HK Audio Introduces A Powerful New System Package

HK Audio has introduced a powerful new system package within its LINEAR 5 MK2 series: the LINEAR 5 MK2 High Power System.
Designed as a scalable, ready-to-deploy solution for large venues and open-air events, this new configuration combines key components from the MK2 range to deliver exceptional sound pressure, throw and low-frequency performance.
At the heart of the system is the LINEAR 5 MK2 308 LTA mid/high unit. This horn-loaded, long-throw active mid/high speaker is ideal for wide dispersion and deep coverage in demanding environments. When combined in clusters or stacks, users can benefit from preset-based configuration and seamless horizontal coverage.
The system is paired with the LINEAR 5 MK2 118 Sub HPA — the most powerful subwoofer in the series. With its 18-inch woofer and bass reflex design, it delivers significantly more energy in the low-end range, making it the ideal match for the 308 LTA setup.
Like the rest of the MK2 series, this package includes integrated DSP for precise tuning, reduced feedback risk, and overall improved sonic performance. The free HK Audio DSP Control software allows full remote management, user-created presets, component grouping and firmware updates. In addition, the system’s DSP OUT functionality allows non-networked loudspeakers to be easily integrated and managed within the same setup.
Other performance-enhancing features include cardioid filter presets for directional bass control and upcoming MILAN audio networking compatibility, available via a free firmware update.
"The LINEAR 5 MK2 High Power System configuration brings together the most capable elements of our MK2 series," said Andreas Mayerl, CPO at HK Audio. "It's a scalable solution for rental companies and audio professionals looking for reliable, consistent performance in high-SPL environments. With powerful low end, precise coverage and modern control features, this system is a strong addition to our lineup."
