The newly released HK Audio Soundcaddy One
UK At PLASA Focus Leeds, John Hornby Skewes & Co (S-C12) is showing the new HK Audio Soundcaddy One, billed as "the world's fastest PA system". With integrated handles, built in wheels, and edge guards for fast, safe transport, Soundcaddy One is easy to move from home to the venue, and setup is even simpler: just extend the mid-/high-unit pneumatically, connect the signal sources to the integrated four-channel mixing console, and the system is ready to go, says the company.

Featuring six custom broad band speakers in vertical array, Soundcaddy One offers "all the superior benefits of a line array". Its 70° horizontal coverage pattern spreads sound evenly throughout the audience area.

The on-board subwoofer is loaded with three 6" woofers that provide the underpinning for the lower frequency range. And with all that, Soundcaddy One renders speech and music with remarkable authority and power. It can even deliver satisfying full range sound for smaller live concerts, adds the company.

The Soundcaddy One features an integrated 600W Class-D power amp and a four-channel mixing console. Made of die-cast aluminum, the mid-/high enclosure is loaded with six 3.5" broad band speakers with excellent reach, intelligibility, and a 70° horizontal coverage pattern. The pneumatic speaker pole automatically extends the system to a height of 2.10m.
