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.

The switchable EQ (High Power/Small Venue) lets you voice this unit
for different applications. The High Power filter 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.

EQ
6
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 briefly flashes red
to tell you the limiter is responding to signal peaks.
Caution! If the Status LED stays red during operation, it is being
overloaded. 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 fix 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.
