HK Audio Linear 5 MKII 112 XA - 1200W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Stage Monitor with DSP Control and 80 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The HK Audio Linear 5 MKII 112 XA is a powerful 1200W 12-inch powered stage monitor that combines compact design with exceptional versatility. Equipped with a 12" woofer and a tweeter with a 1.7" voice coil, this speaker delivers transparent, assertive sound with impressive bass and a clear midrange. Its multifunctional enclosure features a 31° monitor slope and a rotatable horn with an 80° x 60° dispersion pattern, making it an ideal solution for low-feedback, directional monitoring on small stages. Even without rotating the horn, the speaker's narrow, horizontal dispersion ensures minimal reflections, allowing it to excel in live performance and monitoring applications.

Powered by a bi-amped Class-D amplifier, the Linear 5 MKII 112 XA offers 600W RMS and 1200W peak power, providing high output sound capable of achieving a maximum SPL of 136 dB, ideal for medium to large venues. The speaker's frequency response ranges from 67 Hz to 19 kHz, ensuring full-range, balanced sound reproduction with enhanced bass performance. It features a remote-controllable high-performance DSP with integrated, directly selectable presets, including Flat, Monitor, Low Cut, and Remote, providing sound engineers with the flexibility to tailor the audio output to a wide variety of applications. The DSP tools offer a comprehensive set of controls, including a fully parametric 10-band EQ with variable filter characteristics, high-pass and low-pass filters, polarity control, delay, limiter, and mute functions.

Additionally, the DSP Out feature allows the processed signal from the speaker to be routed to a non-network-compatible speaker, providing a seamless solution for complex setups. The speaker also includes a professional EtherCon network port for remote control via DSP CONTROL software, compatible with both Windows and macOS, enabling fine-tuned control of the system. The Linear 5 MKII 112 XA is housed in a hybrid birch multiplex/MDF enclosure, finished in durable black acrylic enamel, ensuring both strength and a sleek professional look. The 2 mm metal grille, backed with black acoustic foam, offers additional protection while maintaining sound quality.

Designed for both stage and system applications, the speaker includes versatile mounting options, such as the DuoTilt pole mount, which offers a 3° or 7° angle of inclination for precise speaker positioning. With three reinforced M8 mounting points, the Linear 5 MKII 112 XA is suitable for rigging, offering flexibility for installation in various configurations. The two SingleGrip carrying handles make transportation and setup easy, and the speaker is built to withstand the demands of touring and live performances. When used with the LINEAR 5 MKII subwoofers, the Linear 5 MKII 112 XA provides a complete, powerful sound system for professional audio applications.
