Same family: the HK Audio LINEAR 7 110 XA (smaller model, rated 4.2/5), the HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 XA (larger model, ranked higher, rated 4/5) and the HK Audio LINEAR 7 115 FA (larger model, rated 4.1/5).

Pros: A good sounding full range 12 inch powered PA speaker with networkable DSP for larger systems. High-quality manufacturer data yields a respectable 6.45 ideal-subwoofer preference score, and the networkable DSP is useful in larger systems. The 112 FA is designed as a full-range cabinet rather than the more monitor-focused XA variant. Measured bass extension of 63Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Measured bass extension is 63Hz and the value proposition depends on needing its system networking and professional rigging features. US availability is less consistent than QSC, JBL, Yamaha or RCF.

Frequency Response

How the HK Audio LINEAR 7 112 FA 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.
