Professional Sound Tools for Musicians
HK AUDIO´s new PREMIUM PR:O Series sets new standards in the category
of passive loudspeakers for musicians. Not only does this series offer superior
sound but it also comes standard with features that until now have only been
found on more expensive professional equipment. And of course the central focus,
as with all products from HK AUDIO®, is the sound—transparent, dynamic,
and evenly balanced across the entire frequency spectrum.
Professional Caliber Test Results
The quality of sound is reflected in the excellent test data of the PREMIUM
PR:O components, which compare very favorably with considerably more expensive
concert-sound-league products. Strikingly linear frequency response, very even
impedance response, precisely controlled transient response and decay, and the
unusually high SPL all contribute to a quality of sound far exceeding previous
category standards.
Professional Components
The “heart” of all PREMIUM PR:O full-range models is the new 1"
driver, which produces extremely low distortion even under heavy load, resulting
in wonderfully natural sound. In combination with the 60° x 40° horn
it ensures that these system provide even coverage for their intended venues.
The high-quality crossover of the subbass PR:O 18 subwoofer separates out the
low-frequency partials, thereby relieving the mid-range components of the bass
frequencies—a major factor contributing to the quality of sound and the
reliability of the entire system.
Professional Features and Finish
The high quality of the internal components of the new Premium PR:O Series
is matched externally by the sleek new look and the finish details. The ergonomically
shaped and positioned handgrips are recessed into the housing, and no parts
or screws jut out to damage auto upholstery or the like.
The full-range models also include flush-mounted threaded bushings to make
professional permanent installation easy. The Subbass likewise includes convenient
insert points for easily mounting the optional casters.
The trademarked DuoTilt™ speaker-stand mounting cup is a remarkably
simple and effective solution for aiming the speakers optimally at the audience
in any given venue. No complicated adjustments, no shaky stands, just fast,
professional setup.
