Audio professionals looking for an active full-range speaker with modern DSP technology should check out the HK Audio LINEAR 7 110 XA, a powered speaker that is suitable for a wide range of applications, offering top performance and easy handling.

The speaker utilizes a 2000W Class-D bi-amplifier to drive the 10" woofer and 1" high-frequency driver, which combine to offer a full-range frequency response (70 Hz to 19 kHz) with plenty of volume to cover an audience (129 dB SPL). Notable features include mixed IIR/FIR filtering to ensure a very linear frequency response and low system latency. The 80° x 60° CD horn is rotatable and can be used as a powerful floor monitor. The enclosure of the LINEAR 7 110 XA is designed with angled sides for acoustically correct clustering. A DuoTilt 3°/7° pole-mount flange adds flexibility when deploying, while the two SingleGrip handles allow for easy transporting and setup/breakdown. A powerCON power cord is included.

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.

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 high-performance DSP platform with high-resolution converters, all make the LINEAR 7 family an acoustically precise tool for demanding applications.

• In addition to the analog 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).
• 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 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.
• A powerCON socket connects the speaker to the mains. 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 stabilize the supply voltage, even when operating on power generators.

DSP control software

• Extended remote control: 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 can be individually remote controlled. This ensures that existing infrastructure retains its value as well as its future viability.
• 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.

The DuoTilt stand mount helps to align the speaker towards the audience reliably, so that it provides the best sound. The preset 3° and 7° tilt of the stand mount means you can choose the right alignment regardless of the setup.
