LINEAR 9 is not just a product for professional sound reinforcement – it is a comprehensive solution that sets new standards when it comes to maximum sound pressure level, throw and scalability. There’s also an easy-to-use remote software application, which can be used to control not only the DSP but also the unique DSP Out. This flexible solution with smart features is suitable for the demanding everyday conditions of touring life thanks to the resistant construction and coating of the cabinets.
LINEAR 9 is the new flagship model in the extensive HK Audio LINEAR family. This new class of speaker was developed with the needs and demands of rental companies and event companies in mind, all of whom require a reliable, versatile, future-proof, economical and, at the same time, acoustically and mechanically superior sound tool suitable for many years of daily use.
These requirements are fulfilled in every detail of the LINEAR 9 models: speaker components selected without compromise, precise sound guides specially developed for the series, PU-coated birch multiplex cabinets, generously dimensioned Class D power amplifiers of the latest generation, professional PowerCon power connections and, last but not least, their development and manufacture in our factory in St. Wendel (Germany) make the LINEAR 9 speakers exceptionally powerful and valuable alternatives in their class.
LINEAR 9 is a great choice for both its mid/high units and its subwoofers, with outstanding low-frequency sound pressure levels. The sound quality that HK Audio is famous for is even impressively maintained right up to the back row of the audience.
Both the LINEAR 9 210 LTA, which can be scaled for any conceivable application thanks to the possibility of horizontal clustering, and the two flexible subwoofers, which can reproduce countless subwoofer setups, demonstrate the system’s technical as well as economic scalability.
The robust birch multiplex enclosures with resistant PU coating protect the individual speakers not only from wind and the elements but also during transport from the storage to the venue and back again. Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing in Germany and carefully selected materials, each and every LINEAR 9 speaker will last far longer than its initial investment would suggest.
The LINEAR 9 family has a high-performance integrated DSP with additional DSP Out. The DSP not only allows users to access the right presets directly on the speakers, but also to set up larger systems on a Mac or PC using an Ethernet connection and even make adjustments mid-event. The DSP Out also makes it possible to integrate a non-networked speaker and process its signal with the DSP CONTROL software.
All LINEAR 9 speakers have professional connections for safe and smooth operation in the demanding day-to-day rental business. For example, both the mid/high units and the subwoofers have lockable PowerCon and EtherCon connections. All the speaker chassis and drivers used have been specially developed for HK Audio and come from premier suppliers.
Thanks to their cabinet shape with integrated 30° slant, the multifunctional speakers are also suitable for use as transverse stage monitors. Both models offer a preset optimised for use as a monitor, which compensates for the overemphasis of the low frequencies caused by ground coupling. The practical functionality is rounded off by the standard rigging points. The combination of a multifunctional cabinet and practical features allows the XA models to be used not only as stage monitors, but also as the ideal front, side or near-fill addition to a larger setup consisting of the LINEAR 9 210 LTA.
Remote Control – The next level
All LINEAR 9 series speakers can be conveniently remote controlled from the FoH position using the free HK Audio DSP CONTROL software. Available free of charge for Mac and PC, the software includes the following features for speaker customisation:
In addition to the existing features, the latest version of HK Audio DSP CONTROL offers the possibility to create groups, providing additional functions such as group EQ, group mute and group volume. What’s more, Virtual Units can be used to plan projects in advance without an attached system and to assign them to the actual speakers later.
