LINEMASTER - the ultimate mastering monitor
Welcome the only linear phase mastering monitor utilizing cylindrical wave technology, worldwide.
With its uncompromising performance, the LINEMASTER sets benchmarks in loudspeaker construction and new standards for recording and mastering. It offers the highest degree of sound neut- rality, a perfect holographic stage with maximum impulse control up to the highest monitoring levels.Technically realized by our phase-linear KSD-FIRTEC™ processor, the music signal is converted into sound using the innovative NExT™ technology (Pat.:DE102015102643A). This generates a cylindrical wave that brings significantly more information to the engineer’s ear, allowing exceptional control. The power amplifiers with a system output of >2000W ensure minimal distortion and guarantee a more than adequate reproduction performance.
Exceptional low-frequency performance is provided by the combination of two sensor-regulated 12“ performance drivers with two additional (vented) 15” sub-chassis. The latency-free cone control of the 12“ drivers converts the low frequencies in the music signal into sound in an extremely controlled and resonance-free manner, while the two vented 15” drivers provide the necessary boost, even and especially at higher SPL levels. The combination of NexT™ technology and this exceptional bass drive offers an unheard-of performance with perfect control for the entire creative process in the studio.

THE ACOUSTIC ADVANTAGES OF THE LINEMASTER:
- NExT™ – Nearfield Extension with its direct control of the signal at greater distances
- Magnitude and phase linear frequency response from 18 Hz to 24,000 Hz
- < 4 msec latency time thanks to the combination of DMC™ and FIRTEC™
The LINEMASTER is not only an exceptional mastering monitor but also serves as an optimal interface to the end user, Hauser, offering a range of features such as remote control, networking in a 3D audio multi-channel setup, and analog and digital connection to high-resolution sources (27-bit ADC). Additionally, its cylinder shaft technology ensures distortion-free reproduction even in acoustically challenging rooms (similar to that of line array-sound systems).
