HK Audio Linear 9 110 XA - 700W 10-inch Powered 2-Way Stage Monitor with DSP Control and 80 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The HK Audio Linear 9 110 XA is a powerful, multifunctional 10-inch active loudspeaker, designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and versatile performance in a wide range of applications. Whether used as a stage monitor, front-of-house speaker, side fill, or near-fill addition, the Linear 9 110 XA excels at providing clear, balanced sound coverage. Its wide-angle 80° x 60° rotatable CD horn ensures uniform near-field dispersion, making it an ideal solution for both small and large venues. The integrated DSP offers advanced control over the speaker's performance, allowing users to fine-tune the sound to suit the specific needs of their environment.

At the core of the Linear 9 110 XA is an advanced DSP platform, which includes a fully parametric 10-band EQ, delay, and limiting functions for uncompromised sound adjustment. The DSP can be controlled via the HK Audio DSP CONTROL software, which provides users with numerous options for on-site system equalization and adjustment. For added convenience, the speaker features four DSP presets that can be accessed directly on the speaker, eliminating the need for a PC connection. These presets include Flat, Monitor, Low Cut, and a user-designed Remote preset, giving users flexibility in adapting the sound to different applications.

Designed for both ease of use and durability, the Linear 9 110 XA features a robust enclosure made from birch multiplex with a durable PU coating, ensuring the speaker is protected from the elements and physical damage during transport. The speaker is built to withstand the rigors of professional use, with a weight of just 36.4 lbs, making it easy to handle and transport. The speaker also features multiple rigging options, including five M8 rigging points for flexible mounting, as well as two SingleGrip carrying handles for added convenience. The 30° housing angle allows for optimal stage monitoring, while the DuoTilt system provides 3° or 7° of tilt for tripod mounting, further increasing its versatility.

The Linear 9 110 XA is powered by a 700W Class D bi-amped amplifier, delivering a peak power output of 129 dB at 10% THD, making it capable of delivering clear, high-output sound even in large spaces. The speaker's frequency response of 70 Hz to 19 kHz ensures a wide range of audio reproduction, while the low-latency DSP system (less than 2.6 ms) ensures precise, transparent sound with minimal delay. The high-resolution AD/DA converters, operating at a 96 kHz sample rate, further enhance the sound quality, providing crisp and accurate audio for any application.
