Any one got any opinions on the HK Audi Contour active line array systems?

Reviving a very old thread?
Anyway, I've never heard of HK Audio. Looked it up looks like cheap Chinese crap. Also rather low output for the modules as well.

Ah yes - more well known in Europe than over the pond ( like everyone else may well now manufacture in china - but are a German company)

I think HK is Hummel and Klein.  IIRC there are/were distributed here by Sennheiser USA.

This is what I found for "HK Audio" http://hkaudio.us/index.php  they have the line array he listed. It doesn't look to be the same as Hummel and Klein to me.

Is that a rebadged BOSE system?? I heard that system once, and once was more than enough.

I wasn't referring to the column array.. It's this one here I was referring to.. http://hkaudio.com/products.php?sid=11  I wouldn't care for one. They even look cheap.

Well   they can be classed as relatively cheap - was simply wondering if anyone had heard or used them.
... A drawback is that for each top you need a corresponding sub to power it.

Best bang for the buck line-array system for a maximum of 800-1000 people which incorporate the following characteristics.
Powered Cabs
Budget 12-15k
Portability is high Priority
Clean Crisp mids & highs
Must have more of a "power punch" for bass rather than a vibratory shake.
Would prefer used for the purpose of depreciation savings but New is fine also.
Thanks for your help.

I think you would be best of trying to purchase a used KF650 rig.... Quite a few good deals on the market for such kit. And it is good kit with the right processing!
