I run a small production company and I installed an HK Elements system in a local church and they loved it. It has a very clear warm sound, good dispersion and feedback rejection, really well built and very portable. In my current setup I have an EV ETX 8kW PA which is epic sounding for rock gigs but it weighs 200 kilos os I'm buying 2 Polar 12 systems for smaller gigs and probably 2 more for dry hire. I Iike the Bose systems for lite acoustic gigs but the HKs project so much better... just a bigger sound...chest oomph indeed but very controlled! And the price point of the Polars is exceptional! Thank you! 😁👍

I had the pleasure of mixing on these for a week. I’m an 18-year Engineer, and honestly, I was completely blown away with this small array and what it’s capable of. It doesn’t make sense that such a small and simple design can deliver sound so rich, full, and adrenaline-inducing! If anyone reading this is in the market for a small array system, you can stop looking. The HK POLAR 12 is totally UNTOUCHABLE!

Good day. I have watched your full video review of HK polar 10/12 systems. Everything is very beautiful and informative, I plan to buy one of these systems. However, neither on your official website nor in the information manual, when reviewing the technical specifications of these systems, I find only the declared power of the 2000 W Class D amplifier. How do I guess this is the peak power of this system? Could it be possible to capture the power of RMS in these systems?

POLAR 12 VS RCF J8 WATH IS THE BETTER IN APLICATIONS TO BASS MUSIC AND DJ MUSIC ?

@scottgleisner2082 3 жыл бұрын

I have a pair of both! The J8's are solid sounding and a bit lighter in weight. However, the plastic sub cabinets are known to crack on the top corners. Its just cosmetic but for the price, I expect better. Sound wise, the Polar 12, are notably better. Bass response is tighter, mids and highs are clearer and sound more natural. I have used and or heard most the column arrays on the market, except the new Bose L1 pro lineup. Can say with confidence, the Polar 12 is the best column array for the price. Great features, easy to use, top notch build quality. 5 year warranty, comes with padded cover and bag for the tops. Cannot beat the value really.

@ehen3572 2 жыл бұрын

I have both the Polar 12 and the J8, personally I think the Polar12 is better. The only problem I have with the Polar 12 is it clips too easy compared to the J8. The J8 is not as loud as the Polar 12 but it's a lot more convenient for me as a mobile dj.

You can run in stereo no problem but dont think you will be able to control the subs separately at the mixer. They have a seperate dial on the unit but I dont see how you could do it from the mixer? The mixer certainly helps with sound due to having pre amps and better eq control when paired with your Polars.

These systems are distributed in Canada by Yorkville Sound and they are quite literally one of the best companies of the 40 or so franchises I own, sell, and represent for easy, fast, cost free warranty replacements of all products that they sell to us dealers and end users. Not that they are problematic at all. My best seller hands down like 3+ years running. No other brand is as good and if it is its double or triple the price. I've yet to find a better column array for value or sound.
