Your Linn KOLEKTOR

As the name implies we intended the KOLEKTOR to gather together the signals from the ever increasing number of

sound sources, and control them with high quality, direct signal handling and a simple, flexible

control system.

Audio module

The audio module carries the input and output sockets, the audio circuitry, and the power supplies. In all our products we make the audio path as short, simple, and direct as possible. A smaller circuit works better and picks up less noise. The KOLEKTOR audio path contains high-precision solid-state switches and an electronic gain control. The amplification uses low-noise, low-distortion precision operational amplifiers. All the components are surface mounted, keeping the signal path as short as possible and minimising the number of contacts.

A separate headphone amplifier drives high-quality headphones with no compromises to the main audio path.

The precision-equalised, low-noise phono stage is fully integrated and electronically switched, avoiding any mechanical connections in the sensitive phono signal path.
