The LINEAR 5 MK II series not only gives professional performers and rental companies a reliable high-performance everyday tool – this state-of-the-art series, which has been redesigned from the ground up, features remote-controlled DSPs, more power and cardioid-capable subwoofers. With the sturdy wooden enclosures, large selection of standard elements and extensive range of accessories, LINEAR 5 MK II is a powerful and innovative drive for all those who want to impress their audiences day after day. First-class sound and high performance made in Germany.

DSP – Powerful and smart
The integrated high-performance DSPs allow tuning of the system with high precision. They provide increased usable sound pressure before distortion sets in and reduce the risk of feedback significantly.

Not only can the four matching presets be accessed directly at the loudspeaker cabinet, but also via Ethernet connection and the DSP CONTROL software for larger system set-ups on a Mac or PC and ad-hoc adjustements.

DSP OUT – more control and network capability

DSP Out offers complete control of non-network compatible active loudspeakers. In the DSP CONTROL Software, the signal at the input can be processed in all parameters completely indepedently of the speaker settings and directed to another speaker. The settings for the internal speaker as well as for the DSP Out can be stored as a common preset and easily recalled. The DSP Out gives full control over non-network-compatible speakers.
 
DSP Control – Everything under control at all times and everywhere
Having full control over the entire sound setup, even during the sound check and the show is something that some are already familiar with from large touring systems or the LINEAR 7 and LINEAR 9 series.

HK Audio DSP CONTROL allows remote control of all LINEAR 5 MK II components, from stage monitors to complete PA systems, via network and HK Audio’s proprietary DSP CONTROL software for Mac and PC. The features of the powerful DSPs, such as volume, EQ, limiting, delay and polarity, can thus be accessed directly from the FoH position at any time.

Components that do not have their own DSP technology can be connected to the DSP OUT on the LINEAR 5 MK II speakers and controlled remotely with the same ease. All of the speaker’s DSP functions are available to each DSP OUT, irrespective of and in addition to the DSP setup of the LINEAR 5 MK II speaker.

DSP CONTROL also offers the possibility to access functions such as equalizer, limiter, volume and mute bundled by Sub and Main Groups. This greatly simplifies the management of large speaker setups or multiple venues.

Virtual Units make it possible to create a setup in advance of an event even without connected loudspeakers. On site, the Virtual Units can then be conveniently replaced by the network-compatible loudspeakers of the LINEAR 5 MK II series at the click of a mouse.

NEW: DSP OUT Factory Presets- combine all LINEAR Series speakers perfectly with each other
You want to combine LINEAR 5 or LINEAR Sub Series with the new LINEAR 5 MK II, LINEAR 7 or LINEAR 9 speakers? The new Factory Presets for the DSP Out makes it very comfortable. Download the preset library, select the desired preset in the DSP CONTROL Software – done! All presets have been optimally adapted to the respective speaker combinations by the engineers at HK AUDIO. This guarantees the highest sound quality and operational reliability.

This means that with the help of the  DSP CONTROL software, speakers from the original LINEAR 5 series can continue to be used and controlled.

The DSP Out factory presets are available in the download area.
 
HK Audio Multicell Transformer (MCT)
High coverage and more usable sound pressure
Developed by HK Audio, the LINEAR 5 MK II 308 LTA’s Multicell Transformer (MCT) is made up of many small horns of different sizes and lengths. Interfering horn resonances are pushed above the transmission range, which minimises THD and reduces distortion.

As a result, there is significantly more usable sound pressure available. At the same time, the MCT technology enables analogue beam steering and thus an asymmetrical horn dispersion pattern.

This, combined with the very precise dispersion, makes headstack and cluster arrangements very easy to achieve. This allows the MCT to reach long ranges even with compact dimensions. Balanced and powerful sound can reach up to 40 metres and up to 3000 people without having to use delay lines.
 
 
 
Cardioid – Problem solver for professionals in any situation
Professional sound technicians respond to stringent sound insulation requirements, uncontrolled bass dispersion on and behind the stage and a high feedback risk in the lower frequency range with Cardioid technology for the subwoofers. This technical trick is now easily achieved without measurement technology: simply set up, select a preset, and you’re done!

The Cardioid setup attenuates the bass sound pressure of the physically spherically radiating subwoofers behind the subwoofers by up to 34 dB. There is a slight increase in sound pressure of approx. 2 dB in the front sound dispersion. This results in a directional, cardioid radiation pattern.

Cardioid sound reinforcement technology can be used with the LINEAR 5 MK II 115 Sub A and 118 Sub A with vertically stacked subwoofers and also with horizontal setups. This is a huge advantage on low stages. For larger vertical cardioid stacks with up to three subwoofers, the powerful LINEAR 5 MK II 118 Sub HPA offers 1:1 and 2:1 cardioid presets.
 
Robust housings
Optimized for all application scenarios
The acoustic properties and stability of wood cannot be achieved with any other material in loudspeaker construction. That is why nearly all LINEAR 5 MK II components are built into wooden cabinets made of MDF and birch multiplex. The LINEAR 5 MK II 118 Sub A and the LINEAR 5 MK II 118 Sub HPA are completely made of birch multiplex. Despite the robust material, LINEAR 5 MK II is extremely compact and comparatively light.  MultiGrip handles ensure easy handling and, together with the optional tilt brackets, provide a secure hold in flight for the mid/high units.

For use as compact, powerful and low-feedback stage monitors, the housings of the LINEAR 5 MK II XA mid/high units are equipped with a 31° monitor slope and offer a safe and firm stand even when lying crosswise. The rotatable horns allow the dispersion angles to be optimally adjusted to the desired setup. The enclosures of the LINEAR 5 MK II FA full-range mid/high units provide more pressure and volume in the bass range.
 
 
 
Smaller, lighter, louder
LINEAR 5 MK II is smaller, lighter and louder than the LINEAR 5 series. With up to 3 kg less weight at the same sound pressure level, the LINEAR 5 MK II 112 XA is the loudest and lightest mid/high unit in its speaker class. LINEAR 5 MK II 308 LTA and HK Audio 118 Sub HPA work together to deliver long throws and powerful bass in compact dimensions.
