All user reviews for the HK Audio Elias PX System

How long have you use it?

I used this material for a bit more than 1 year.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Before and even ttemps use of this material I used in system "sub + satellites" equvalent, RCF, the FBT, the dynacord of PhaseSonic of MacMah of Wharfedale, HK ELIAS first version and now still in my possession, Bose (LineArray) and Pyrit.

Type of use and / or frame in which this material was used?

Use of this material for sound to the acoustic group, type the trio in September and on music typed jazz, acoustic folk ... or PRESTAT DJ ... etc.. indoors and / or outdoors.


What is the particular feature you like best and least?

more:
-Good balance system ... Two subs plus two heads that go great together and give a natural balance of powers (good internal quality filters) following musical styles with sound of course.
Natural audio quality of the system, close Hifi (so to speak) .. so it is quite simple to take control of the set for a novice.

Cons:
Justly filters! well filtered for an amateur but too filtered for professionals.
What makes you to not really hands on what comes out in front ... and it is as frustrating as it is complicated mix and really put his "foot" on the record of its facade in the end ... typed as its too ...
Weight and volume ... very heavy for the promised power is also not reached I think .. (comparison made with FBT or RCF, and even then in my possession PYRIT announcing the same or slightly more ...)
plus it is too large and poorly studied regarding ergonomics, so super complicated to wear and it takes place ...
-Robustness ... less than a year PRESTAT ... direction service for a sub ... amp smoked ...


How would you rate the quality / price?
With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Value for money .. I find very very expensive system for the "real" power system .. and the audio output on the front ..
However it remains good material still not be too hard, although I am very very disappointed for the purchase price (especially the purchase price!)

So .... no! I probably do not remake this choice ... especially if I had known that a system like PYRIT (I suddenly I kept in place since and is still running today), give me power (sound pressure) higher (in real test! ! asking the two equivalent systems in a stereo PRESTAT (one on each side of the stage) ...
and more ... well ... ultimately a very similar sound quality when you know how to work! (Has more than half the price of new ... it makes you wonder ...

To me (and this is just my opinion on ... well some amateur friends likes HK ... so made your experience even before you make a decision ... and do not take my advice as word of gospel ...!), HK is no longer what it was and maybe even worse .. and that's a shame.

Hello, I'm Nathan and I turned my evening ELIAS 2 years 1 / 2 (over 7 years of night). I think that level power / size / price, there is no better. You have almost one kilowatt of big sound. The Systm mounts in 5 minutes. I hosted an evening with 500 people in a large room. Honntement: Gnial. But it should not have been a much larger room because j'tais near the max. But near the bottom for 5 or 6 hours, it does not move a muscle. The only default that he is down low enough in the infra ... What is needed is an equalizer for a little while back a. But I swear to you (and those who will not say one otherwise) or house techno mix box of scne derrire this is so enjoyable ... I regret to me to be elsewhere spar but ... Tampa! Those who still hsite between what Systm and other "equivalent" speakers + amp, drop ... There's no photo. For example, I j'hsitais with 2 yamaha speakers in 38cm + 2 boxes 46 cm + 2 amps. Dja c'tait a little more, and more for the hearing ... Nothing to do!
In short, those who want a big powerful well with little emcombrement: Dark eyes closed!

Come on, all biz! Nathan.

Hello,
I bought this system a month ago to replace 4 FCR ART300A. I wanted to move from one system to a 4 satellites + satellite box.
I play in a band variety (wedding dances), with:
mikes song
brass
keyboards
accordion
battery
low
guitar

What I missed most of the FCR, the punch of the bass drum and bass rounder.
Hop, 15 days ago, the first evening with these speakers, correct balance, beginning of the game and then we are told "ho, it's too loud, turn down guys," what we do ... What a mistake .... The balance is found it completely wrong. Indeed, lowering the volume, bass remain very present, but the medium / high have completely been neutralized! Result, more voices, more scratches ... Basically a battoche and 2 keyboards, this is what you could hear before ...
Last Saturday night re-always with the HK, and there, terrible, powerful battery, voices that stand out far above all (and shure sm58 BETA58), low well-rounded and well presented, clear and clean a scratch.

So to summarize:
- Excellent system, but be careful because the medium / treble are very present in the medium / large volume, but quickly become weaklings low level
- Not too heavy to carry, handles damn well, exterior quality
- Highly efficient ventilation
- Sufficient power for rooms of 500 people
- Plus: breaking ground in case of hum
- Broad satellite broadcast, even putting himself on the side, the sound is clear, no "big hole" in the spectrum of listening

Finally, despite a difficult start, no regrets, the sound is there, as the power quality. I also tried a little DJ mode, forget the mp3, it's really too flat, give everything a good CD on this system is impressive.

I had used yesterday for the concert reggae dub (room 200 m2)
So honestly there is nothing good in the heads, I do not understand comments like this sound you can (a hurleeeeeeee), I still looking for the medium when the solidity scared. The subs are sluggish, but the result is not dsagrable what I was looking for in terms of bass and bass drum.

I work on systems rgulirement FCR and NEXO.
Also yesterday I had the good ide to a Sub RCF ART 705AS and ART 325 (I thought back to set scne drummer) rsultat I just kept the two sub HK the two heads HK went back drummer (feedback RCF ART 325 2 + 2 + 1 sub HK SUB RCF ART 705 AS n'tait this dgueu but not diffrance between HK subs FCR and scary)
The equalo for HK heads back fesait cum really short yesterday's bad.

So I really do not understand people like and comments are rooms 500 people with this Systm?? a scream from this system does nothing.

Plutt brief visit in FCR no photo.

I put 2 because the subs have served me well (APRS good correction)

I use it for 2 years, no problem, his own HK & clear is great & filtered if the sources are "cured" you will draw business in most cases (live music, or DJ) sound with punchy bass Property & round & voices & instruments carved goods.
Also note the importance of the dual head tilt with respect to the comment above about a "his supposedly screaming," indeed the angle is chosen according to the height of room and the height of the stage & then everything becomes clear.
Even outdoor range is amazing & what about the implementation of the system?
I had a dual Actor of the CPA, the Electrovoice, the FCR, the Altec & JBL's the concept is copied but unmatched sound system I rock bands & varieties, choirs, speech, and always the satisfaction of a clear & precise.
The value for money is OK if it again without a doubt I plunged back with eyes closed for the HK.Dans this price range there is no better.

Before selling it, yes, with all age becomes heavier, I give my opinion on the Systm HK Elias.
Bought new in 2002 (2800) not easy to find a (good) sound average power to broadcast the live room as well (guitar, synth bar, vocals) as the CD and even MP3's, I hsit between a and the system Nexo PS8 (3800). Dj price n'tait not the same but hey, when you have it right.
And even though not APRS have tried both, I chose the HK, and a table derrire Mackie CFX 12 was a hit. Elias small imperfections are corrected with the table, especially the equalizer as well as by a parameter.
Easy to use, in a dining room with 30 people, or in a room of 300 FTEs. With a good table, you can rgler distance volume comfortable and enjoyable for the dancers, without abasourdire the back of the room.
I never had any bad reviews on the sound is plutt "great sound".
What is nice about this sound is to be able to connect 4 satellites with one or two back, and when you sing is not superfluous, it is necessary and everything is in, no need to amp supplmentaire.
Sufficiently powerful, well-rounded bass sound trs own, and in addition, reliable, never had a ppin with. It (c'tait) IDAL training for small and DJ.
Qualitprix, I had plenty for my money.
If I found exactly the same thing but same quality polystyrene, I take it right away.

Hi,
I read all the reviews below and I think we should put some records straight.
First, we must put you in the head Ellias hk is a system of domestic and not a long range.
So obviously if used in full dodger max on a solid surface air, inevitably, it farts.
Now it's an EXCELLENT choice for musicaus, DJ, etc..
I personally prefer the premium system hk PRO 12 and PRO 18 with its assets in sub 18 and heads 12.
At low there is no comparison! Big potato!
For satellite, the correction is correct. Many attendance and heat at the top of the spectrum, it's hot and it sounds great.
I attack with a Ultra Curve 2496 and frankly, nothing to say.
As for the Ellias px are a hair thinner in the mids, highs, but ultimately, little difference listening but a big enough price difference between the two.
Me, I make my choice.

- How long do you use?
I use it for 6 months in scne configuration, that is to say: vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, percussion.

- What is the particular feature you like most?
What I like most is the fate that the satellites are amplified. To the song we use a Beta 87C emerges perfectly with this system.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I had the old Systm elias MODL with less power than this one.

- How do you report qualitprix?
The report price is good quality

- With the exprience, this choice would you do?
Yes, without problems.

on the other hand, be careful when using satellites alone. There're a switch (full range or stellite) if you use only the satellites position in full range or you will only treble!

How long have you use it?
Bought a year ago because I was looking for a flexible solution for diffrent uses:
- Indoor entertainment voice: 600 people
- Indoor Rock concert: 350 people
- Indoor confrence: 400
- Hard Rock collection outdoor: 300 people

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Difficult to give one more:
- Quality overall sound
- Precision across all frequencies (with a small legalization)
- Maneuverability (Compact / lightweight / rugged)

What I like least?
The inclination of the heads that I find no top. Depending on the configuration, I simply put the head on the box with no bar, sometimes I hang the heads on the bridge (orientation complex but it's OK!)

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I tried the basic Elias and I n'tais not convinced, a little too much noise in the accident mdium.
I tried the Mac Mah / Orpheus / RCF and frankly it is the most versatile that I could find.

For large benefits, I use D & B. It's hardly comparable to dpart but frankly would like Ing's who I bump: "there are times o The provider must really have too much money to buy 20 000 when diffs 4500 are enough "
How do you report qualitprix?
The ratio quality / price is right trs

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
J'hsite buy a 2nd! So without hsiter

I use (we use) the system has elias since about 4 years.
to be honest it is ... SUPER !!!!!!!
I use it in bulk to 200 people danced in the dining room or even once 300 people
Outdoor (and I was almost thoroughly) and another time for the bottom group of 300 people in concert hall.
Anyway let's talk about him very low and well this round of acute clear and precise, the medium was finally my Guiza and power (900 W ultra !!!!!) but 104dB.
The +: very low and round this extreme power for small chamber and a compact subwoofer and amplifier suplémentère which can serve as a satellite or return suplementère.
the -: that the meeting starts at acute well-saturated high-power flat but its so good

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
exellent € 2500 for a powerful system of quality jumbo

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
oh yes but there are more good as I replace it with the evolution of the elias elias px

so if you voiyé of occasion in your way !!!!! DARK
