1972years of entrepreneurship

LINN, was born in Glasgow, the capital of Scotland in the north of England. At that time, his father ran a precision machine parts factory, mainly manufacturing flying parts. However, Lvor was not interested in airplanes. He loved music and sound, and was determined to make the best analog phonograph in the world. In 1969, before the establishment of LINN, Aybai had no formal production plant, so she had to ask her father to borrow a corner of the machine parts factory to start making analog turntables. It was only in 72 years that "LINN PRODUCTS Limited" was officially established ".

73, the first product of LINN ejector-[Sondek LP12] turntable, which is a 33.3 turntable without a turntable arm, adopted a belt drive. [LP12] plus the independent power supply part [Lingo] and the singing arm [Ekos] chorus head [Arliv], it becomes a complete analog turntable, which was priced at 70,000 Hong Kong dollars in that year!

LINN, which is famous for its turntable products.

's first debut single-speed turntable, is simple, but because of its particularly pleasant sound, it has instantly swept the world's audio enthusiasts, so it is well-known. LP12 was later improved several times, but it is still the best-selling product of LINN company. Starting from LPL12, LINN's products have a major feature, that is, the appearance design is very simple. Not only is the shape bland, but there are very few buttons on the board, and even the LINN brand has shrunt to a very small size. It seems that you don't want to make too much publicity. Even the introduction brochures of LINN products reflect this style. The font is extremely small, occupying less than half of the area, leaving a large blank space, so that readers have no oppression dare. The same is true of LINN's sound design features. Its products do not have a particularly strong personality, allowing listening to have a larger room for adaptation. This feature, coupled with ingenious marketing skills, has made LINN's products popular in Europe and the United States, and he has gained high praise and fame in the United States. LINN's turntable is indeed very convincing. The company once claimed: [Without LINN turntable, it cannot be heavyis now a real vinyl record]. Although this is somewhat conceited, it also shows that the company has great confidence in its products.

the British royal family's audio brand LINN

The Pompidou Center in Paris, France, the Millennium Egg in London, the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong is his work, the founder of Linn Ivor Tiefenbrun is a civilian aristocrat. In 1992, Dad Ivor was awarded the title of M. B .E. of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen of England, an extremely rare honor in sound circles. Linn provided audio equipment to the Prince of Wales and has received numerous awards from the Queen.

industry well-known fever recording brand LINN Records

Therefore, in 2010, the world-renowned classical music magazine Gramophone awarded Linn the honor of "Record Label of the Year", rewarding their efforts over the years. Because Ivor, the founder of Linn, Tiefenbrun deeply realized that the purpose of audio equipment is to let people enjoy real good music, so he was not willing to make records with sound effects but no musical value.

2007

Hi-Endbrand Linn. The Scottish company, which started with analog turntables, has been launching audio products that are at the forefront of the times with its ability to innovate for more than 40 years. Among them, the contemporary classic is the Klimax DS launched in July 2007. The reference price of this "pure digital music platform" with a price of up to 20000 US dollars was actually completed by using the network architecture as the main body. The brand-new listening concept completely subverted the fever sound industry at that time. You should know that Jobs only released the first generation of Apple mobile phones.

360 Exaktspeaker introduction

360 Exaktspeaker used to be a beautiful arc, but the beautiful drop shape is folded at the end of the speaker box to create a completely streamlined speaker box line, which not only achieves the ideal design of the completely non-parallel surface of the speaker, but also the width of the front baffle of the arc is just slightly wider than the unit, effectively eliminating the interference of panel diffraction.

360music is the central three-tone circuit module. The unit arrangement adopts the midrange, treble and bass modes. The metal frame symbolizing LP12 is added to the outside of the treble unit, which is not only decorative, but also can protect the treble unit. The three units are very close to each other to achieve excellent sound effect of point source. Among them, the treble unit uses a 19mm beryllium diaphragm for treble, the midrange is a tailor-made 64mm carbon fiber woven diaphragm, and the bass is a 190mm aluminum-magnesium alloy diaphragm, which adds up to Linn's so-called 360 Array.

In the bass part, a double 220mm large-diameter long-stroke aluminum alloy diaphragm unit is configured. In order to give full play to the best effect of low frequency, an active design is adopted. Linn calls it Power DAC Technology, which can be matched with Linn's spatial acoustic digital correction to perfectly integrate various listening environments.

the 360 of four-channel design, if you choose 360 Exakt Integrated, it is a complete sound system with Linn top-level Organic DAC architecture and built-in Class AB power module. In addition, Linn's latest research and development Adaptive Bias Control can correct the distortion of any power output in real time. The driving 360 is Array. The bass part is driven Technology Power DAC. Through the Space Optimisation built in 360 Exact Integrated, the speaker can be integrated into all listening spaces.

Linn New Klimax DSM

's flagship Linn New Klimax DSM takes digital streaming playback technology to a new level. New Klimax DSM is the latest achievement accumulated by Linn's nearly 50 years of research and development and experience. It adopts a brand-new and carefully crafted box body and is made of a whole piece of aerospace grade titanium aluminum alloy. It not only provides acoustic isolation and interference, but also is visually elegant and beautiful, with first-class completion and texture.

New Klimax DSMis in the digital-to-analog conversion circuit. Organik DAC replaces the flagship position of Katalyst DAC: in the past, Katalyst DAC processed the digital signal 16 times 768kHz and 35bit Upsampling first, and then sent the signal to AKM AK4497 (top DAC chip) with 32bit for digital-to-analog conversion. However, the "Organik DAC" in New Klimax DSM has no DAC chip at all, the DAC architecture is completely Linn's own design (composed of discrete components).

adopts the structure of upper analog circuit and lower digital circuit, with appropriate isolation in the center to reduce mutual interference. It can be seen from the terminals on the back panel that digital and analog are separated, and there are more input terminals than the previous generation, including HDMI ARC linked with home video equipment. There is also a luminous control knob on the top panel, which can not only adjust the volume, but also press left and right to turn on the equipment catalog setting and switch on and off. The added front panel display screen can also see the playing track information, which is not only convenient but also very beautiful. Linn has developed its own online streaming software Linn App, which can directly log into online music services such as Tidal and Qobuz.
