For over 25 years, LINEAR speakers have represented the superior performance class within the HK Audio range. With their professional handling, precise resolution and high sound pressure reserves, they set the benchmark for what is possible in their class. The LINEAR 7 series is now taking a big step further: Powerful DSPs and advanced network intelligence not only provide more precise audio characteristics, but also a more efficient workflow and a whole host of additional power features.

The LINEAR 7 118 Sub A is an extremely powerful yet compact 18-inch subwoofer. Equipped with all the features of the network-compatible LINEAR 7 Series, it delivers phenomenal low-frequency performance in numerous applications.

LINEAR Series features:

THE LATEST IN AUDIO TECHNOLOGY
LINEAR 7 is intentionally based on the look and the proven robust mechanics of the LINEAR 5 series, with specific enhancements to the cabinet details. Both technically and acoustically, the LINEAR 7 speaker family represents a completely new development. The latest generation of high-performance speakers and drivers, specially designed horns, high-impulse Pascal Class-D power amplifiers, FIR filtering and the latest, exceptionally high-performance DSP platform with high-resolution converters all make the LINEAR 7 family an acoustically precise tool for demanding applications.

CARDIOID IN PRACTICE
While medium and high frequencies are naturally directional, low frequencies are spherical. This often leads to an unpleasant excess of low bass on and behind the stage. An even more serious issue is that it is becoming increasingly common for event organizers to set precise specifications for sound distribution. In the bass range, this can only be achieved with cardioid technology. The 18″ Linear 7 Subwoofer therefore meets all the requirements for quickly and easily implementing effective cardioid setups, both mechanically and with the available filter sets.

CONNECTIONS, CONTROLS AND REMOTE CONTROLLING

1. In addition to the analogue, balanced signal inputs and outputs, all LINEAR 7 models offer professional EtherCon connections. All devices in the system can be connected in series in a chain (daisy chain).

2. The full-range and multifunctional models can be preset depending on the type of use (standalone, as a monitor or in combination with a subwoofer). The subwoofer makes it easy to create Cardioid bass setups using the Cardio 1:1 and Cardio 2:1 presets.

3. The XLR signal output labelled “DSP Out” provides a network interface for integrating an additional active speaker that is not originally network-compatible. This can be independently controlled in its volume, filtering, limiting and delay. For example, LINEAR 7 mid/high units can be operated with LINEAR subwoofers, or LINEAR 5 LTS with the L7 118 Sub A subwoofer on the same network.

4. A PowerCon socket connects the speaker to the mains. The L7 118 Sub A subwoofer offers a second PowerCon socket for elegant power cabling in systems. The LINEAR 7 speakers’ state-of-the-art wide-range power supply units can be operated on all voltages between 90 and 260 volts and reliably stabilise the supply voltage, even when operating on power generators.
 
DSP CONTROL SOFTWARE
Extended remote controlling
Until recently, only the large touring system price category made it possible to control every mid/high unit, every bass and every stage monitor centrally from the FoH position. Now, with the LINEAR 7 range, this modern and highly efficient workflow can also be achieved in top-range professional point sound sources. Every single LINEAR 7 speaker on the network can be accessed centrally via Mac or PC, and its volume, EQ, limiting, delay and polarity can be controlled in detail.

DSP-Out
One extra-special feature that is only available with the LINEAR 7 range is that an additional, non-network-compatible active speaker (e.g. from the LINEAR series) can be integrated into the network via DSP-Out and then all parameters individually remote controlled. This ensures that existing infrastructure retains its value as well as its future viability.

A fully parametric 10-band EQ, high-pass filter, low-pass filter, delay, polarity and limiting are available independently for both the speakers and DSP-Out.
