Akurate 2200 by Linn - Power Amplifier by Linn

The precision-engineered Linn Akurate power amplifier range is built around Linn’s latest high-efficiency, cool-running Chakra* amplifier topology.

Suited to a variety of applications, from stereo to multi-channel and from passive to Aktiv**, the Akurate range is designed to offer consistent performance, controlled ‘silent power’ and pure sound.

The Linn Akurate power amplifier range is superior in every parameter because it uses a highly innovative design, perfected by Linn. Chakra amplification offers increased power, reliability and efficiency, less heat and lower distortion.

Linn's Chakra amplification deploys Linn’s proprietary, hum and buzz-free Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) technology for superior mains noise isolation and efficiency to generate stable, clean power for the audio circuitry.

The Akurate power amplifer range comprises three models differentiated by the number of channels. All models are available with either Balanced XLR or RCA Phono input connectors and feature 4 mm binding posts for loudspeaker connectors using 4 mm banana plugs and 6 mm or 8 mm spade connectors. All models can accommodate internal Aktiv crossover cards.

Available in black or silver finish, the Akurate power amplifier range complements other components in the Akurate System.

The Akurate System delivers performance designed for music lovers.

Linn Kisto - System Controller

Kisto is Linn’s finest System Controller with advanced circuitry developed from that used in Linn’s flagship stereo pre-amplifiers meaning performance is assured.

The intelligent Linn Kisto System Controller will simplify even the most complex systems, integrating all audio and video sources with screens, projection, lighting and automation. Kisto can be programmed to switch on your entire system, including switching on your projector, drop the screen, dim the lights, start the movie and even turn on the popcorn maker, all from the touch of one button.

With the Kisto System Controller at the heart of your home entertainment system, controlling your system is simple. Partner Kisto with Linn’s latest Kinik control interface and you can operate your system wirelessly from your Pocket PC meaqning you can access and control your audio and video sources from the comfort of your armchair.

Kisto from Linn gives outstanding audio performance from stereo or surround-sound music, making the most of your CD music collection and bringing you the benefit of improved sound quality from all high-resolution music formats such as Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio.

Supporting stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 processing, the Linn Kinos is also the perfect solution for the finest home-theatre systems. It precisely decodes and processes a comprehensive range of surround-sound formats, including:-

• Dolby Digital 5.1,
• Dolby Digital EX,
• Dolby Pro Logic II,
• AAC Surround, MPEG Surround,
• DTS Surround, DTS 96/24,
• DTS CD, DTS ES Matrix and Discrete and DTS Neo:6.

The Linn Kisto supports both PAL and NTSC and Composite, Component (YPbPr), RGB and S-Video.

When Linn's Kisto is used with Linn’s Unidisk multi-format disc players, an RS232 link can be used to enable automatic pre-selection of the most appropriate decoding algorithm or analogue channels, determined by the disk type being played and saving you any thought about the discs you put in to play.

Unwanted current and noise is removed using balanced audio connectors that feature on the Linn Kistos and provide an optimum connection to the other parts of your system.

Concealed beneath a door on the front of the Linn Kisto is a range of inputs to allow you to quickly connect infrequently used sources such as a video camera to view content through your system allowing for more diversity.

Kisto also benefits from Linn ‘silent power’ delivered by a Linn Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS). Where conventional power supplies operate through the standard audio bandwidth, Linn high-frequency Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) instead convert power at frequencies well outside the audio bandwidth ensuring the audio signal is unaffected by this conversion and all you hear is the music.

Like all Linn pre-amplifiers, Kisto incorporates features Knekt technology which means you can also enjoy music throughout your home as part of a Linn Knekt multi-room system.

For the most involving music and movie experience in your home, Linn Kisto is the perfect partner for Linn’s Unidisk 1.1 multi-format disc player and integrated Aktiv Klimax loudspeaker system.

Kisto is available in a choice of stunning silver or black finishes.
