General Notes on Safety for Loudspeaker Systems

Mounting systems may only be used for those loudspeaker systems authorized by the manufacturer and only with the mounting accessories specified by the manufacturer in the installation instructions. Read and heed the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The indicated load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event of improper installation or the use of unauthorized mounting accessories. The system’s load-bearing capacity cannot be guaranteed and the manufacturer will not be liable for damages in the event that loudspeakers, mounting accessories, and connecting and attaching components are modified in any way.
Components affecting safety may only be repaired by the manufacturer or authorized agents, otherwise the operating permit will be voided.
Version 1.0 12/2022

Installation may be performed qualified personnel only, and then only at pick- points with sufficient load-carrying capacity and
in compliance with local building regulations. Use only the mounting hardware specified by the manufacturer in the installation instructions (screws, anchors, etc.). Take all the precautions necessary to ensure bolted connections and other threaded locking devices will not loosen.

Fixed and portable installations (in this case, speakers and mounting accessories) must be secured by two independent safeties to prevent them from falling. Safeties must be able to catch accessories or parts that are loose or may become loose. Ensure compliance with the given national regulations when using connecting, attaching,
and rigging devices. Factor potential dynamic forces (jerk) into the equation when determining the proper size and load-bearing capacity of safeties.
Be sure to observe speaker stands’ maximum load-bearing capacity. Note that for reasons of design and construction, most speaker stands are approved to bear centric loads only; that is, the speakers’ mass has to be precisely centered and balanced. Ensure speaker stands are set up stably and securely. Take appropriate added measures to secure speaker stands, for example when:

  • The floor or ground surface does not provide a stable, secure base.
  • They are extended to heights that impede stability.
  • High wind pressure may be expected.
  • There is the risk that they may be knocked over by people.

Special measures may become necessary as precautions against unsafe audience behavior. Do not set up speaker stands in evacuation routes and emergency exits. Ensure corridors are wide enough and put proper barriers and markings in place when setting speaker stands up in passageways. Mounting and dismounting are especially hazardous tasks. Use aids suitable for this purpose. Observe the given national regulations when doing so.

Wear proper protection (in particular, a helmet, gloves, and safety shoes) and use only suitable means of ascent (ladders, scaffolds, etc.) during installation. Compliance with this requirement is the sole responsibility of the company performing the installation.

WARNING! After installation, inspect the system comprised of the mounting fixtures and loudspeakers to ensure it is properly secured.
The operator of loudspeaker systems (fixed or portable) must regularly inspect or task a third party to regularly inspect all system components in accordance with the given country’s regulations and have possible defects repaired immediately.
We also strongly recommend maintaining a logbook or the like to document all inspections.
Also be sure to provide sufficient safety margins for the rigging points used for flown systems. Observe the given national regulations when doing so.

Professional loudspeaker systems can produce harmful volume levels. Even prolonged exposure to seemingly harmless levels (starting at about 95 dBA SPL) can cause permanent hearing damage! Therefore we recommend that everyone who is exposed to high volume levels produced by loudspeaker systems wears professional hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs).

General Information

Items delivered
When you first unpack your LINEAR 5 MK II speaker cabinet, please check that it comes complete with the Quick Start Guide and a mains cable.

Connections and controls

  1. Input
    XLR/jack combo socket, balanced input for analogue signals.

    • The LINEAR 5 MK II XA/FA models have one input channel.
    • The LINEAR 5 MK II 115 Sub A and LINEAR 5 MK II 118 Sub A subwoofers have two separate inputs for the left and right signals. The two channels are equal and summed post-preamp, so you can use either one in mono mode.
  2. Thru
    Use this parallel, balanced XLR output to send the signal routed into the Input through to other components. This output remains active even when the electronic components are deactivated. The subwoofer has two of these ports.

  3. Gain
    Use this knob to adjust the input gain for the incoming signal.

    • The control range for the XA/FA models goes from –∞ (mute) to +6 dB.
    • This knob adjusts the gain for both of the subwoofer’s stereo preamp channels in a range of -6 to +6 dB.
      The centre-notched 12 o’clock position is 0 dB in both cases.
      Note: The Gain setting does not affect the signal sent to the DSP Out.
  4. Input/Limiter LED
    This LED lights up green to indicate incoming signals. When it is red, either the limiter is active or the input is clipping. The LED briefly flashes red to tell you the Limiter is responding to signal peaks. If it stays red, turn down the Gain knob.

  5. DSP Out
    Use this XLR port to forward the analogue signal routed into the Input jack or to forward a digital audio signal fed in via a network. The onboard DSP can process both types of signals.
    This means the DSP Out can serve as a network interface that lets you integrate an added powered speaker that is not originally network-compatible.
    In the factory default configuration, the unprocessed input signal goes straight to DSP Out, regardless of the selected preset and the Gain knob setting.

  6. Ethernet In /Thru
    Use the etherCON port to integrate the speaker into a network. It accepts RJ45 and etherCON (NE8 MX, NE8 MX6, NE8 MC) plugs. The mid/high units each have an Ethernet In, and the subwoofers also have an Ethernet Thru.
    Use the Ethernet Thru port to forward the network signal.
    Always use S/STP or S/FTP cables to shield against electromagnetic interference.
    We recommend CAT6 cables. A separate manual explains the finer points of network integration and remote control functions. You will find it on the LINEAR 5 MK II download page at www.hkaudio.com. For a brief description of the DSP functions, see section 8 Preset.

  7. Data
    This LED lights up orange when data is being transferred via the network socket.

  8. Preset
    Use the Preset selection button to call up factory presets or a user preset you can configure via the remote DSP CONTROL software. Tap the select button once to scroll through Presets 1 through 4.
    A separate manual explains how to program the four remote user presets.
    You will find it on the LINEAR 5 MK II download page at www.hkaudio.com.

Cardioid 1:1 horizontal| For cardioid setups with two side-by-side subwoofers with one forward-facing LINEAR 5 MKII subwoofer (see section 4.2 for more on this)

Factory presets 1 to 3 address the speaker only and not the DSP Out.
Note: If you are operating the speaker in a network connected to
the remote DSP CONTROL software, you can configure the DSP Out independently even when using factory presets 1 to 3. To learn more about this, consult the separate DSP CONTROL manual. You will find it on the LINEAR 5 MK II download page at www.hkaudio.com.

The Remote Preset

  • Remote
    This lets you call up a user preset that you previously stored via DSP CONTROL for the speaker as well as for the DSP Out. The speaker does not need to be connected to the remote software to do this.

The remote preset’s default setup is identical to factory preset 1 (Flat/Front).
You can access the following DSP functions via the remote DSP CONTROL software and save your settings in user presets:
Fully parametric 10-band EQ with variable filter characteristics for each fre- quency band, high-pass and low-pass filters with variable filter characteris- tics, Limiter, Delay, Polarity, Level, and Mute.

You can configure these parameters separately and independently for the speaker and its DSP Out.

Screenshot of the remote DSP CONTROL software. You can download this software free of charge from the LINEAR 5 download page at www.hkaudio.com. The speaker and DSP Out parameters are identical, but the double DSP power lets you configure each set independently.

Power
This rocker switch turns the power on and off. Set it to Power to turn the electronic components on and to Off to disconnect them from the mains power supply.

Power LED
As soon as the electronic components are supplied with voltage, this LED lights up green.

Mains Input
The mains connection is designed as a lockable IEC 14 socket. In combination with the supplied lockable connection cable, the mains cable is locked and secured against accidental slipping out.

Auto Sleep
Use this recessed button to switch energy-saving Auto Sleep mode on and off. Your speaker leaves the factory with the Auto Sleep button pressed to enable this mode. This function puts the electronic components into Auto Sleep mode when four and a half hours pass without the speaker registering an audio signal, data sent to the network ports, or operation of a button or knob on the electronics. The only way to wake it up is by switching the Power button off and on again or patching an analogue audio signal into the Input.

Heads Up: You cannot wake up the speaker via the network ports.
The only way to disable the Auto Sleep function is to press the recessed switch (not pressed).

Overview of the various models 110 XA, 112 XA, 112 FA, 115 XA, 115 FA, 115 Sub A, 118 Sub A The LINEAR 5 series consists of five mid/high units speakers and two subwoofers:
LINEAR 5 MK II 110 XA, LINEAR 5 MK II 112 XA, LINEAR 5 MK II 112 FA, LINEAR 5 MK II 115 XA, LINEAR 5 MK II 115 FA, LINEAR 5 MK II 115 Sub A and LINEAR 5 MK II 118 Sub A. The housings of the multifunctional LINEAR 5 MK II 110 XA, LINEAR 5 MK II 112 XA and LINEAR 5 MK II 115 XA models are angled 31° so you can also set them sideways for stage monitors. The larger hous-ings of the LINEAR 5 MK II 112 FA and LINEAR 5 MK II 115 FA fullrange models deliver more low-frequency sound pressure. The LINEAR 5 MK II 110 XA and 112 XA speakers are equipped with an 80° x 60° wide dispersion horn for homogeneous near-field dispersion. The LINEAR 5 MK II 115 XA has a horn with a medium 70°x50° throw pattern. The LINEAR 5 MK II 112 FA and 115 FA come with a horn with a narrower 60°x40° long-throw pattern.

You need tools to rotate the horns, so they are not conducive to frequent adjustment. The idea is to optimize the throw pattern for the cabinet’s primary application.

Good to know: You do not have to rotate the horn when setting the cab on its side for use as a stage monitor. In fact, the upright speaker’s nar-rower vertical throw pattern works great in the horizontal position. This minimises overlap with adjacent monitors and reduces the feedback risk because you can focus the speaker more accurately.

Setting Up Speakers

The XA/FA Models

LINEAR 5 MK II mid/high units may be stacked on subwoofers, mounted on speaker stands or poles, installed with wall brackets, or flown with the proper rigging hardware.

Setting Up with the DuoTilt 3/7

All mid/high units feature the HK Audio DuoTilt 3/7, a special mount for 35 mm speaker stands and poles offering two angles, -3° and -7°, to provide better coverage. The DuoTilt 3/7 is sited closer to the baffle to maintain the optimum centre of gravity when the speaker is on a stand.

General Information about Setting Up with Speaker Stands

Note! Always make sure the speaker stand is on solid footing and be sure to observe the manufacturer’s instructions as to its maximum load-bearing capacity.

Take care!

  • Use only speaker stands that are stable enough to prevent accidental tip-ping. Ensure the speaker stand is designed to handle the cabinet’s weight. The highest setting on adjustable stands must be limited to prevent the combination of speaker stand and speaker from tipping. This applies when setting up the stand on a flat, horizontal surface.
  • When setting up on an uneven or sloping surface, make sure the speaker stand’s base is secured to prevent accidental tipping, either by attaching suitable weights to the base or taking other measures to secure the stand.
  • The use of any other fixtures or fittings can result in instability that may cause injury.

Rigging:

The XA and FA models can be flown by installing the AP-8 attachment and steel cables or chains to their rigging points. The 112 FA, 115 FA and 115 XA models additionally provide for rigging operation in combination with the installation of the HK Audio TB-45N and TB-45NQ tilt brackets (Q-model removable with quick-release pins).

LINEAR 5 MK II 115 Sub A and 118 Sub A

Deploy the LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofer as you would any other direct radiating subwoofer. It can be used either stacked or side by side in Cardioid mode, maintaining a distance of at least one metre from walls.
You have two Cardioid setups to choose from: Cardioid 1:1 vertical and

Cardioid 1:1 horizontal. The diagrams below show the front view from the audience’s perspective.

Select the proper preset for the given setup on the rear panel of the LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofer. See section 2, ●8 Preset for more on this. Both setups attenuate the rearward sound pressure level by up to 34 dB, and boost the forward SPL around 2 dB. When does a Cardioid setup make sense?
While medium and high frequencies can be radiated in directional patterns, low frequencies are spherical. This often leads to an unpleasant excess of low bass on and behind the stage. Organisers are also increasingly setting precise demands for sound distribution, for example in marquees in city centres. The most effective way to achieve this in the bass range is with Cardioid technology (cancelling out the frequencies radiated to the rear). Both LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofers therefore meet all the requirements for quickly and easily implementing effective Cardioid setups, both mechanical-ly and with the available filter sets.

Example systems

Setting Up a 2.1 Stereo System

Thanks to the LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofer’s onboard stereo preamps, you can easily set up a 2.1 system, routing both the left and right channels into a LIN-EAR 5 MK II subwoofer and then forwarding their signals to the mid/high units via its Thru ports. The LINEAR 5 MK II 110 XA’s wide throw patterns are perfect for this application.

Presets:

Mid-high units Low Cut
LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofer Front

For to ensure the most balanced image possible, centre the subwoofer between the two mid/high units.

Setting up Speakers on Poles

If you wish to place mid/high units on speaker poles rather than stands, simply screw a pole with an M20 thread into the M20 pole mount on the LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofer.

Presets:

Mid-high units Low Cut
LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofer Front
Stacking Speakers
