Linn Klimax DSM
Next-generation Linn Klimax DSM contains features and technology developed by our engineers across years of industry-leading research and development, including the groundbreaking new Organik DAC.
Organik DAC: the beating heart of Klimax DSM
Designed without compromise and manufactured entirely in-house, the home-grown all-Linn Organik DAC combines FPGA processing with a discrete conversion stage, enabling us to precisely control and optimise every stage of the digital to analogue conversion process for the first time.
Designed and manufactured entirely in-house, Organik DAC is the first ever, all-Linn, digital to analogue converter.
With Organik DAC, Linn handles every element of the digital to analogue conversion process using a combination of FPGA processing and a discrete conversion stage.
These are designed to work together in perfect harmony. They’re precisely controlled and relentlessly optimised for exceptional audio performance.
Organik offers significantly lower noise and distortion, measuring better than anything we’ve achieved before.
Space Optimisation – Your space. The final frontier.
Any music system risks being compromised by the shape of the room it lives in. Until now. Our pioneering Space Optimisation technology removes the unwanted distorting effects of your listening environment to reveal the true sound of the music.
Every room has its own particular sound. When you’re investing in a world-class music system, why let your room have such a big say in what you hear? Remove the unwanted distorting effects of your listening environment and reveal the true sound of the music.
Space Optimisation uses sophisticated acoustic modelling to build up a complete picture of how your speakers, their placement, and the unique characteristics of your room interact to affect the sound you hear. It then precisely identifies frequencies that are artificially distorted by your environment, and reduces their energy, to reveal the music that would otherwise be hidden.
Whatever speakers you use, and however you’ve designed your room, you’ll hear a performance that’s optimised uniquely for you.
All Linn network music players have Space Optimisation built in, and it’s a free software upgrade to all existing owners too.
Exakt
Until now, no speaker system has ever been able to synchronise all the elements that make up every note, including all the harmonics. Exakt ensures the perfect time alignment of every part of every note, so now you can enjoy the same sound that was recorded by the artist.
When you listen to a Linn system, it’s striking just how natural it sounds. It’s as if you’re listening to the real musicians, right there in front of you. The most natural sound available can only be achieved with perfect timing.
When you hear an instrument being played live, the elements that make up every note—including all the harmonics—arrive at your ear at the same time.
Sounds simple, but the fact is that no speaker system has ever been able to synchronise these elements accurately: until now.
Our systems feature Exakt technology, which ensures the perfect time alignment of every part of every note, so now you can enjoy the same natural sound that was recorded by the artist.
