Linn
Akubarik
Fully integrated Aktiv loudspeaker with built-in Exakt technology and an Isobarik bass system
Integrated, intelligent and inimitable
Akubarik will reignite your passion for music with startling clarity, impeccable timing and impactful bass that belies its medium size.
Linn had a clear goal in mind for the design of Akubarik: to take the elegance, precision and performance of its' flagship range, and package it into a more compact enclosure, suitable for any size of room.
The simplicity of the design brief is reflected in the refinement of the curved cabinet, but look beneath the surface and you'll discover just how much proprietary Linn technology has been packed into this unique speaker to produce its outstanding performance characteristics.
Fed by a single network cable from any Exakt-compatible Linn DSM player, the on-board Exakt digital crossover in each speaker delivers five independently controlled channels, each with its own dedicated volume control, Katalyst DAC and power amplifier.
The Linn 3K driver array then delivers fantastically clear mid- and high-frequencies throughout your room, while an integrated Isobarik bass system delivers power and musicality in the lowest frequencies negating the need for an overall larger speaker or separate subwoofers.
Precisely Crafted Cabinets
Linn’s speaker cabinets combine master craftsmanship with
advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to produce beautiful,
high performance acoustic enclosures. The complex laminated cabinet construction is pressure-formed to producethe distinctive curved design while providing an exceptionally rigid
shell for the drive units to operate with minimised resonance. Carefully
placed internal bracing provides added rigidity and an acoustically
inert enclosure for stable mounting of the drive units.
3k Driver Array
Three drive units — mid, tweeter and super-tweeter — are housed in a single rigid, die-cast chassis.
Integrated Exakt Modules
These integrated speakers have amplifiers and Exakt electronics on-board, delivering incredible performance in an elegant package. Built-in to the rear of the speaker is an intelligent, networked module that's suspension-mounted to acoustically isolate it from the cabinet.
Connected to a Linn network music player using Exakt Link, the module is
fed a digital signal, which is split by the Exakt digital crossover
into the precise frequencies required for each drive unit. Exakt’s
powerful processing ensures the perfect time alignment of every
frequency played by each drive unit, preserving the precise sound of
every instrument.
Isobarik Bass
A depth of bass normally associated with much larger speakers.
By using two bass drive units working in tandem, positioned face-to-face
at the foot of the speaker, bass is directed downwards and radiates out
from the speaker through a precisely engineered air gap above the solid
machined base.
Space Optimisation
Using sophisticated acoustic modelling, Space Optimisation builds a complete picture of how your speakers, their placement, and the unique characteristics of your room interact to affect the sound you hear.
By removing the unwanted distorting effects of your listening environment, it reveals the true sound of the music. Now you can place your speakers exactly where you want them and still enjoy great performance.
Katalyst
Our Katalyst DAC Architecture performs digital-to-analogue conversion with greater precision than ever. Katalyst delivers our best digital-to-analogue-conversion by controlling the critical elements that lie at the heart of the analogue signal's creation.
Exakt
Until now, no speaker system has ever been able to synchronise all the elements that make up every note, including all the harmonics. Exakt ensures the perfect time alignment of every part of every note, so now you can enjoy the same sound that was recorded by the artist.
