Bluetooth TWS

     With Bluetooth TWS (True Wireless Stereo), stereo audio streaming via two SONAR Xi models is a breeze. Two linked SONAR Xi speakers can even be controlled remotely at the same time via the Remote app.

     The SONAR REMOTE app for iOS and Android tablets and smartphones is so much more than just a remote control for the built-in digital mixer. It lets you control all settings and functions of the SONAR Xi models, including the parameters of the 3-band EQ for each channel. You can also save scenes to make regularly used presets available on demand, such as adjustments to frequently used microphones, modified SONAR Xi setups or basic configurations for different locations.

     All settings that are changed in the app are simultaneously shown in the SONAR Xi speaker display, and vice versa! Both displays sync up in real time.

CARDIOID PRINCIPLE

      The cardioid principle is all about cancelling out frequencies radiated to the rear. While medium and high frequencies can be radiated in directional patterns, low frequencies are spherical. This often leads to an unpleasant excess of low bass on and behind the stage. Organisers are also increasingly setting precise demands for sound distribution, for example in marquees and urban stages.

     The SONAR 115 SUB D meets all the requirements, both mechanically and acoustically, to implement effective cardioid setups quickly and easily, reducing the low bass radiated to the rear by up to 30 dB! This not only makes performing on stage much more relaxed, it also results in a better sound, as microphones no longer pick up unwanted low frequencies.

     A second SONAR 115 Sub D can be used to increase the sound pressure level in the bass range. The classic full-stack setup (shown on the left) with two subs projecting forward boosts the sound pressure by level 3 dB in all directions. But what makes the SONAR 115 Sub D so special are its cardioid capabilities. It has two special presets that allow you to configure a cardioid setup (shown on the right), where the lower sub projects to the rear, without the need for any complex calculations or time correction.

     To do this, simply direct the lower SONAR sub to the rear and select the Cardioid Rear preset, and direct the upper sub to the front, selecting the Cardioid Front preset. Now both subs can play perfectly together without having to make any further adjustments.

Multifunctional speaker with extremely powerful bass and superb features

     The SONAR 115 Xi is an powered, state-of-the-art loudspeaker that provides top sound, whether as a full-range speaker, as a stage monitor or as a satellite in combination with a subwoofer. The 15″ woofer and meticulous HK AUDIO acoustic engineering deliver a powerful bass experience, even if you don’t want to use a separate subwoofer.

     SONAR 115 Xi offers three input channels: two for microphone or line signals plus one AUX channel, which receives analogue signals as well as via Bluetooth 5.0. Music can be streamed in stereo to two SONAR Xi speakers via Bluetooth TWS (True Wireless Stereo). The volume and 3-band EQ for each channel can be adjusted intuitively using the rotary control and colour display. Thanks to the free SONAR app (for iOS and Android), all functions can also be controlled remotely for added convenience.
