NEW HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII

HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII

Are you looking for a powerful active head that performs equally well as both a full-range speaker and a mid/high unit in setups with a subwoofer? The HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII is an active 2-way top box with a transparent, full-bodied sound, long throw, and versatile DSP features for professional sound reinforcement applications.

The LINEAR 5 MK2 FA models were developed as powerful full-range mid/high units and are suitable for setups with or without a subwoofer. Thanks to their longer horns, they achieve impressive throw distances and enable precise sound distribution. This makes the HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII a powerful solution for live sound, mobile sound reinforcement, installations, and flexible PA systems.

Active 2-way top unit with powerful output

The HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII is designed as an active 2-way top box. The enclosure operates on the bass-reflex principle and offers a frequency response of 70 Hz to 18 kHz at -6 dB and 55 Hz to 19 kHz at -10 dB. This allows the top box to be used both in full-range mode and as a system mid/high unit.

The maximum peak sound pressure level is 135 dB. The maximum average SPL is specified as 128 dB. As a result, the HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII delivers high performance for applications that require impact and clear sound.

12" speaker, compression driver, and rotatable horn

For the low-to-midrange, the HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII uses a 12" cone woofer with a 2.5" voice coil. A 1" compression driver with a 1.7" voice coil handles the high-frequency range. The crossover frequency is 1.6 kHz and is implemented via a FIR crossover with a 72 dB/octave slope.

The constant-directivity horn is rotatable and has a coverage angle of 60° x 40°. This horn dispersion facilitates horizontal and vertical clustering, allowing the top unit to be flexibly integrated into various sound reinforcement configurations.

For setups with or without a subwoofer

As a stereo system, the HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII delivers additional low-end response and high punch. For use with LINEAR 5 MK2 subwoofers, a specially tuned filter is available that can be selected via a preset.

This allows the top unit to be quickly deployed as a mid/high unit in various systems. The available filter presets are Flat, Boost, Low Cut, and Remote. This allows the settings to be selected to suit the specific application.

DSP, Power Amplifier, and Controls

The HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII features a DSP preamp and a Class-D bi-amped power amplifier. The power amplifier delivers 600 W RMS and 1200 W peak power. The sample rate is 48 kHz, and latency is less than 2 ms.

DSP functions include a fully parametric 10-band EQ with variable filter characteristics, high-pass filter, low-pass filter, polarity, level, delay, limiter, and mute. Control is possible via HK Audio DSP CONTROL for Windows and Mac OS. Additionally, digital audio transmission via MILAN is supported.

Connections and Professional Integration

For signal routing, the HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII offers a balanced XLR/jack combo input, a balanced XLR output, and a balanced XLR DSP output. An Ethercon RJ45 port is available for network connections.

Power is supplied via an IEC connector with a V-Lock fuse system and supports 100–240 V. The maximum input level is +20 dBu. RMS and peak limiters are included to protect the speakers.

Flying Options and System Integration

The HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII can be flown using optional TB-45N or TB-45NQ tilt brackets. These attach to the Butterfly MultiGrips and enable secure and convenient mounting in flown setups.

Thanks to the combination of a rotatable horn, long throw, DSP control, and presets for various system configurations, this top unit is suitable for many professional sound reinforcement applications. It can be used standalone or as part of larger LINEAR 5 MK2 systems.

Purchase Recommendation

The HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII is a great choice for users looking for a powerful, active 12" top unit with transparent sound, high sound pressure, and flexible DSP functions. In particular, the combination of full-range capability, subwoofer preset, rotatable constant-directivity horn, and MILAN support makes this model highly versatile.

If you need a professional mid/high-frequency unit for setups with or without a subwoofer and prioritize long throw, controlled dispersion, digital control options, and powerful Class-D performance, the HK Audio Linear 5 112 FA MKII offers a high-performance solution for demanding PA applications.
