Connecting your HK Audio Linear 5 MKII speaker correctly ensures optimal audio performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Input Connection: Use the XLR/jack combo socket for balanced input of analog signals. XA/FA models have one input channel. The 115 Sub A and 118 Sub A subwoofers feature two separate inputs for left and right signals, usable in mono mode.
-
Thru Output: Utilize the parallel, balanced XLR output to send the signal from the Input to other components. This output stays active even when the electronic components are off.
-
Gain Adjustment: Use the Gain control to adjust the input gain. The control range differs across models.
-
DSP Out: Use the XLR port to forward the analog or digital audio signal received via a network. The DSP Out acts as a network interface for adding more powered speakers.
-
Ethernet Connection: Use the etherCON port for network integration. Always use shielded cables to avoid electromagnetic interference.
-
Power: Use the rocker switch to turn the speaker on and off. The Power LED indicates when the electronic components are receiving power.
-
Mains Input: Connect the mains cable to the lockable IEC connector with the V-Lock securing system.
-
Auto Sleep: Use the recessed button to enable or disable the energy-saving Auto Sleep mode.
