Audio engineers, musicians, and singer/songwriters looking for portable, battery-powered PA system for voice and guitar will be impressed with theHK Audio MOVE 8, a battery-powered speaker that is suitable for a wide range of applications, offering top performance and easy handling.
The speaker utilizes 60W Class-D amplifiers to drive the 8″ woofer and 1″ high-frequency driver, which combine to offer a full-range frequency response (65 Hz to 18 kHz) with plenty of volume to cover an audience (123 dB SPL). The MOVE 8 features a four-channel mixer with 2-band EQ and a reverb effect. Channels 1-2 feature combo XLR-1/4″ mic/line inputs, while channel 3 provides a 1/4″ input, dedicated for Hi-Z inputs such as a guitar. Channel 4 features a 3.5mm Aux input as well as the Bluetooth receiver. The MOVE 8 can be remotely controlled via the free Android/iOS MOVE 8 REMOTE app. Two batteries and a power supply are included.
Familiar PREMIUM PR:O Sound QualityMOVE 8 delivers the familiar transparent PREMIUM PR:O full-range sound with high speech intelligibility and fatigue-free listening. A highly efficient 8″ bass/midrange speaker offers powerful and impressive performance, even at high volumes, with long battery life at the same time. The 1″ driver with horn provides an excellent and balanced sound up to 20 kHz. All components are built into a light and stable multi-functional wooden housing, which can be placed vertically on a speaker stand thanks to the speaker stand flange or horizontally as a floor monitor.Uninterrupted Battery ReplacementThe Dual Battery Slot can hold the supplied batteries. The loudspeaker can be powered by one or both batteries simultaneously. The highlight: during operation, a tool-free battery replacement can be performed without interruption (‘Hot Swap’ function). Even Bluetooth audio streaming remains.Integrated 4-Channel MixerThe integrated 4-channel mixer with modern Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming, Master control, and Aux input make an external mixing console unnecessary for most applications with microphone, keyboard, acoustic guitar, or DJ equipment. In addition, the mixer offers direct access to EQ and Reverb for channels 1 to 3. Thanks to the switchable cab simulation, guitar pedals connected to the instrument input sound authentic.MOVE 8 REMOTE AppThe free MOVE 8 REMOTE App is not just a remote control for your MOVE 8it also adds some sophisticated features that make it even more fun. The App can be used to control all the channel settings (EQ, reverb, volume) as well as the master volume. In addition, a 2-band EQ is available for channel 4 (Aux/Bluetooth), and the karaoke function can be activated for Bluetooth audio streaming and Aux In, including Vocal Cancellation and Transpose. The integrated effects (chorus, tremolo, and flange) as well as the 3 Celestion cab simulations can be selected on channel 3 and can be used to optimize the sound of an electric guitar, for example. All EQ settings can also be stored and quickly recalled.SpecificationsPortable PA System
