LINEAR 7

NETWORKED AUDIO PRECISION >

LINEAR cabinets have been the HK Audio range’s go-to

solution for upscale performance for over 25 years now.

Professional handling, richly detailed definition, ample

headroom and high sound pressure levels – they set the

performance bar for their respective class. And the all-new

LINEAR 7 series takes it up another notch. Powerful DSPs

and advanced smart connectivity not only deliver even

sharper audio images. They also make gigging life a lot easier

with a far more ecient workflow and a host of features

that include enhanced power supply.

The latest in audio technology

Although the LINEAR 7 line’s visuals and hardware
appointments lean heavily on the sleek look and rugged
features of the LINEAR 5 series, these enclosures come with a
complement of elegantly refined details. HK Audio engineers
reinvented the cutting-edge technology inside LINEAR 5 and
revamped the cabinets’ acoustics from the bottom up.
Latest-generation high-performance loudspeakers and drivers,
custom-designed horns, muscular Pascal Class-D amplifiers,
FIR filtering, a state-of-the-art DSP platform with awesome
computing power and high-definition converters – with a
feature set as rich as this, the LINEAR 7 family is the precision
audio tool of choice for demanding applications.

FAMILY OVERVIEW

Equipped with high-performance power amplifiers,
ecient loudspeakers, state-of-the-art DSP
technology and FIR filtering, LINEAR 7 series mid/
high units deliver high-definition audio with
extremely low total harmonic distortion. Even at high
sound pressure levels, they treat audiences to a
beautifully balanced audio experience with no
listening fatigue. All XA and FA models come with
rotatable horns.

The directivity of each cabinet’s horn is optimized for
its primary purpose – that is, the most frequently
used application. The L7 110 XA cab sports a 10"
woofer and a horn with a wide 80° x 60° throw
pattern to provide uniform near-field coverage.
L7 112 XA/FA cabs feature a 12" woofer and a horn
with a medium 70° x 50° throw pattern. The L7 115 FA
cab comes with 15" woofer and a horn with a narrow
60° x 40° long-throw pattern.

Horizontally asymmetrical coverage Rigging and Clustering

All XA and FA models can be flown by installing the
AP-8 attachment and steel cables or chains to their
rigging points, or by mounting the appropriate truss
brackets. The FA models have heavy-duty 4x5 mm
threaded inserts in the side-mounted shell grips.
They serve to attach the TB-45N or TB-45NQ.
The added Q designator means that this model
features quick-release pins for easy dismounting.

The XA models’ wedge monitor-like angled panels do
not accommodate a shell grip, so they come with
reinforced 2x8 mm threaded mounting points that let
you bolt on the TB-28N truss bracket.
Mounting instructions are enclosed with the truss
brackets.

L7 XA models

The housings of the multifunctional L7 110 XA and
L7 112 XA models are angled at 30° so you can also set
them sideways for use as monitors. Both models oer
a preset with a filter optimized for monitoring
applications. It attenuates the extra bass generated by
floor coupling when you set a speaker on its side
for use as a monitor.

L7 FA models

The larger housings of the L7 112 FA and L7 115 FA
fullrange models deliver more low-frequency sound
pressure, so they are suitable for use as standalone
speakers without an added L7 118 Sub A. Optimized
for the given speaker, the Bass Boost preset enhances
low-frequency response when the situation calls for a
more powerful low end.

L7 118 Sub A

The L7 118 Sub A punches well above its weight in
the power stakes. Featuring a direct-radiating bass
reflex design, it is remarkably compact and, weighing
in at 42 kilograms, extremely easy to transport. With
its powerful punch, precise response and impressive
low-end performance, this active subwoofer is the
perfect companion to the mid/high units. It has all
the hardware appointments and filter sets you need
to configure eective cardioid setups, quickly and
easily. Sporting an onboard stereo preamp, it is also
perfect for setting up 2.1 systems.
