Elements range has been around for a number of years and you may remember that I the Elements Gala system for Pro Mobile back in 2018.

So not only does the HK design team have a fantastic audio pedigree, they also have experience creating this kind of system, which bodes well for the Polar 10. The new system features a 10-inch subwoofer with an extra-long voice coil. It’s housed in a wooden box with curved edges that has been designed to minimise resonance yet give enough room to allow the bass speaker to do what it does best. This design results in a much bigger bottom end than you would expect from such a small LF unit, especially when you compare it to other systems in the same class.

You also get a two-piece column array, one of which is a spacer and the other contains six 3-inch neodymium midrange drivers and a 1-inch compression driver. The high-performance midrange speakers give you a perfect distribution of audio around the room whilst the compression driver, with its high 120-degree dispersion, offers astounding HF response. I should also mention that you can set up the Polar 10 without the spacer, which is handy if you are on a stage, for example.

An XLR [POLAR output socket is also supplied for bags taking a mix of all the channels and feeding it into another active system if required. You also get a handy backlit LCD display, which shows the input levels for the four channels and also provides access to the internal 24-bit DSP. This is facilitated via the Master level SHTKA AYUINDGIO M POOBLILAER udio Polar 10 The Polar 10 is powered by a 2000Watt Class D power amplifier.

HK don’t give an RMS figure, but the max SPL is calculated at 126dB. The frequency response is much better than other similar systems too, at 38Hz - 20kHz, which I believe is down to the remarkable HK engineering team. I was really looking forward to using the Polar 10 for the first time and it really did not disappoint. It’s easy to move about and comes with padded bags for protection.
