HK Audio

HK Audio seemed delighted with its 2005 concert touring series, which includes the well-known Cohedra and Cohedra Compact series, but also now the four new models in the ConTour Series. All two-way cabinets in the ConTour Series can be used either alone as full-range cabinets, or as mid/high units in combination with the CT 118 subwoofer or Cohedra CDR 210/CDR 210 C subs. The CT 112 and CT 115 models are equipped with internal passive crossovers that can be switched out for bi-amped operation. The CT 112 and CT 115 feature the new BEM Technology 60° x 40° CD horn, which provides precise directivity and allows multiple cabinets to be clustered optimally without phase issues. The horn can also be rotated easily by a quarter turn. In addition HK introduced various upgrades to its existing Elias, Premium and Actor ranges of speakers.

However, aside from all of the above the company seemed particularly enthusiastic about its new DuoTilt speaker-stand mounting cup, which allows the speakers to be optimally aimed at the audience. Flexibility and looks seemed to be the order of the day - one spokesman said jokingly: "Who cares about the character if it doesn't look good?"
