The LINEAR 5 MK II FA models are powerful full-range mid/high units with a transparent, full sound. Due to the longer horns, they achieve impressive throw distances. As a stereo system, the FA models provide the necessary extra low-end and punch. A special filter adapted to the characteristics of the LINEAR 5 MK II subwoofers, which can be selected via a preset, makes it possible to use the LINEAR 5 MK II FA models as system mid/high units with high usable output in various systems in no time at all. The horn dispersion facilitates horizontal and vertical clustering. With optional TB-45N or TB-45NQ tilt brackets attached to the MultiGrips, the FA models can be rigged easily and safely.
DSP – Powerful and smart The integrated high-performance DSPs allow tuning of the system with high precision. They provide increased usable sound pressure before distortion sets in and reduce the risk of feedback significantly.
Not only can the four matching presets be accessed directly at the loudspeaker cabinet, but also via Ethernet connection and the DSP CONTROL software for larger system set-ups on a Mac or PC and ad-hoc adjustements.
The DSP Out also allows integration of a non-networked loudspeaker, processing its signal independently of the DSP settings within the loudspeaker using the DSP CONTROL software.
Cardioid – Problem solver for professionals in any situation Professional sound technicians respond to stringent sound insulation requirements, uncontrolled bass dispersion on and behind the stage and a high feedback risk in the lower frequency range with Cardioid technology for the subwoofers. This technical trick is now easily achieved without measurement technology: simply set up, select a preset, and you’re done!
The Cardioid setup attenuates the bass sound pressure of the physically spherically radiating subwoofers behind the subwoofers by up to 34 dB. There is a slight increase in sound pressure of approx. 2 dB in the front sound dispersion. This results in a directional, cardioid radiation pattern.
Cardioid sound reinforcement technology can be used with vertically stacked subwoofers and also with horizontal setups. This is an enormous advantage on low stages. The 1:1 vertical and 1:1 horizontal cardioid presets are unique features.
