#3 HK Audio LINEAR 7 110 XA: $1,799.00 Amazon $1,799.00 eBay

Same family: the HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 FA (larger model, rated 3.8/5), the HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 XA (larger model, rated 4/5) and the HK Audio LINEAR 7 115 FA (larger model, rated 4.1/5).

Pros: A smooth, accurate 10 inch PA speaker with network control, detailed EQ, and an angled cabinet that doubles as a stage monitor. High-quality vendor data returns a 6.34 ideal-subwoofer preference score with 75Hz measured extension, ahead of its own 112 XA sibling. MILAN/AVB networking, a 10-band parametric EQ and a rotatable 80° x 60° horn with an integrated 30° slant for monitor use make it a versatile systems-oriented choice. Measured bass extension of 82.5Hz (-3dB).

Cons: At 17kg it is not the lightest 10-inch box, and buyers who do not need networked audio may find comparable performance in simpler mainstream models.

Is the HK Audio LINEAR 7 110 XA right for you?

Frequency Response

How the HK Audio LINEAR 7 110 XA measures across the audible range. A flatter listening window (the sound arriving straight at you) is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. The estimated in-room response adds what a typical room does, and there a gentle, even tilt down toward the treble is ideal. Both curves are shifted so their 300 Hz to 3 kHz average sits at 0 dB.

EQ for a Neutral Response

Flattens the measured listening window from the HK Audio LINEAR 7 110 XA's own bass extension up to 16 kHz. Set a preamp of -2.3 dB, then add these filters to any parametric equalizer in the signal path: the speaker's app or DSP if it has parametric EQ, a miniDSP, Equalizer APO or Wavelet. Boosts are kept to 3 dB, and EQ cannot fix how evenly the speaker spreads sound off-axis, which is why some speakers gain more than others. Predicted preference score with this EQ: 4.5, up from 3.3 (7.6 with an ideal subwoofer, up from 6.3). Calculated by Speaker Ranking from the spinorama measurements above.
