Nashville, TN (July 21, 2011) -- Available this year for the first time in the US, HK Audio (Summer NAMM booth 800) offers its Elements modular sound reinforcement systems, which merges the benefits of modern line array technology with the portability and easy handling of ultra-compact PA systems. Elements enables users to easily put together a system suitable for every situation using just six easy-to-combine components. The system can be configured to support anything from an intimate speaking engagement to a multi-instrumental concert with a full 3600 watts of front of house power. Due to their modular nature, Elements systems can be expanded rather than replaced as needs change, or quickly reconfigured for specific tasks.


In addition to dynamic subwoofers, Elements systems use multiple smaller speakers—a line array—to deliver even coverage and a uniform sound level. The precise 70 degree dispersion angle minimizes unwanted reflections, providing a coherent sonic image that helps to eliminate feedback. Musical quality and speech clarity are both greatly improved.

The Elements system consists of the following components.
E435: The elegant mid/high unit is made from extruded aluminum, is strictly based on line array technology, and provides a rich, even sound field. It houses four 3.5” broadband speakers, and with its mere 5.2 pounds., it’s a true lightweight. Thanks to E-Connect, the E435 quickly and easily connects with other modules.

EA600: Aesthetically and performance-wise, this amp module blends in well with the E435. The Class D power amp puts out 600 watts, enough for four mid/high units or one passive sub and two additional mid/high units. Weighing only 6.1 pounds, the EA600 is a breeze to tote.

EF45: This stand is equipped with extendable feet, serving as a solid base for mid/high units, amp modules or the mounting pole.

E110SubA:
This portable 10" subwoofer weighs only 41.9 pounds and delivers a precise low end. The digital class D power amp provides 600 watts, enough to feed another passive subwoofer or two more mid/high units. Equipped with two e-connect sockets, the E110SubA also serves as a base for additional elements. The integral handle makes it comfortable to carry.

E110Sub: For applications requiring more low end, this passive sub is the ideal add-on. It is powered by an active E110 or an amp module. To accommodate auxiliary elements, this sub is also equipped with an e-connect socket.

EP1:
The mounting pole facilitates rigging up smaller Elements setups. It is continuously adjustable and provides cordless signal routing to the mid/high units.

E435 – Mid/High Unit: $549
