DynaClip™ Limiter for the bass
power amp
HK AUDIO ® 's DynaClip™ technology is a dynamic
limiting function specifically developed for improved
low-end performance. DynaClip™ minimizes the
inharmonic distortion that limiting generates, and
thereby maximizes low-frequency energy usage and
enhances the overall efficiency of the LF power amp.
• perfectly matched to the LF power amp
• more low-end punch through more efficient
energy usage
Opto-Limiter for the mid/high-
range power amp
Mid/high-range signals and low frequencies are as
different as apples and oranges. So we use a different
kind of limiter with our mid/high-range power amps.
Our Opto-Limiter, which is based on technology
developed for high-end recording gear, ensures
minimized signal degradation, resulting in sound
that is pure and transparent.
• applies studio technology to live performance
systems
• improved signal quality due to lower distortion
near threshold
• enhanced performance resulting from higher
useable volume levels
• protects satellites from overload

Subsonic Filter

The integrated subsonic filter cuts unwanted ultra-low
frequencies. Infra-sub-bass signals resulting from
stage rumble, wind or similar sources place heavy
demands on the power amp to produce frequencies
so low that they exceed the useful range of the
speaker cabinet itself. The subsonic filter protects
the amp from these frequencies and thereby
increases the actual useable output power of the
entire system.
• protects power amp and speaker from harmful
ultra-sub-low frequencies
• enables cleaner and tighter bass reproduction
24 dB/octave Electronic Crossover
with phase correction
Using an electronic crossover rather than a passive
crossover allows for a much finer division of labor in
assigning the responsibility for certain frequencies
to certain parts of the speaker system. A steep slope
of 24 dB per octave ensures that each section of the
system receives only the frequencies it has been
designed for, enabling it to reproduce the signal
more cleanly and with finer detail.
• unlike passive crossovers, no signal power loss
