Presets

Recurring venues with recurring acoustic challenges used to be major time sinks when it came to sound checks. Thanks to the option to store presets, this is now a thing of the past. Simply save the optimum settings and load them directly on the speaker or from the DSP CONTROL software.

DSP-Out

One extra-special feature that is only available in the network-compatible LINEAR series is that an additional, non-network-compatible active speaker (e.g. from the LINEAR 3 series) can be integrated into the network via DSP Out and then all parameters individually remote controlled. This ensures that existing infrastructure retains its value as well as its future viability. A fully parametric 10-band EQ, high-pass filter, low-pass filter, delay, polarity and limiting are available independently for both the speakers and DSP-Out.

A fader and a mute button are available for the loudspeaker and the DSP output, allowing the levels of the controlled loudspeaker and the loudspeaker at the DSP output to be adjusted separately and remotely.

Group functions

It has never been easier to organise a complex setup with a multitude of network-compatible HK Audio speakers. Whether you want to separate the left and right sides in a stereo setup or control several speakers in different rooms, this can be done in no time at all with groups. The DSP CONTROL software offers the possibility to access functions such as equalizer, limiter, volume and mute through sub and main groups.

Wink Button

Wink at your LINEAR 7 or LINEAR 9 speaker and it will flash back. When you ping the speakers with the Wink button, several LED signals will flash on the speaker, making it easy to spot the respective speaker, even in darker locations.

Delay

The Delay function makes it possible to set the ideal delay times in user-defined units. This allows you to create delay lines, for example, to produce the best sound experience at any point in the audience.

Milan – the fast, flexible and reliable audio network

Milan networking capability is now available for all LINEAR and ELEMENTS loudspeakers with DSP. A firmware update may be necessary for older loudspeakers.

Milan (Media Integrated Local Area Networking), 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.
