Frequently Asked Questions - Linear 5 MK II 115 Sub A HK AUDIO

How to set up cardioid mode with two LINEAR 5 MK II 115 Sub A subwoofers?

Place the two subwoofers either stacked (vertical) or side by side (horizontal). For the rear subwoofer, use the Cardioid 1:1 vertical or Cardioid 1:1 horizontal preset via the Preset selector on the back. The front subwoofer remains in Front preset. Maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from walls.

What to do if the red limiter LED stays permanently on?

Reduce the input level using the Gain control to avoid clipping. A brief red illumination during peaks is normal, but continuous illumination indicates too high a level.

How to use the DSP Out output?

The DSP Out (XLR) output delivers the input signal processed by the internal DSP. It allows connecting an additional speaker, even if not network-compatible. By default, it outputs the unprocessed signal. You can configure it via the DSP CONTROL software.

How to activate or deactivate the Auto Sleep function?

Use the recessed Auto Sleep switch on the back. Pressed in = enabled (factory), pulled out = disabled. Auto sleep engages after 4.5 hours without audio signal, no network activity, and no control use.

Can I use this subwoofer without a satellite?

Yes, you can use it alone with the Front or Cardioid presets. However, the subwoofer is optimized for use with LINEAR 5 MK II satellites. The Low Cut preset on the satellites is recommended for seamless integration.

What is the function of the Remote preset?

The Remote preset recalls a personal setting saved via the DSP CONTROL software. It allows loading custom DSP configurations without needing to connect the speaker to a computer in real time.

How to clean the speaker?

Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the cabinet. Never use liquid or abrasive products. Do not clean the interior; have maintenance performed by a qualified professional.

Can I suspend this subwoofer?

No, the 115 Sub A is not intended for suspension. It has no rigging points. Use it on the floor or on a stable stand. The M20 pole mount allows pole mounting.

What to do if the speaker does not power on?

Check the power cable, mains outlet, and internal fuse (replacement by a professional). Make sure the Power switch is in the on position. If the problem persists, contact HK Audio technical support.

How to connect an additional subwoofer via the network?

Use the Ethernet Thru port of the first subwoofer to connect to the Ethernet input of the second. Use S/STP or S/FTP CAT6 cables. Network configuration is detailed in the separate manual available on the HK Audio website.

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.

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 flow systems. Observe the given national regulations when doing so.

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

1 General Information

Items delivered

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

2 Connections and controls

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

The LINEAR 5 MKII XA/FA models have one input channel.
The LINEAR 5MKII 115 Sub A and LINEAR 5MKII 118 Sub A subwoofoers 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.

DSPOut

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 Cain knob setting.

Ethernet mid/high units

Ethernet subwoofoers

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 subwoofer 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 5MKII 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 5MKII download page at www.hkaudio.com.

Preset overview:

	LINEAR 5 MK II 110 XA, 112 XA, 115 XA	LINEAR 5 MK II 112 FA, 115 FA	LINEAR 5 MK II 115 Sub A, 118 Sub A
1 Flat Flat Front
2 Monitor Boost Cardioid 1:1		vertical
3 Low Cut Low Cut Cardioid		1:1 hori	zontal
4	Remote (to access stored settings via the remote HK Audio DSP CONTROL software)

The LINEAR 5 MKII XA/FA models' factory presets:

Flat	Delivers linear response across the full frequency range
Monitor	Optimised to dampen the extra bass generated by floor cou-pling when you set a speaker on its side for use as a monitor
Boost	Enhances low-frequency response when used as a stan-dalone speaker without a subwoofer.
Low Cut	A high-pass filter optimises the unit for use as a mid/high unit paired with the LINEAR 5 MKII 115 Sub A or 118 Sub A

The LINEAR 5 MK II 115 Sub A and 118 Sub A's factory presets

Front	Standard operating mode for a forward-facing subwoofer
Cardioid 1:1 vertical	For cardioid setups with two stacked subwooers with one forward-facing LINEAR 5 MKII subwoofer. (see section 4.2 for more on this)
Cardioid 1:1 horizontal	For cardioid setups with two side-by-side subwooers 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 frequency band, high-pass and low-pass filters with variable filter characteristics, 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.

9 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.

10 PowerLED

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

11 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.

12 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).

3 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 subwoofoers:

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 housings 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-fi eld dispersion. The LINEAR 5 MK II 115 XA has a horn with a medium 70^× 50^ throw pattern. The LINEAR 5 MK II 112 FA and 115 FA come with a horn with a narrower 60^× 40^ long-throw pattern.

You need tools to rotate the homs, 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 narrower 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.

4 Setting Up Speakers

4.1 The XA/FA Models

LINEAR 5 MK II mid/high units may be stacked on subwoofoers, 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 35mm speaker stands and poles off ering 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 tipping. 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).

4.2 LINEAR 5 MKII 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: Cardiod 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, 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 marquee 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 subwoofoers therefore meet all the requirements for quickly and easily implementing effective Cardioid setups, both mechanically and with the available filter sets.

5 Example systems

5.1 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 LINEAR 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.

5.2 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

5.3 Stacking Speakers

Placing three LINEAR 5 m ii subwoofoers on top of one another creates a 1.65 m stack. You may place the mid/high units directly on the bass bins.

Presets:

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

Note: Setup as a stack should only be carried out by qualified

personnel and with appropriate standards such as securing with lashing straps on flat surfaces.
