The AKURATE system

At Linn, we recognise that the way people access sound is changing. Entertainment systems are becoming ever more integrated and the line between music and movie systems is no longer clear. As the popularity of new and improved hi-resolution music formats increases, multi-channel systems are no longer for the movie enthusiast only.

As we change the way we access sound, the equipment we use to relay that sound must also change. A modern loudspeaker must offer greater levels of flexibility, reproduce a wider range of sounds and playback at a higher resolution to truly communicate the full potential of the system. The loudspeaker communicating the awesome force of an explosion in a movie blockbuster must be subtle enough to replay the tone and emotion of the softest female jazz vocal.

With this in mind, Linn presents AKURATE - a system of complementary loudspeakers, visually and sonically designed to achieve seamless multi-channel performance.

AKURATE 242 – A five-way, bass reflex, floorstanding loudspeaker, precision engineered for use in medium to large sized listening areas. The AKURATE 242 speaker incorporates dual 6 1/2” (16.5 cm) drivers mounted vertically for controlled, tuneful and extended bass performance.

AKURATE 212 – A compact, high-performance, four-way, bass reflex, bookshelf loudspeaker. It features a single 6 1/2” (16.5 cm) bass driver and is designed for use as a main speaker in smaller rooms or surround channel effects applications. A custom designed stand is available for this model to allow positioning for optimum performance.

AKURATE 225 – A centre channel loudspeaker designed primarily to match the AKURATE 242 speakers. The AKURATE 225 speaker uses the same drive unit complement as the AKURATE 242 speaker and has been tolerance-matched to the other AKURATE loudspeakers to allow seamless system integration. A custom designed stand is available for this model to allow positioning for optimum performance.

AKURATE 221 – Bass extension in the AKURATE system is provided by the powered 221 subwoofer. The unit is driven by a 500 W power amplifier and features an 8” (20.3 cm) servo-controlled driver in a 21-litre enclosure for pure, precise bass response.
