Our acoustical engineers had but one mission in mind for our flagship line of point source speakers – to get the most out of these remarkably compact housings. They succeeded. The latest in high-performance woofers from industry-leading makers deliver impressive bass response.

The 24 dB crossovers and the newly developed horns with unusually large apertures reduce the overlap between the bass and HF channels to conjure richly detailed, articulate mids. This high-fidelity audio performance has another invaluable practical advantage: the minimized distortion increases the effective maximum sound pressure level by several dB.

The new CONTOUR X series’ hard-wearing housings are built to withstand the rigors of the road and deliver years and years of reliable service on the touring circuit. The solid birch multiplex enclosures are certainly tough enough. Painstakingly crafted at the HK Audio joinery in St. Wendel, Germany, they come with an extremely rugged PU finish and a steel front grille treated with an anticorrosive coating. And with ingress protection that is compliant with IP44 regulations, CONTOUR X speakers are very good at keeping dirt and moisture at bay.

Everything about these speakers is engineered for the realities of life on the road. With rotatable horns, four NL4 Speakon ports with Pin Assignment switches, two different monitor angles, many rigging and mounting options, and much more, this highly practical feature set is extensive enough to satisfy the demands of diverse applications. The ready-to-go tuning is another no-muss, no-fuss timesaving feature: CONTOUR X speakers deliver professional quality right out of the box, even without a controller.

CONTOUR X was designed from the bottom up to be an integrative part of the new HK AUDIO rental portfolio. That means the power amp racks, software and C-Sub series subwoofers are all a perfect match and seamless fit for both CONTOUR X and the COSMO line arrays. This saves you money, training time and storage space.

Speech reinforcement, on-stage monitoring, club FOH, front-fills—CONTOUR X can do most of everything and all of it well. Practically every event benefits from having CONTOUR X on hand.

CX 12 – The first class workhorse

With the benefit of its dual-purpose housing, the CX 12 can serve as both an FOH and a monitor speaker. This unit‘s hallmarks include extremely high maximum SPL and excellent speech intelligibility. The CX 12‘s high-frequency horn was optimized using the BEM (Boundary Element Method). Its phase response is uniform; its dynamic range astonishingly wide. All this adds up to a high-definition, strikingly transparent audio image with very precise directivity. What‘s more, multiple units are easily clustered. A high-quality PU finish and a front grille with anticorrosive coating provide armor-like protection on the road. The Speakon Pin Assignment switch on the rear panel sets the input signal to 1 +/- or 2 +/-. The CX 12‘s low-profile housing makes it the stage monitor of choice for demanding performers. It comes in left and right versions for symmetrical monitoring arrays. And if you wish set up a powerful two-way active system, we recommend that you pair this enclosure with HK AUDIO CS 118 or CS 218 subwoofers. It achieves the best audio results when paired with a Lab.Gruppen PLM+ power amp with a LAKE controller as well as with a Powersoft X-Series power amp. Applications: Fullrange sound reinforcement, near-field sound reinforcement with high SPL requirements, e.g. as an FOH top unit, front-fill, side-fill or drum-fill top unit and as a monitor on large stages
