Audience is introduced to the latest product launch by HK Audio: the LINEAR 9 Long Throw Pack, a new offering geared towards touring professionals.
HK Audio, a leading manufacturer of professional audio equipment, has announced the release of the LINEAR 9 Long Throw Pack - a scalable, road-ready speaker system designed specifically for touring professionals and rental firms needing extended range, clarity, and control.
The system consists of two LINEAR 9 210 LTA mid/high units and six LINEAR 9 118 Sub BA subwoofers. The LINEAR 9 210 LTA, the most powerful tops in the LINEAR 9 series, are engineered for clustered arrays and quick rigging. They boast a constant-curvature design for dispersion across the horizontal plane, ensuring consistent coverage and long-throw precision.
The LINEAR 9 118 Sub BA subwoofers, on the other hand, provide a tight, punchy low-end foundation with depth and definition. These 18-inch dual-vented bandpass subs deliver tightly controlled low-frequency response, making them ideal for delivering extended horizontal coverage and high output in both mobile and installed environments.
Key features and specifications of the LINEAR 9 Long Throw Pack include:
- Extended horizontal coverage and high sound pressure level (SPL) output, making the system suitable for various applications.
- Plug-and-play usability with DSP Control software allowing remote adjustment of EQ, delay, limiter, mute, and presets from the front-of-house position via EtherCon network connection.
- The DSP OUT feature enables integration with non-networked speakers, applying uniform DSP processing across the system.
- MILAN audio networking compatibility will be available through a free firmware update (released May 2025), broadening integration options.
- The system is optimized for touring and rental use, focusing on ease of use, robustness, and uncompromised performance in range and clarity.
Andreas Mayerl, CPO at HK Audio, stated that the LINEAR 9 Long Throw Pack was designed as a complete solution for audio professionals, offering coverage, clarity, and performance without complexity. The pack delivers “serious performance straight out of the box” with a balance of throw range, flexibility, and operational simplicity.
All components in the LINEAR 9 range are controlled via HK Audio's DSP CONTROL software, allowing for easy management and adjustment of the system. The LINEAR 9 Long Throw Pack is available now through HK Audio and its authorized distribution network.
