Back to Square ONE

The Square ONE range has been designed and conceived by Klark Teknik to offer audio professionals a range of high-performance audio equipment at an accessible price point, which combine no-compromise sonic quality with a feature set containing all the essentials.

"Klark Teknik has heavily moved into highly technological digital EQ design over the past few years, as the international audio industry has seen," says Milton Kyvernitis, Sales Manager for Midas Consoles Middle East. "Regardless, many audio professionals still like to use pro-analogue equipment, and now with Square ONE in the market, they can easily invest in pure Klark Teknik technology that guarantees pure Klark Teknik performance at a more accessible price point."

The Square ONE range consists of the Square ONE graphic equaliser and the Square ONE dynamics, an 8-channel configurable dynamics processor that fits in just 3U's of rack space. Klark Teknik is well known for being a premium brand in the market producing feature-high equipment, but Square ONE address a whole new price point, making them more attractive for more medium-sized rental companies and smaller installation projects.

Features of the Square ONE graphic include 45mm faders with integral dust guards; signal present and clip LEDs; fully balanced inputs and outputs; relay activated bypass; PROportional Q filters; high pass and low pass filters; universal power supply and roadworthy 3U steel chassis.

The Square ONE dynamics has been designed to provide eight channels of flexible, configurable, high-performance dynamics processing in one 3U package. Users can select the required mode of operation, allowing the multi-mode dynamics processor to function as a default compressor (RMS sensing type); 'vintage' compressor (peak sensing type); broadband frequency-conscious compressor; Hi-Q frequency-conscious compressor (de-esser); limiter; expander or gate.

Square ONE dynamics also provides i-TS (intelligent threshold shift) in conjunction with the gate hold function to reduce chattering within the gate; stereo and multi-channel operation, solo buss operation; 6-segment, 3-colour input meter and 10-segment attenuation depth meter.
