Hk audio L7-112FA

LINEAR 7 is the latest and most advanced range in the LINEAR series. It is aimed in particular at professional bands, DJs and service providers.

What sets LINEAR 7 apart, and makes it the tool of choice for use in "live" conditions, is its advanced DSP technology controlled via Ethernet. This technology makes it possible to control other LINEAR series loudspeakers using the DSP output integrated into LINEAR 7 models. What's more, LINEAR 7 also offers user-configurable cardioid functions, and features the Milan protocol, the new digital audio network standard for audio streaming.

Precision and sound coverage

LINEAR 7 offers ultra-precise coverage of the frequency spectrum thanks to minimized distortion and optimized directivity. Each loudspeaker delivers powerful, homogeneous sound, whether in front or in the rear.

High-performance DSP for total control

Its sophisticated DSP platform incorporates a fully parametric 10-band equalizer, adjustable delay and precise limiter. These tools enable customized sound configuration, perfectly adapted to each environment.

Advanced network technology

Thanks to network connectivity, you can control the DSP of each LINEAR 7 loudspeaker from a single point via a dedicated Windows and Mac OS compatible application (an iPad version is under development). This simplifies the management of large audio systems and improves sound consistency.

Extended DSP output and compatibility

An additional DSP output enables a non-compatible powered loudspeaker (such as a LINEAR SUB active subwoofer) to be integrated into the network and controlled remotely with the same DSP parameters as LINEAR 7 models.

Intelligent presets and flexibility of use

Presets are available for use in monitoring mode or as a complete system, even without a network connection. So you can quickly adapt your configuration to suit the location and situation.

Professional audio quality

High-resolution 96 kHz converters, combined with FIR filtering and low latency, guarantee faithful, dynamic sound reproduction. Signal clarity and transient accuracy deliver an exceptional listening experience.

Ergonomics and robustness

LINEAR 7 features ergonomic mounting and attachment options, ideal for touring and fixed installations. Its robust design ensures total reliability, even under intense stage conditions.
