[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 34681, member: 441"] Re: HK Elements Simon. The Elements system is made so that the bottom of the "stick" is an amplifier module that looks just like a loudspeaker. On top there is a proprietary connector that also acts as a "base" for the actual loudspeakers. The connector looks just like a 1 inch diameter version of your laptop's PSU plug. IIRC three loudspeakers can be stacked on top of the amplifier unit to increase the lenght of the "stick" using the same type of connections (hole on top, rod on the bottom). The amplifier module can either sit on a sub or on a stand. Anyway, my point: The speakers are not labelled or numbered in any way and are all passive, so which one goes where will be different from gig to gig. Also, there is jusy one "fullrange" connection going to all the speakers. Hence, I doubt there is any frequency shading going on. There is a switch on the amp module that has positions for 1, 2 or 3 loudspeakers, but I think it just equalizes the low end to compensate for coupling between the speakers in this frequency range.
