HK Audio LINEAR 5 MKII 308 LTA - Returned Item (Condition: Very Good)

Proven, Made Better

The LINEAR 5 MK II series is a consistent evolution of the proven and popular LINEAR 5 series. It offers more power with up to 3 kg less weight, more compact dimensions and access to digital optimization via the DSP CONTROL software, raising daily work to a new level.

The compact, horn-loaded LINEAR 5 MK II 308 LTA long-throw mid/high unit delivers enormous coverage depth and, thanks to the DSP with FIR filter and DSP out, high flexibility and compatibility.

DSP - Powerful and Smart

High-performance, integrated DSPs allow the user extremely precise tuning of the system components. They provide more usable sound pressure before distortion occurs and significantly reduce the risk of feedback.

Users can access four suitable presets directly on the speaker boxes, and via an Ethernet connection and the DSP CONTROL software can set up larger systems on a Mac or PC and make adjustments even during an event.

The DSP out also allows the integration of a non-networked speaker and the signal routed there to be processed independently of the DSP settings on the speaker using the DSP CONTROL software.

HK Audio DSP CONTROL - Everything Under Control Anytime, Anywhere

Full control over the entire sound system setup, even during soundcheck and the show? This is already known from large touring systems or the LINEAR 7 and LINEAR 9 series.

HK Audio DSP CONTROL enables 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 level, EQing, limiting, delay and polarity, are thus accessible from FOH at any time.

DSP CONTROL also offers the option to access grouped functions like equalizer, limiter, level and mute via Sub and Main Groups. This greatly simplifies the management of large speaker setups or multiple event spaces.

With Virtual Units it is possible to create a setup in advance of an event even without connected speakers. On site, the Virtual Units can then be conveniently replaced by the networked speakers of the LINEAR 5 MK II series with a click.

Cardioid - Problem Solver for Pros in Every Situation

Sharp sound protection requirements, uncontrolled bass propagation on and behind the stage and high feedback risk in the low-frequency range are addressed by professional sound engineers using cardioid technology for the subwoofers. This technical trick is now simple and possible without measurement equipment: set up - choose preset - done!

The bass sound pressure of the physically omnidirectional subwoofers is reduced behind the subs by up to 34 dB by the cardioid setup. Forward radiation experiences a slight increase in sound pressure of about 2 dB. The result is a directed, cardioid-shaped dispersion.

Robust Enclosures - Optimized For All Applications

The acoustic properties and stability of wood cannot be matched by any other material in loudspeaker construction. That is why almost all LINEAR 5 MK II components are housed in MDF and birch multiplex enclosures.

The LINEAR 5 MK II 118 Sub A, 118 Sub HPA and 308 LTA are completely made from birch multiplex. Despite the robust material, the LINEAR 5 MK II is extremely compact and comparatively lightweight. MultiGrip handles provide easy handling and, together with the optional tilt brackets, secure hold in flight operations for the mid/high units.

For use as compact, powerful and feedback-reduced stage monitors, the enclosures of the LINEAR 5 XA mid/high units have a 31° monitor angle and provide a secure and stable stand even when laid on their side. The rotatable horns allow the dispersion angles to be optimally adapted to the desired setup.

The enclosures of the LINEAR 5 FA fullrange mid/high units provide more punch and volume in the bass range.

Smaller, Lighter, Louder

The LINEAR 5 MK II is smaller, lighter and louder than the LINEAR 5 series. With up to 3 kg less weight at the same output, the LINEAR 5 MK II 112 XA is the loudest and lightest mid/high unit in its speaker class.

The LINEAR 5 MK II 308 LTA and the HK Audio 118 Sub HPA deliver long throw and powerful bass in compact dimensions when used together.
