HK Audio LINEAR 5 112 FA - ranked #26 of 37 12-Inch Two-Way Powered PA Speakers · Editor's rating 3.6/5

#26 HK Audio LINEAR 5 112 FA: $955.00 eBay

Pros: High-quality vendor data yields a 4.50 ideal-subwoofer preference score, while the asymmetric horn can cover wider near-field seating without wasting as much energy upward. The 135dB claimed peak gives it substantial headroom.

Cons: The 70Hz measured bass extension points toward subwoofer use, and the 23.9kg cabinet is relatively heavy. This original LINEAR 5 generation lacks the deeper networked DSP and current support advantages of the newer MK2, LINEAR 7 and LINEAR 9 models.

How it compares: Just above it: RCF ART 712-A MK5 - $356 cheaper. Just below it: HK Audio LINEAR 5 112 XA - $155 cheaper.
