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.
