Auto Sleep

Use this recessed button to switch energy-saving Auto Sleep mode on and
off . Your speaker leaves the factory with the Auto Sleep button pressed to
enable this mode. This function puts the electronic components to sleep
when four and a half hours pass without the speaker registering an audio
signal, data sent to the Ethercon ports, or an adjustment of a button or
knob. The only way to wake it up is by switching the Power button off and
on again or patching an analog audio signal into the Input.
Heads up: You cannot wake up the speaker via the Ethercon ports.
There is but one way to deactivate the Auto Sleep function – by
'unpressing' the button to set it to the up position.
3 An Overview of the Various LINEAR 7
Models
L7 110 XA L7 112 FA L7 112 XA
The LINEAR 7 series consists of four mid/high units and a subwoofer, the
L7 110 XA, L7 112 XA, L7 112 FA, L7 115 FA and the L7 118 Sub A. The housings
of the multifunctional L7 110 XA and L7 112 XA models are angled 30° so you
can also set them sideways for use monitors. The larger housings of the
L7 112 FA and L7 115 FA fullrange models deliver more low-frequency sound
pressure.

L7 110 XA / L7 112 XA
All XA and FA models are loaded with rotatable horns. The directivity of
each cabinet's horn is optimized for its primary purpose – that is, the most
frequently used application. The L7 110 XA cab sports a 10" woofer and
a horn with a wide 80°x60° throw pattern to provide uniform near-fi eld
coverage. L7 112 FA/XA cabs feature a 12" woofer and a horn with a medium
70°x50° throw pattern. The L7 115 FA cab comes with 15" woofer and a horn
with a narrow 60°x40° long-throw pattern.
You need tools to rotate the horns, so they are not conducive to frequent
adjustment. The idea is to optimize the throw pattern for the cabinet's
primary application.
Tip: You do not have to rotate the horn when setting the cab on its side
for use as a stage monitor. In fact, the upright speaker's narrower vertical
throw pattern works great in the horizontal position. Its tightly focused
directivity minimizes overlap with adjacent monitors and reduces the risk
of feedback risk because you can aim the speaker more accurately.

4 Setting Up Speakers

4.1 The FA/XA Models
LINEAR 7 mid/high units may be stacked on subwoofers, mounted on
speaker stands or poles, installed with wall brackets, or fl own with the
proper rigging hardware.
Setting Up with the DuoTilt 3/7
-3° -7°
All mid/high units feature the HK Audio DuoTilt 3/7, a special mount for 35
mm speaker stands and poles off ering two angles, -3° and -7°, to provide
better coverage. The DuoTilt 3/7 is sited closer to the baffl e to maintain the
optimum center of gravity when the speaker is on a stand.
Setting Up with the Tilt Unit
-3°
Tilt-Unit
HK Audio off ers an optional Tilt Unit if you wish to tilt the mid/high units
when they are stacked directly on subwoofers. It screws into the L7 118 Sub
A's M20 mount just like a speaker pole. This lets you take advantage of the
DuoTilt's -3° and -7° inclination angles in stacked setups with the Tilt Unit
holding the mid/high units in place.
Caution! If you do not use the Tilt Unit to stack mid/high units, be sure to
secure these cabinets in place, for example, with lashing straps.
