New HK speakers available

HK Audio has introduced a brand new series of high-performance active speakers – Linear 3 – and has added two new active models to the Linear SUBfamily of subwoofers.

Linear 3 can be used by bands and DJs in a range of scenarios. The first members of the Linear 3 family are the 12”/1” L3 112 FA, the 15”/1” L3 115 FA and the multipurpose 12”/1” L3 112 XA – which functions both as a top and as an onstage monitor.

Four EQ presets – Bass Boost, Flat (LF), Flat (HMF) and Contour, two of which are active at any one time – provide plenty of options for shaping the sound to fit the music style, venue and audience.

In addition, the Linear 3 mid/high units offer plenty of headroom thanks to 1,200- watt class D power amps, Intelligent Multiband Limiters ensure tonal integrity at every volume level, and precision directivity means the sound will go straight to the audience, with few unwanted reflections occurring.

They can be used in conjunction with Linear Sub subwoofers, including the new 15” L Sub 1500 A and the 18” L Sub 1800 A. The low-end the L SUB 1500 A and the L SUB 1800 A deliver is similarly suited to the Linear 5 series, and they can also be used to extend the Elements ‘Base’ systems. Each are equipped with a stereo input, meaning they can be configured in half stacks, full stacks, 2.1 setups, and in mono sub clusters.

Alexander Wollenberg, HK Audio’s product manager, said: “Linear 3 is the easiest way to impress your audience. Whether you’re a PA system expert or prefer to focus entirely on giving your best possible performance, Linear 3 gives you optimal results in seconds thanks to our groundbreaking technology, a bunch of logical yet innovative design features, and made-in-Germany quality. Plus, if you need an extra dose of thumping low- end power, the new Linear Sub basses are the perfect add-on. Linear 3 offers top performance you can trust in – every single time.”
