System Expandability
With the SONAR 115 Sub D
POLAR MK2 systems can be expanded using compatible subwoofers from the HK Audio SONAR series, including the SONAR 115 Sub D, to extend low frequency performance and overall system output where required.
This allows the system to scale beyond standalone operation for larger event environments. For example, a stereo POLAR 12 MK2 setup combined with two SONAR 115 Sub D subwoofers can provide sound reinforcement for audiences of up to approximately 350 people.
Typical Usage Environments
The POLAR MK2 series is used across a wide range of portable and installed sound reinforcement applications. Its compact column design and integrated system architecture make it suitable for environments where fast setup, controlled coverage and consistent audio performance are required.
Live Music Performance
POLAR MK2 systems are used for acoustic acts, solo performers and small bands requiring clear vocal reproduction and even audience coverage. The column dispersion helps maintain consistency across the performance space without the need for complex speaker setups.
DJ and Mobile Entertainment
In mobile DJ and event environments, POLAR MK2 systems provide a compact alternative to traditional PA setups. They are commonly used for weddings, private events and venue-based entertainment where portability and fast deployment are important.
Corporate Events and Presentations
For conferences, business events and formal presentations, the system provides clear speech intelligibility and controlled dispersion across seated audiences. The compact footprint also helps maintain a clean and unobtrusive event space.
Weddings, Ceremonies and Celebrations
POLAR MK2 systems are frequently used for both indoor and outdoor wedding applications, including ceremony sound reinforcement, background music and evening entertainment. The slim column design helps maintain a minimal visual presence in event spaces.
Hospitality and Venues
Bars, restaurants, hotels and event spaces use POLAR systems for background and foreground music playback. The compact form factor allows discreet placement while still delivering consistent coverage across the venue.
