Fresh, Friendly Mid/High Frequencies 

Since mid and high frequencies are a breed apart
from low frequencies, they are best handled with a
different type of signal processing. To this end, we
use a technology originally developed for high-end
recording, an opto-limiter. With its soft-knee attack,
this type of limiting is not at all harsh, but very
smooth, musical and inconspicuous. The original
signal is barely modified, leaving inherent dynamics
and natural sounds intact.
• Signal quality is maximized by keeping the
distortion to a minimum
• Soft-knee attack yields smooth, sweet and
inconspicuous limiting
• Non-invasive processing results in an unadulte-
rated signal with natural sounding dynamics

Subsonic Filter

Preventing Low Frequency Interference

The integrated subsonic filter eliminates accidental
and unintentional signals such footfalls, wind or
the sound of a hand accidentally brushing a micro-
phone. It cuts these frequencies drastically, freeing
energy to render bass impulses better. Goodbye
squashed dynamics and artificial sound, hello
authenticity and natural sounding low/mid
frequencies.
• Increases power and volume in the useful
frequency range
• Protects power amps and speakers from harmful
ultra-low frequencies

Digital Amping

Enhanced Efficiency and Dynamic Response

With an efficiency rating topping the 90% mark,
digital power amps are smaller, lighter and more
compact than comparable conventional amps. 
The reduced thermal load on components clearly
enhances reliability. The slew rate is far faster and
the damping factor is higher, resulting in audibly
more responsive and accurate performance.

• Outperforms analog power amps in efficiency for
greater reliability and lower current consumption
• Faster signal transmission for enhanced dynamic
response

Easy Setup and Handling

Less Pre-Gig Stress for a Better Show

All HK AUDIO Active Systems were designed as
cohesive units consisting of perfectly matched
components. Painstaking effort was invested in
developing systems that are easily transported and
swiftly set up. Operation couldn't be easier; endless
tweaking is a thing of the past.
• A true system design: All components were
perfectly matched for performance as a unit.
• Fast set-up and effortless handling saves time and
spells less pre-performance stress.

DuoTilt™

Making the Most of Sonic Energy

The new DuoTilt™ speaker stand mounting collars
allow sound energy to be utilized far more efficiently.
The DuoTilt™ offers downward angles of 7.5° and 15°
to better aim the mid/high-range cabinets directly at
the audience. Troublesome ceiling reflections are
minimized; the soundscape is clearer, tighter and
more focused.
• Tilts at angles designed for the best possible
alignment of the enclosure to the audience
• Minimizes ceiling reflections, maximizes energy
efficiency

Multi-band Limiting

Specialized limiting for each frequency range

Several limiters, each specializing in its own
frequency range, work side by side to keep the entire
system under control. This ensures even dynamic
response and punchy projection for a highly musical
sound across the entire frequency spectrum.
• Tighter low--end punch, snappier kick
• Clean, emphatic mids for smooth, rich vocals
• Transparent, glossy highs with extra headroom
• Speaker overload protection
