2. What is it?

The Klimax is a single speaker power amplifier designed for use in multi amplifier and multi channel audio and audio/video systems. The case is precision machined from two solid sections of aluminium alloy. The machining is done on a computer controlled multi-axis machining centre, with the final cut on the top face made by a Swiss SIP vertical jig borer, the stability and accuracy of which is unequalled. This compact but massive case protects and stabilises the internal electronics and forms the heat exchanger to dissipate the power from the amplifier circuitry. Inside the case are two circuit boards, one on each side of the central heat exchanger. One circuit board constitutes the power supply, the other the audio circuitry.

The compact form of the Klimax case reflects our intention to keep the audio signal path as short and simple as possible. This applies as much to a turntable pickup arm as it does to a power amplifier. Applying this rule rigorously results in high density circuitry which generates and receives the absolute minimum level of electrical noise. All our previous power amplifiers have been as compact as the available technology permitted, but in the Klimax we have taken a significant step forward with the new power supply that makes the Klimax possible.

500 Solo specifications

The Linn 500 Solo is a high-performance loudspeaker that exemplifies the brand's commitment to audio excellence and innovation. Building on the heritage of Linn's acclaimed speaker systems, the 500 Solo was designed to deliver an immersive sound experience for both music enthusiasts and casual listeners alike.

One of the standout features of the Linn 500 Solo is its active design, which utilizes a dedicated amplifier for each driver. This configuration eliminates the need for passive crossovers, allowing for greater precision in sound reproduction. By amplifying the signal directly at the speaker, the 500 Solo can provide a more accurate and dynamic range, showcasing the subtleties of the music without distortion.

The speaker is equipped with advanced driver technology, including a high-performance bass driver and a specially designed tweeter. The bass driver features a large, lightweight cone that delivers deep, controlled low frequencies, while the tweeter is engineered to reproduce high frequencies with clarity and detail. Together, these drivers create a well-balanced sound signature that is suitable for a wide variety of music genres.

To further enhance sound quality, the Linn 500 Solo incorporates cutting-edge digital signal processing (DSP). This technology allows for real-time adjustments to the audio signal, compensating for room acoustics and ensuring that listeners experience the best possible sound profile, regardless of their environment. The integration of DSP also allows for customizable sound settings, enabling users to tailor their audio experience to their preferences.

The build quality of the Linn 500 Solo is another hallmark of its design. Constructed with rigid cabinet materials, the speaker minimizes resonance and vibration, which can negatively impact sound quality. Additionally, its aesthetically pleasing design is available in various finishes, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any home decor.

Connectivity options are also a strong suit of the 500 Solo, featuring built-in streaming capabilities that support a range of digital audio sources. This functionality allows users to connect wirelessly to their music libraries and streaming services, providing convenience and versatility in audio playback.

In conclusion, the Linn 500 Solo is a remarkable loudspeaker that showcases the brand's dedication to sound quality and innovation. With its active speaker design, advanced driver technology, and customizable digital signal processing, the 500 Solo stands out as a premium choice for audio enthusiasts seeking an exceptional listening experience. Whether used in a dedicated home audio setup or as part of a larger music system, the 500 Solo offers unparalleled performance and style.
