Celestion Impulse Responses Included in HK Audio’s MOVE 8 Battery-Powered Loudspeaker System
Celestion has announced that HK Audio’s new PREMIUM PR:O MOVE 8 loudspeaker system features three of the company’s most popular Impulse Responses, including the Celestion Greenback, the Vintage 30 and the Celestion Blue.
The new battery-powered MOVE 8 is the latest introduction in HK Audio’s PREMIUM PR:O series of loudspeakers. The MOVE 8 has a slot for two rechargeable batteries (included), which are either inserted simultaneously to extend the running time or inserted alternately to ensure uninterrupted playback (“Hot Swap”).
The Celestion Impulse Responses are included on MOVE 8’s instrument channel, in which the tones of the Celestion Greenback, Celestion Vintage 30 and Celestion Blue can be activated. This makes MOVE 8 an active, battery-powered guitar speaker and the perfect partner for mobile guitar preamps.
The accompanying MOVE 8 REMOTE App, in addition to controlling the speaker remotely, offers a host of additional sophisticated features such as a karaoke function with voice cancellation and pitch adjustment, as well as modulation effects for the instrument channel. 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.
“Celestion Impulse Responses have been growing steadily in the four years since their introduction to become the market leader in digital guitar tones,” says Ken Weller, Celestion Production Marketing Manager. “We are extremely pleased to welcome HK Audio as a partner and congratulate them on the launch of the innovative MOVE 8.”
“The new MOVE 8 combines impressive acoustic performance with superb battery management and fascinating features that are truly unique in its class”, says Rüdiger Forse, Senior Product Manager at HK AUDIO. “This combination makes it a real all-rounder for all musicians, DJs, speakers, music enthusiasts and audio professionals. With the PREMIUM PR:O MOVE 8, HK Audio has invented a new level of freedom in the use of mobile loudspeakers”.
