The renowned German brand HK Audio continues to establish itself as one of the leaders in the portable sound system market with the launch of its brand-new Polar MK2 generation. This eagerly awaited series brings significant improvements compared to its predecessor in terms of sound quality, ergonomics, and connectivity. Now available at Woodbrass, it will surely appeal to musicians, DJs, event organizers, and professionals seeking a powerful, compact, and versatile system.
An optimized acoustic design
The Polar MK2 range stands out with a carefully redesigned acoustic column. Each speaker is equipped with six 3-inch midrange drivers and a 1-inch horn tweeter, ensuring a precise and even 120° sound dispersion. This innovative system guarantees clear and intelligible sound reproduction, even in challenging venues, without dead zones or frequency loss.
The subwoofer, a true highlight of the Polar MK2 series, is crafted from robust multiplex wood. This ensures minimal resonance and deep, perfectly controlled bass. Available in a 10-inch version with the Polar 10 MK2 Black and Polar 10 MK2 White, as well as a 12-inch version for increased power with the Polar 12 MK2 Black and Polar 12 MK2 White, it adapts perfectly to any setup and acoustic requirement.
A built-in 4-channel mixer for total autonomy
With the Polar MK2, HK Audio directly addresses the needs of mobile users and demanding professionals. Each model comes with a highly versatile built-in 4-channel mixer: two combo XLR/Jack inputs with phantom power, a Hi-Z instrument input, and an auxiliary input with Bluetooth compatibility. No need for an external mixing console — this all-in-one system makes it easy to deliver musical performances, speeches, or DJ sets.
The intuitive user interface also offers advanced DSP functions such as presets (Music, Voice, DJ), a fully adjustable 3-band EQ, and five user memories for saving custom settings. Another valuable feature is the delay adjustment, allowing optimization of sound diffusion according to venue size.
Enhanced connectivity and mobility
In addition to its outstanding acoustic performance, the Polar MK2 range integrates highly anticipated practical features. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 technology, it is now possible to pair two Polar MK2 systems in stereo without any cables. This TWS (True Wireless Stereo) function is especially appealing for users looking for a quick, simple setup without wiring constraints.
Another notable innovation is the inclusion of a USB-C port, enabling direct charging of smartphones, tablets, or wireless receivers during events. A practical detail that proves very useful in live situations, particularly during long performances.
Easy transport and quick setup
HK Audio has also redesigned the overall look of its Polar MK2 models to make transport and installation easier. The speakers assemble quickly thanks to a robust mechanical connector, with no visible cabling. Each model comes with padded covers to protect the speakers during transport, while ergonomic handles make them much easier to carry.
Finally, an optional transport trolley is available for even greater mobility — ideal for regular events or professionals who need to travel frequently.
Which model to choose: Polar 10 MK2 or Polar 12 MK2?
If you mainly host solo performances, speeches, or medium-sized DJ sets (up to about 200 people), the Polar 10 MK2 is ideal thanks to its compact design and lightweight build. Conversely, if you’re looking for more power — particularly for dynamic musical performances or events with up to around 250 people — the Polar 12 MK2 is a more suitable choice with its extended bass response.
Both models are available in black or white, letting you adapt your choice to the aesthetics of your events, weddings, private parties, or professional installations in stylish venues.

The HK Audio Polar MK2 range, now available at Woodbrass, represents a major leap forward in portable sound systems. With substantial improvements in acoustics, connectivity, ergonomics, and mobility, these versatile speakers perfectly meet the demands of modern users while maintaining excellent value for money.
