deliver more low-frequency sound pressure.

The LINEAR 5 110 XA and 112 XA speakers are equipped with an 80°
MK II
x 60° wide dispersion horn for homogeneous near-field dispersion. The
LINEAR 5 115 XA has a horn with a medium 70°x50° throw pattern. The
MK II
LINEAR 5 112 FA and 115 FA come with a horn with a narrower 60°x40°
MK II
long-throw pattern.
You need tools to rotate the horns, so they are not conducive to frequent
adjustment. The idea is to optimize the throw pattern for the cabinet's
primary application.
Good to know: You do not have to rotate the horn when setting the cab
on its side for use as a stage monitor. In fact, the upright speaker's nar-
rower vertical throw pattern works great in the horizontal position. This
minimises overlap with adjacent monitors and reduces the feedback risk
because you can focus the speaker more accurately.

Setting Up with the DuoTilt 3/7

118 SUB A
All mid/high units feature the HK Audio DuoTilt 3/7, a special mount for
35 mm speaker stands and poles offering two angles, -3° and -7°, to provide
MK
better coverage. The DuoTilt 3/7 is sited closer to the baffle to maintain the
optimum centre of gravity when the speaker is on a stand.
General Information about Setting Up with Speaker Stands
Note! Always make sure the speaker stand is on solid footing and be sure
to observe the manufacturer's instructions as to its maximum load-bear-
ing capacity.
Take care!
• Use only speaker stands that are stable enough to prevent accidental tip-
ping. Ensure the speaker stand is designed to handle the cabinet's weight.
The highest setting on adjustable stands must be limited to prevent the
combination of speaker stand and speaker from tipping. This applies when
setting up the stand on a flat, horizontal surface.
• When setting up on an uneven or sloping surface, make sure the speaker
stand's base is secured to prevent accidental tipping, either by attach-
ing suitable weights to the base or taking other measures to secure the
stand.
• The use of any other fixtures or fittings can result in instability that may
cause injury.
Rigging:
The XA and FA models can be flown by installing the AP-8 attachment and
steel cables or chains to their rigging points. The 112 FA, 115 FA and 115 XA
models additionally provide for rigging operation in combination with the
installation of the HK Audio TB-45N and TB-45NQ tilt brackets (Q-model
removable with quick-release pins).
