1 Gain A/B
This knob adjusts the level of Input A / B.
2 Mic/Line (Input A only)
If you wish to connect a microphone, set the Line/Mic button to Mic. This
boosts Input A‘s sensitivity by 30 dB to optimize its gain structure for mic
signals.
3 Input A/B
These electronically balanced, combination XLR/ 6.3 mm (1/4") ports accept
audio signals.
4 Through A/B
This parallel output routes Input A/B’s incoming signal back out.
5 Gain
This switch adapts the inputs’ gain levels to match the signal source. You
have two options, +4 dBu and L5 System. Select L5 System and set the
Gain A and B knobs to the 12 o’clock position (0 dB/ center-notched) to get
a perfect match with other LINEAR series components.

Small Venue
High Power
The switchable EQ (High Power/Small Venue) lets you voice this unit for dif-
ferent applications. The High Power fi lter setting voices it for applications
demanding maximum performance, range and SPL. Designed for smaller to
midsized rooms, the Small Room EQ setting lends the cab great depth and
transparency to rival that of big studio monitors.

Monitor
Flat/Top
This switch optimizes the frequency response of the active L5 112 XA for
use as a mid/ high unit or as a monitor (placed on its side). Flat/Top is the
linear setting for use as a mid/ high unit with an added subwoofer or as a
standalone speaker. When the switch is set to Monitor, the high-frequency
driver’s dampening factor is reduced to ensure the speaker cuts through on
loud stages.
7 Status LED
This dual-color LED serves as a status indicator for the LINEAR 5 active
speaker (green = power on, red =limit/error). The LED briefl y fl ashes red to
tell you the limiter is responding to signal peaks.
Caution! If the Status LED stays red during operation, it is being overloa-
ded. Turn down the signal level! If you are not routing a signal in and the
Status LED stays red, the system has detected a fault.
8 Power
This is the on/off button for the LINEAR 5 active speaker. Its status LED
lights up green when it is engaged.
Caution! A LINEAR 5 active speaker is automatically on standby as soon
as its cord is connected to a mains outlet. These speakers consume about
0.25 watts per hour in standby mode.
9 Mains Input
Use the factory-included mains cord to connect this socket to a wall outlet.
Note: All LINEAR 5 active speakers are equipped with V-Lock mains
sockets. If you use a VOLEX locking mains cord or another optionally
available brand with the same design, you can fi x the mains cord in place
to prevent accidental disconnection.
10 Mix Out
This balanced XLR output routes Inputs A/B’s composite signal out. Use
the Gain A knob and the Mic/Line switch to adjust Input A’s signal level and
the Gain B knob to adjust Input B’s signal level.
