Connecting your HK Audio Linear 5 MKII speakers properly is key to getting the best audio experience. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Input Connection: Use the XLR/jack combo socket for balanced input of analogue signals. The 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, which can also be used in mono mode.
-
Thru Output: Utilize the parallel, balanced XLR output to send the signal from the Input to other components. This output remains active even when the electronic components are turned off.
-
Gain Adjustment: Use the Gain control to adjust the input gain for the incoming signal. The control range varies depending on your specific HK Audio Linear 5 MKII model.
-
DSP Out: Use the XLR port to forward the analogue or digital audio signal fed in via a network. The DSP Out can act as a network interface for connecting more powered speakers.
-
Ethernet Connection: Use the etherCON port for network integration. It's important to always use shielded cables to prevent any electromagnetic interference.
-
Power: Turn the power on and off using the rocker switch. The Power LED will illuminate when the electronic components are receiving power.
-
Mains Input: Connect the mains cable to the lockable IEC connector with the V-Lock securing system to ensure a secure connection.
-
Auto Sleep: Use the recessed button to enable or disable the energy-saving Auto Sleep mode.
Always refer to the specific setup instructions for your particular HK Audio Linear 5 MKII model in the user manual for detailed information and optimal performance.
