HK Audio - Linear 5 Series
Linear 5 – Superior Performance & Loudness
With Linear 5, HK Audio has unveiled a line of high-performance PA cabinets that is sure to delight ambitious musicians and DJs as well as discerning hire companies. No other system competing in the class of 1“ drivers can match its SPL. The high-quality wood housings are anything but standard. Made of tough multilayer birch plywood and a birch/ MDF hybrid, these rugged enclosures not only stand up to the rigors of the road, they also have excellent performance-enhancing acoustical properties. Top-drawer features like this usually come at a steep price, but the Linear 5 line is surprisingly affordable.
Linear 5 is exceptionally versatile: It takes just two L5 212 FA units to set up a full-fledged fullrange system. Two stackable Linear 5 subwoofers may be added for applications requiring more bass. What’s more, these tops can also serve as delay line monitors (the XA model) and as speakers in distributed sound reinforcement systems. Engineered by a crack R&D team that has been designing pro audio equipment for more than 25 years, Linear 5 is made in Germany. Users expect nothing less than flawless finishing, faithful reproduction, and excellent specs from HK Audio. Linear 5 delivers all this and more: Our customers also enjoy exemplary service provided by dealers in 55 countries around the world.
L5 115 FA
Able to serve up 1,000 watts as a standalone cabinet, the ultra efficient 15"/1" fullrange top is, like its smaller sibling, the loudest reference speaker in its class. And like the L5 FA 112, it is equipped with an asymmetrical horn. Its throw pattern is optimized for to provide the best coverage. The pattern is wider up front and grows more directed with distance, thereby achieving greater range. Note: Perfect for everyone who loves big, bold bass!
