Facts & Features

DuoTilt™ – making the most of sonic energy

The novel DuoTilt ™ pole mount allows sound energy to be utilised far more efficiently. DuoTilt™ 
offers 3° and 7° angles of tilt, enabling precise speaker-to-audience alignment. Acoustic 
interference from ceiling reflections is minimized, leaving the sound cleaner, tighter, and much 
more articulate. Mono Tilt 3™ (PR:O 8) offers one angle of tilt.

Passive Crossover in Bass Systems 

The two PREMIUM PR:O bass bins sport a sophisticated cross over that sends all low-end 
frequencies to the woofer and all mid-range and high frequencies to the connected satellite. This 
frequency separation affords you the audio benefits of a truly homogenous sound system, free of 
the  pitfalls of overlapping phases that frequently plague lesser PAs.

Modular System

The PREMIUM PR:O Series is modular so that mid/-high units may be combined with the 
PR:O 18 S / PR:O 210 S bass bin at will. This modularity extends to the  acoustic domain: Like 
every HK AUDIO system, PREMIUM PR:O Series components are meticulously matched. Regardless 
of the PREMIUM PR:O Series configuration, you are sure to enjoy that trademark excellent 
HK AUDIO sound!

Dynamic Protective Circuitry for the High-frequency Driver

PREMIUM PR:O Series mid/high units and monitors are equipped with special protective circuitry. 
Located in the high-frequency signal path, it limits output  levels whenever the high-frequency 
signal level  approaches the 1" driver’s overload threshold. 

The PREMIUM PR:O Series comprises PR:O 8,  
PR:O 12 and PR:O 15 fullrange speaker cabinets,  
PR:O 18 S and PR:O 210 S subwoofers and  
PR:O 10 X, PR:O 12 M and PR:O 15 X monitors.
