ABOUT THE AV 5105 STEREO

POWER AMPLIFIER

The Linn AV 5105 Stereo Power Amplifier is intended for use in high performance audio and audio/video systems. It combines high output power, ruggedness, and ease of use with our passion for quality. It draws on years of experience of designing and making high quality audio power amplifiers.

Inside the compact case are two completely independent electrically isolated channels with fully regulated power supplies giving ‘dual mono’ performance. The signal path is DC coupled and servo controlled for the lowest distortion, cleanest, least coloured sound. The output stage is highly derated for cool, reliable operation, and the protection circuitry protects extensively against accidents or abuse.

A signal sensing circuit detects the presence of audio above a very low level and turns on the main power supplies to the amplifier, bringing the power amplifier channel from a very low standby power consumption to full operation. It reverts to the standby condition a few minutes after the input signal disappears. This is particularly useful in multi-channel surround sound systems.

The AV 5105 accepts the Linn active crossover modules, automatically detecting their presence and switching them in circuit as soon as they are plugged in. This makes playback system upgrades easy.
