Akubarik

€0.00

Integrated, intelligent and inimitable

Linn's objective in designing the Akubarik was crystal clear: to capture the elegance, precision, and performance of our flagship range and present it in a more compact enclosure, suitable for rooms of any size.

The simplicity of the design concept is evident in the sleek curves of the cabinet, but beneath the surface lies a wealth of exclusive Linn technology meticulously incorporated into this extraordinary speaker, resulting in its exceptional performance characteristics.

Utilizing a single network cable from any Exakt-compatible Linn DSM player, each speaker is equipped with an on-board Exakt digital crossover that delivers five channels, each independently controlled with dedicated volume control, Katalyst DAC, and power amplifier.

The Linn 3K driver array ensures remarkable clarity in the mid and high frequencies throughout your listening space, while the integrated Isobarik bass system generates potent and musical bass frequencies, eliminating the need for larger speakers or separate subwoofers.

The Akubarik reignites your love for music with astonishing clarity, impeccable timing, and impactful bass that defies its compact size.

To truly appreciate the Akubarik loudspeakers, you must hear them for yourself. Book a demo today for a complimentary personalized listening session and witness the wonders of Akubarik firsthand.

Technology


Each Linn speaker contains features and technology developed by our engineers across years of industry-leading research and development.


  • Space Optimization eliminates the undesirable distortions caused by your listening surroundings, unveiling the authentic essence of the music's sound. Regardless of the speakers employed or the room's layout, you will experience a customized optimized performance catered specifically to you.

  • With unprecedented precision, our Katalyst DAC Architecture executes digital-to-analog conversion to an exceptional degree. By meticulously controlling the essential elements crucial to the creation of the analog signal, Katalyst delivers the pinnacle of digital-to-analog conversion performance.

  • Incorporating Exakt technology into our systems guarantees impeccable synchronization of each component of every musical note, enabling you to relish the exact, precise sound captured by the artist during recording.

 


What is Katalyst?

Katalyst DAC Architecture unlocks an unprecedented level of precision in the conversion of digital to analog, providing you with profound insights into your music.

With the integration of Katalyst, we have achieved the epitome of performance by harnessing exceptional third-party chipsets known for their reliability and excellence.

Through meticulous optimization of critical DAC processes, we have crafted a refined environment that encompasses data optimization, a remarkably accurate master clock, independent power supplies, a low-distortion output driver, and most notably, a highly stable reference voltage level.

The significance of the latter cannot be overstated. Even the slightest fluctuations in the reference level during the delicate creation of the analog audio signal can irreversibly impair the music, resulting in unwanted distortion or noise.

By employing Katalyst's high-stability input reference level, we effectively eliminate variations that could compromise the creation of the analog signal, allowing you to delve deeper into your music with unparalleled clarity and fidelity, just as the artist intended.

Features


Every Linn speaker has been designed and built to include features guaranteeing sound quality of the highest standard without compromising on the style and elegance you expect for your home.


  • Leveraging expert artistry, cutting-edge materials, and advanced manufacturing techniques, Linn's speaker cabinets are meticulously crafted to create stunning and acoustically superior enclosures, delivering exceptional performance.

    The intricate process of laminated cabinet construction involves pressure-forming to achieve the unique curved design, resulting in an exceptionally sturdy structure that minimizes resonance and facilitates optimal operation of the drive units. Strategic placement of internal bracing enhances rigidity and creates an acoustically inert enclosure, ensuring stable mounting of the drive units.

  • Within our integrated speakers, amplifiers and Exakt electronics are seamlessly incorporated, resulting in a remarkable performance encapsulated within an elegant package.

    In the rear section of the speaker, there exists a sophisticated, networked module that is meticulously suspended to achieve acoustic isolation from the cabinet. This module is intelligently connected to a Linn network music player via Exakt Link, receiving a digital signal that is then skillfully divided by the Exakt digital crossover into exact frequencies tailored for each individual drive unit. Leveraging the immense processing capability of Exakt, this system guarantees impeccable time alignment of every frequency produced by each drive unit, faithfully preserving the precise sound characteristics of each instrument.

  • Within a single robust, die-cast chassis, three drive units comprising a mid-range driver, a tweeter, and a super-tweeter are elegantly contained.

    Through the reduction of the distance between drive units, a singular sound source is achieved, resulting in the creation of an exceptionally wide dispersion pattern. This, combined with the acoustic "skoop," ensures precise and consistent high-frequency performance throughout the room.

  • Unleashing a depth of bass typically associated with speakers of significantly larger size.

    Through the strategic implementation of two bass drive units arranged in a face-to-face configuration at the bottom of the speaker, bass frequencies are skillfully directed downwards and emanate outward from the speaker. This controlled dispersion is achieved through a meticulously designed air gap positioned above the solid machined base.
