With the usual passion for perfect sound and high-quality workmanship, HK Audio has completely revised the successful LINEAR 5 series and brought it up to the latest state of the art. The new speakers and subwoofers score with innovative features such as remote-controllable DSP functionality and cardioid settings for the series' own subwoofers. Professional bands and sound reinforcement engineers now not only have a reliable and high-performance everyday tool at their fingertips, but the added power at a lighter weight and access to digital optimization elevate their daily work to a new
With a wide range of flexible mid/high units, powerful cardioid-capable subwoofers, generously dimensioned Class D power amplifiers of the latest
The new hybrid housings made of birch plywood and MDF are lighter, simplify and optimize handling. A major advantage in times when truck space and sustainability are important factors. Smaller dimensions combined with higher performance guarantee more flexibility even with constantly changing requirements.
The LINEAR 5 MKII 115 FA is the most powerful full-range mid/high unit in the series. It combines powerful bass reproduction with transparent and assertive sound. Its longhorn enables high sound throw and facilitates clustering. A remotely controllable DSP with 4 directly selectable presets ensures maximum usable sound pressure without distortion. The DSP-Out allows the input signal, processed separately, to be routed to an additional, non-networked loudspeaker. The robust birch multiplex hybrid cabinet and the versatile accessories make the LINEAR 5 MK II 115 FA a strong partner for bands, DJs and sound reinforcement. As a powerful full-range solution or in conjunction with the matching subwoofers.
Full control over the entire sound reinforcement setup, even during sound check and show, is already familiar from large touring systems or the LINEAR 7, LINEAR 9 and ELEMENTS series. HK Audio DSP CONTROL allows remote control of all LINEAR 5 MK II components, from the stage monitor to the complete PA via network and the in-house HK Audio DSP CONTROL software for Mac and PC. The functions of the powerful DSPs, such as volume, EQing, limiting,
Components that do not have their own DSP technology can also be connected to the DSP
The acoustic properties and stability of wood cannot be matched by any other material in loudspeaker construction. For these reasons, all LINEAR 5 MK II components are built into wooden cabinets. Due to the combination of MDF and birch multiplex, the mid/high units and subwoofers are extremely compact and comparatively light despite the robust material. Every single loudspeaker is manufactured in Germany in a combination of high-precision, computer-controlled
manufacturing and adept manual work, using pollutant-free wood, water-based lacquer and a strict recycling and waste avoidance strategy.
