HK Audio is pleased to announce that the speakers in the successful LINEAR series – LINEAR 5 MK II 112 XA & Sub 118 A, LINEAR 7 and LINEAR 9 – have officially received Milan certification. This gives HK Audio the largest portfolio of Milan-enabled speakers to date.

Milan – the fast, flexible and reliable audio network

Milan, based on the AVB standard (Audio Video Bridging), enables reliable and precisely synchronised audio streaming with extremely low latency over Ethernet networks. The cross-manufacturer standard ensures seamless communication between devices from different brands and eliminates brand-specific limitations. This greatly simplifies the setup and operation of modern audio networks.

Milan reserves the bandwidth needed for audio streaming, which effectively prevents interference from network traffic and dropouts – a crucial advantage for professional audio applications where stability and quality are paramount.

Free Milan Update for Existing Speakers

All previously installed Milan-certified HK Audio speakers can be made Milan-compatible with a free firmware update. This update can be easily and conveniently installed using the HK Audio DSP CONTROL software. This means that customers can easily upgrade their systems at no extra cost or effort.

Future-proof audio solutions with the HK Audio LINEAR series

With the Milan certification, HK Audio has once again cemented its position as a driver of innovation in the professional audio sector. The LINEAR series not only offers outstanding sound and innovative DSP technology, but now also the advantages of a state-of-the-art, interference-free network standard.
