Q: What does the red LED on the subwoofer mean?

On your HK AUDIO Linear 5 MK II 115 Sub A subwoofer, the red LED is the indicator for limiter intervention and input signal saturation. Meaning based on behavior: Brief and intermittent red blinking: The limiter is normally intervening on level peaks. This is correct operation that protects your subwoofer. Red LED permanently on: The input level is too high and is saturating. You need to reduce the input level to avoid continuous signal limiting. Under normal conditions, the LED remains green (audio signal detected without issue) or briefly blinks red (momentary signal peaks). A steady green LED indicates that an audio signal is present at the input.
