Active portable column speaker

Compared to other models in its category, Polar 12 stands out for its impressive depth down to the lowest frequencies, as well as its extremely comprehensive range of features, including an integrated mixer and Bluetooth 5. High-quality speakers deliver exceptionally transparent and natural sound from deep bass to the most refined highs. This ensures an XXL sound experience in every scenario, from discreet background music during dinner to the energetic climax of the event.

The 24-bit DSP in Polar 12 delivers a homogeneous, low-distortion sound experience across the entire frequency range. The combination of a 1" tweeter, six high-performance midrange drivers and an LF speaker provide extended throw and wide coverage. The solid cabinet is made of MDF wood and houses a powerful 2000W amplifier.

The integrated DSP includes three selectable modes (Music, Speech and DJ) and features a selectable parametric equalizer on the Master to adapt the tonal output to the venue. Additionally, five settings can be saved as user presets and recalled when needed.

When used for events in very large halls or outdoors, Polar 12 can easily function as a delay speaker. Simply set the distance of the Polar 12 from the main PA using the integrated display and the DSP automatically calculates the appropriate delay based on distance.

Volume controls for the four channels, master volume and subwoofer are directly accessible in all operating situations. Less frequently used settings, such as the semi-parametric master EQ, can be adjusted via a rotary push control and easy-to-read display.

The connection system neatly links the mid/high unit, spacer and subwoofer in a convenient, secure and rattle-free manner. No cables required.

With its wide 120° coverage and low feedback tendency, Polar 12 is ideal for stage placement. In many cases, no additional stage monitor is needed at all. Polar 12 can be installed without the lower segment of the column, making it easy to adjust the height from which sound is emitted, for example when used on a raised stage. The gradually decreasing volume level ensures consistent sound pressure even at distance.

When positioned on the ground, the subwoofer, spacer, and mid/high unit of Polar 12 combine to create the ideal vertical orientation for both standing and seated audiences.
