Restricting the air flow by stacking the amplifiers or putting them in an enclosure may increase the operating temperature until the internal fan is switched on. This should only operate when the amplifier is being worked enthusiastically, or has restricted ventilation. If the ventilation is very restricted the amplifier will shut down until its touchable surface has dropped to a safe value. This is to meet international safety regulations, not to protect the circuitry which can operate reliably with the case very uncomfortably hot to touch.

When operating, the fan draws cool air in through the back of the amplifier, and blows it along the heat exchanger until it exits through the front, top and bottom.

The amplifier is fully protected against over heating, but this is only for protection and should never operate in normal use, whatever your ‘normal use’ is. If you only ever listen at moderate level, you may never notice the temperature rise above idling. The high thermal mass of the case absorbs short periods of high power input with a slow and low temperature rise and the natural convection through the heat exchanger transfers this to the air. However, the last thing you want is for your audio system to shut down if you are having a party. So always ensure the installation provides plenty of ventilation.

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.
