Elements Gala - the system with a difference

Take your sound to a whole new level. This intelligent system puts cutting-edge technology at your fingertips. The system's foundation? The Elements Gala SUB 15…

Boasting a 15'' woofer combined with newly-developed circuitry, including new and more authoritative class-D power amps, the Gala SUB 15 is the powerhouse of the entire Gala system. A newly-developed controller lies at the heart of the subwoofer, delivering impressive sound with outstanding clarity, definition, and impact.

Working in conjunction with E 835 mid/high units, the system offers luscious audio reproduction with incredibly uniform coverage. Perfect even for larger venues, the Elements Gala PA system is adaptable and powerful. It can be expanded with ease using an L SUB 1500 A, giving you even more power and potential to play with. What's more, the Elements Gala SUB 15 can be used with the other components from the Elements series to step them up to Gala performance levels.

Simple controls, intricate results

Great sound doesn't have to be difficult. The Elementa Gala SUB 15 features a user-friendly rear panel, providing you with two XLR-1/4'' combo inputs, two 3-pin XLR thru-puts, and independent left and right SpeakON outputs. With regards to controls, you'll find high quality potentiometers for the Master gain level and Bass Gain, whilst an EQ selector switch lets you optimise your system for small venues or long distances.

The Small Venue option voices your connected mid/high columns for smaller rooms, delivering a balanced and transparent signal, even at very short ranges. The Long Distance option optimises the columns for much larger rooms. It maximises the reach of your columns to retain exceptional clarity, detail and sound quality all the way to the back of the room. No matter what venue you're in, the Gala SUB 15 ensures that your Elements system gives you the sound you deserve every single time.

Outstanding portability

Transporting your PA system has never been easier. With advanced and efficient technologies, each Elements component boasts an ultra-lightweight design. Ergonomic handling and compact dimensions let you fit your system in your car with ease. This also makes it a breeze to get your PA setup. Getting the perfect positioning is easy, and adjustments take mere seconds. These powerful systems utilise HK Audio's innovative E-Connect coupler/bus system - so no more messy cables floating around the back of your speakers. The entire system can be built in no time at all whilst maintaining an incredibly compact footprint. Plus, thanks to the exceptional resistance to feedback, your Elements Gala system can be placed wherever you like. In front, behind, or alongside the band, Elements guarantees incredible performance every single time. With this much convenience and power, there's no wonder that Elements systems have become so popular all over the world.

Innovative E-Connect signal bus

With HK Audio's E-Connect system, a unique new type of integrated coupler/bus, you can configure your Elements Gala rig much more easily and quickly than conventional systems. Just a few minutes are all it takes to set up an Elements system. Simply snap the components together, automatically linking them via E-Connect, plug in your signal source, and let the show begin.
