Sound Reinforcement Systems 2010 for Musicians, DJs and Bands

HK Audio A sensation in sound The ear is a marvel of bioengineering. Other neural messages have to travel further, but what we hear goes straight to the brain. This extensive auditory network is why sounds can inspire so many rich and complex emotions and responses. A single fleeting noise can evoke a sense of security and well-being or trigger our deepest anxieties. The ear provides us with valuable information about our surroundings. Tens of thousands of years in development, our auditory powers can help us discern surface textures, the position of objects in space, the speed at which we are traveling, and so much more. And not only that, but what we expect to hear shapes our perceptions of audio events, far more so than visual impressions or the collective experience of a group. The first commandment for loudspeaker systems is to preserve the source signal in all its natural glory. We believe that if it s clear, true and uncolored, the sonic image will delight performers and audiences alike. And that s why we go to such pains to design and develop speaker systems that render instruments and voices faithfully. Hear the source, not the speaker that s our mantra when we build speakers!

HK Audio More than 30 years experience When we began constructing speaker cabinets back in 1979, the complexities of human hearing played a lesser role. Lothar Stamer, the founder of HK AUDIO, simply sought to build better-sounding, more practical alternatives to the systems of the day. He painstakingly researched the functional and acoustical properties of horns and documented his findings in his master s thesis. His vision from the beginning was to develop a system tailored to musicians needs; a sound reinforcement solution built on technology that puts the artist and performance first; a PA that is powerful, flexible, and easy to use; a rig you can count on to deliver reliable results. In ensuing years, we partnered with some of the most celebrated speaker manufacturers; now loudspeakers that have been designed and built to our specifications feature prominently in all HK AUDIO systems. Today our development team is made up of many specialists. Experts specializing in acoustics, analog and digital electronics, and mechanical engineering work hand in hand with a small group of audio engineers, assessing the sound of every HK AUDIO product. Practical functionality and human auditory physiology are the yardsticks by which we measure a speaker s performance. And our most valuable tool is one of the world s most sophisticated Class 1 acoustical measuring rooms. It enables our engineers to investigate thoroughly, document in detail, analyze significantly, and methodically improve the audio properties and dynamic response of any given speaker system. And we do all this with a singular goal in mind to sound as true to the source as possible!

5 HK Audio Technology made in Germany Exemplary audio quality and utmost reliability made in Germany that s what HK AUDIO is all about. An unflagging commitment to research and development has been generating a steady stream of increasingly advanced technologies that give HK AUDIO loudspeakers an audible advantage over conventional products. These groundbreaking features are meticulously selected and finely tuned for each model of system to ensure it will deliver the best possible results for its intended applications. All HK AUDIO Active Cabinets and Active Systems are end-to-end audio solutions. Active and passive models are painstakingly matched so users can put together the combination that best suits their needs in any given situation. We develop sound reinforcement solutions that free users to focus fully on one essential thing their performance!

L.U.C.A.S Active Systems L.U.C.A.S Lightweight Ultra Compact Active System The next Generation Within a few short months of its debut in 1998, the original L.U.C.A.S system triggered a sea change on the market for compact sound reinforcement systems. Exceptional depth and detailing from soft to loud paired with ingeniously simple handling made it the venerable progenitor of the entire HK AUDIO L.U.C.A.S product family. In fact, it sired a new product category that sent many of the conventional compact sound reinforcement systems scurrying for cover, never to be seen again in some market segments. The newest generation of this best-selling product family embraces the first L.U.C.A.S generation s sought-after features and leverages state-of-the-art speaker and digital technology to attain an unprecedented level of performance. The original was a high-water mark in system engineering, but the new generation, even more compact, lighter, and able to deliver even more impressive sound with even greater reliability, raises the bar even higher. L.U.C.A.S ALPHA, the latest addition to the current L.U.C.A.S generation, is here. It is the first L.U.C.A.S rig designed specifically to satisfy the needs of bands and power DJs. Whatever your musical mission as a DJ, mobile entertainer or band may entail, one of the five L.U.C.A.S systems is sure to fit the bill. Supremely satisfying sound and the peace of mind that comes with it is just one good decision away.

The World s Most Compact High-End PA HK Audio charted new sonic territory with the L.U.C.A.S line. Now L.U.C.A.S ALPHA has arrived, bringing together the fabulous handling ease of L.U.C.A.S and the powerful performance of a big PA. And that makes this system a premium quality, cutting-edge sound reinforcement solution for bands and power DJs. Want to rock the house with your top-40 band? Or get the party pumping with your DJing rig? L.U.C.A.S ALPHA delivers the headroom you need to do both. Its speakers and pressure chamber drivers are high-performance components that have proven their merits for years in some of the most successful touring and rental PAs. Offering a total of 2000 watts power amp performance (the subwoofer provides 1200 watts; the satellites 2x 400 watts), this brawny rig pumps out big, bold sound. Packing a mighty low-end wallop, it throws midrange and high frequencies at sound pressure levels over 130 db. L.U.C.A.S ALPHA is a genuine plug & play system! With all components such as controllers, crossovers, power amps, and speakers on board, it offers the decisive advantage of a self-contained system. Our engineers were able to tweak levels, tone, and response to fine-tune the entire system rather than individual components. This saves you time and spares your nerves before every gig. In a nutshell: Simply plug in, play, and enjoy jaw-dropping sound! L.U.C.A.S ALPHA Subwoofer Equipped with an 18" subwoofer driven by a 1200-watt digital power amp, this power-house bass bin packs a big, bad bottom-end punch.

When I began developing PA systems 30 years ago, I was an engineer driven by the desire to create the stuff of my dreams, a sound reinforcement system that perfectly matched my wishes as a musician. The Holy Grail audio system I wanted would have to sound great, adapt to changing demands for size and power, and set up in no time at all. The HK AUDIO ELEMENTS system marks a milestone in this quest for perfection. ELEMENTS is the first system to pair the benefits of modern line array technology with the convenience of ultra-compact portable PAs. With just six components, a few twists of the wrist, and a minute or two of your time, you can configure your system as anything from a small PA for speech reinforcement to a band-approved stage rig. And that frees you to focus completely on what s elementary your performance! Dipl.-Ing Lothar Stamer

19 ELEMENTS However large or small your audience and the venue may be, you can put together a system suitable for every situation using just the six components of the HK Audio Elements system. The beauty of it is that you get a perfect match mechanically, electrically, and acoustically every time. You may opt for just two mid/high units to pipe in subdued background music, or for a powerful system with a solid bass foundation for your DJ gig. But whatever you want to do, Elements gets it done faster, easier, and with more space-saving convenience than ever before. The secret to your sonic success is the combination of cutting-edge line array technology and the innovative E-Connect coupler/bus. Just a few minutes are all it takes to set up an ELEMENTS system. And that s a promise. Simply link components via E-Connect, plug in your signal source, and let the show begin. Cords can be too long, too short, broken, and left behind, but you ll never give these inconveniences another thought when you opt for ELEMENTS. With E-Connect, all you need to sound off is a single signal-carrying cord from the mixing console to the system s amp (EA 600 or E 110 Sub A). Minimum space: ELEMENTS leaves a tiny footprint on stage. What s more, even the most powerful 3,600-watt version easily fits into a compact car with enough space left over for another musician and his or her guitar. Minimum effort: ELEMENTS sets up so easily you can even do it in your stage outfit. The ultra compact yet extremely robust components weigh just a few kilograms. Never again will you break a sweat setting up and tearing down your rig! Maximum elegance: ELEMENTS looks as modern as it feels. The elegant visuals not only impress the promoter, it also provides the perfect setting for your performance. Authentic HK AUDIO sound: ELEMENTS is a true line array that adapts to suit your needs. Go with one, two, or four mid/ high units, but know this: Whatever configuration you choose, an excellent match and awesome audio are assured - just like you have come to expect from HK AUDIO.

Active Systems for Bands and DJs Every note is on the money, each instrument sounds sweet. The band is well-rehearsed, tight like clockwork, and ready to strut its stuff in front of their faithful fans. After all, the goal of every band is to pull off a successful gig, play for an enthusiastic audience, and enjoy the pay-off for all their efforts. But the line between glee and gloom is thin. Among all the potential fun-killers at gigs, the sound system is by far the most common culprit. Hauling it demands brute force, and making sense of what seems like miles of cable demands patience. Often, despite an epic-length sound check, the system still fails to deliver decent sound. As if that weren t enough, the band is expected to play soothing background music during the cocktail hour, and then kick out the jams for a blowout bash to follow. Many systems for bands are heavy, hard to set up, and complicated. Racks, power amps, cords, speaker stacks even with all this, it only manages to sound decent at a medium volume level. Turn it up and the sound soon grates; back it off and it turns thin and puny.

35 Flexible Extensions XBA 18 F.A.S.T D.A.R.T Live concerts and club events can demand more from a band or DJs standard setup than the rig can deliver. If an event is just a little bit bigger than the PA is sized to cover, it gets hard to supply the audience out on the floor and the players on stage with satisfying signals. Other scenarios also require added sound reinforcement, for example, presentations, lectures, areas beyond the reach of the stage rig, and so forth. To rise to these sonic challenges, users need flexible compact solutions that are easy to setup and handle. The system s bass response falls short for this application. That one demands an even mightier low-end punch; another wants for compact monitors or flexible tools that are ready to accept signals from a range of different sources. In all these cases, the standard setup falls short of the mark. This is why HK AUDIO engineers developed The Flexible Set professional audio tools that quickly and easily extend standard setups to suit an even wider range of applications. The XBA 18 provides the perfect bottom-end boost for legacy active systems. Amps and controllers are onboard, so the XBA 18 sub-bass bin integrates into every system, simply and quickly. F.A.S.T and D.A.R.T offer straightforward, no-nonsense audio solutions, providing powerful, reliable performance for stages that need more monitors or outlying event areas requiring coverage.
