HK Audio LINEAR 9 118 Sub A Subwoofer- Each - Black

Compact and precise

The LINEAR 9 118 Sub A is a true powerhouse. Its bass-reflex construction allows for compact dimensions, and weighing in at just 42 kilograms, it is extremely easy to transport. A powerful punch, precise playback and impressive low frequency performance make this active bass the ideal complement to the mid/high units. What’s more, it meets all the requirements for quickly and easily implementing effective cardioid setups, both mechanically and with the available filter sets. Thanks to its stereo preamplifier, it is also ideal for use in 2.1 systems.

Powerful and wide – coverage without loss of sound

LINEAR 9 is a great choice for both its mid/high units and its subwoofers, with outstanding low-frequency sound pressure levels. The sound quality that HK Audio is famous for is even impressively maintained right up to the back row of the audience.

Scalable

Both the LINEAR 9 210 LTA, which can be scaled for any conceivable application thanks to the possibility of horizontal clustering, and the two flexible subwoofers, which can reproduce countless subwoofer setups, demonstrate the system’s technical as well as economic scalability.

Smart

The LINEAR 9 family has a high-performance integrated DSP with additional DSP Out. The DSP not only allows users to access the right presets directly on the speakers, but also to set up larger systems on a Mac or PC using an Ethernet connection and even make adjustments mid-event. The DSP Out also makes it possible to integrate a non-networked speaker and process its signal with the DSP CONTROL software.

Professional equipment

All LINEAR 9 speakers have professional connections for safe and smooth operation in the demanding day-to-day rental business. For example, both the mid/high units and the subwoofers have lockable PowerCon and EtherCon connections. All the speaker chassis and drivers used have been specially developed for HK Audio and come from premier suppliers.

Multifunctional cabinet for an even wider range of applications

Thanks to their cabinet shape with integrated 30° slant, the multifunctional speakers are also suitable for use as transverse stage monitors. Both models offer a preset optimised for use as a monitor, which compensates for the overemphasis of the low frequencies caused by ground coupling. The practical functionality is rounded off by the standard rigging points. The combination of a multifunctional cabinet and practical features allows the XA models to be used not only as stage monitors, but also as the ideal front, side or near-fill addition to a larger setup consisting of the LINEAR 9 210 LTA.
