LINEAR 5 LTS LINEAR SUB 4000 THE NEW PERFORMANCE CLASS > PASSIVE
LINEAR 5 LTS LONG THROW. ULTRA COMPACT. ECONOMICAL. What does it take to throw the entire frequency spectrum over 30 meters and beyond? Only large line arrays pack a punch powerful enough to deliver that kind of performance. Until now, that is. The LINEAR 5 LTS passive speaker has arrived, and it’s the first speaker to deliver real long throw performance in an ultra-compact format. Now you can hit the road with fewer speaker components in tow, saving valuable space on your truck.
LONG THROW. Whether it’s 30, 40 or 50 meters – the new LTS mid/high unit throws the sonic image as far as it needs to go, sending even silky top-end frequencies all the way to the back row. This is made possible thanks to HK Audio’s ground-breaking Multicell Transformer technology. This ingenious invention drastically reduces high frequency distortion, thereby solving a major problem of legacy horn and waveguide designs: they generate distortion that limits the amount of useful sound pressure.
THE INNOVATIVE MULTICELL TRANSFORMER To date, there have been two ways to construct long range speaker systems. The time-tested approach is to use long throw horns. They have to have very large mouths and deep enclosures to accommodate the horn’s throat, so the housings are huge. Plus, there’s a lot of real estate inside the horn. These surfaces cause resonances and reflections that manifest as distortion, particularly at high frequencies.
HK Audio engineers took up the challenge of reinventing the long throw speaker and came up with a ground-breaking solution: the Multicell Transformer (MCT). This ingenious invention makes the most of horns’ and waveguides’ physical advantages, with none of the drawbacks. The mouths of the nine horn channels form a line array, with sound traveling down channels of different lengths to achieve different delay times. This yields a perfect vertical curve and a very precise +5°/-25° pattern of throw.

LINEAR SUB 4000 Powerful and Versatile L SUB 4000 is the flexible new 18" passive subwoofer from HK Audio. Compatible with all LINEAR 5 fullrange speakers and mid/high units, its powerful low end — ranging from 30 to 100 Hertz — is totally and powerfully impressive. L SUB 4000 can also serve as a sub-low add-on to LINEAR SUB 2000 to beef up the bottom end in the range of 30 to 80 Hertz.
Dynamic and Faithful Response Rugged high-tech courtesy of German engineering: HK Audio has decades of experience developing advanced sound reinforcement solutions, and the L SUB 4000 has also benefitted from our engineers’ unique skillset. This subwoofer delivers high maximum SPL paired with dynamic, deep-ranging response, and renders signal peaks with remarkable fidelity even when pushed very hard. Its robust wood housing is built to withstand the wear and tear of daily use.
