Meet a Linn Engineer at House of Linn's Aktiv Weekend, August 14-15 2010. House of Linn demonstrate the range of Linn Aktiv and Linn Passive systems by appointment throughout the year so you can always hear the Aktiv difference at a time to suit you. We are pleased to have a Linn engineer with us for this special weekend and this will be the last opportunity to take advantage of Linn's "Love Your Linn" summer promotion:

Purchasing a new product from the Klimax, Akurate or Majik product ranges before August 17th entitles you to choose either a Dynamik power supply OR a set of Chakra Aktiv cards free of charge. Lavish some love on your Linn Hi-Fi this Summer and prepare to fall in love with your music collection all over again with Linn’s most flexible promotion ever.

Invest in any new Linn product from the Klimax, Akurate or Majik ranges* and instantly transform the performance of your system with the choice of either:

Going Aktiv: pioneered by Linn, enjoyed by customers for over 35 years and available as an upgrade for all Linn loudspeakers.

Linn Dynamik: Linn's latest and most advanced power supply upgrade ever.Dynamik will dramatically improve your listening experience by powering your product more effectively so you hear even more of what matters - the music. Upgrading to Dynamik is the single most effective way to improve the performance of your Linn component.

Why should I go Aktiv?

Going Aktiv is a simple and cost effective way to maximise the performance of your playback system. The performance improvement is so great that it is arguably more significant than upgrading to higher performance loudspeakers in passive configuration.

Almost all Linn loudspeakers can be driven actively with a simple upgrade, whereas the majority of loudspeakers from other manufacturers are passive and where most of the power received by the loudspeaker crossover is wasted and dissipated as heat, and not energy and maximum control of each active drive unit.

Each drive unit is driven directly

When you go Aktiv each individual drive unit in the loudspeaker is powered by its own power amplifier through a mains-powered electronic Aktiv crossover. This ensures that the drive unit gets exactly the information it is meant to have, so the entire audio spectrum is covered, efficiently, seamlessly and accurately with minimum noise and distortion. This improved reproduction makes for a much more musical and therefore enjoyable experience.

In a passive system, a single amplifier powers all of the drive units in the loudspeaker and a passive crossover filter circuit divides the full range music signal into high and low frequencies, e.g. bass, mid and treble frequencies. The limitations to this type of crossover causes interference between the signal and drive units which can absorb, distort or colour the original signal, so the quality of reproduction is lower as a result, and your enjoyment is lessened.

Minimise Cabling Joints and Connectors For Better Sound

In Linn Aktiv systems the amplifiers and the speakers can be mixed and matched and upgraded independently. The Aktiv crossover modules can be integrated within the amplifier, so installation is neater and cabling joints and connectors are minimised. This delivers improved performance as all additional connections have the potential to detract from overall system accuracy and performance.

Simple to install

Linn Aktiv cards can be quickly and easily installed by House of Linn.

All Linn amplifiers contain advanced circuitry which can automatically sense the presence of Linn Aktiv crossover circuits.

Audition the latest product range at House of Linn and hear the difference these upgrades will make to your system.

During the summer we visited Linn Products in Glasgow three times with 30 of our clients. Despite another poor summer this year, we were fortunate to have good weather for our scheduled visits which we arranged with Linn for the last Fridays of June, July and August. We will be arranging further visits for our other clients who were not available this time due to holiday commitments.

A visit to Linn is always a special experience, even for ex-employees like ourselves. It serves as a reminder of how much attention to detail Linn invest in every aspect of product development, manufacturing and customer service.

As we are a relatively new business, (House of Linn is now just two years old), we were delighted to be able to invite and greet 30 of our clients who have been with us since our beginning. Many more could not make this trip due to summer vacations.

We will be offering further visits to Linn Products, so anyone who is interested should contact us and will will begin to make a new list for future visits.

Linn Products is located about 20 minutes outside of Glasgow, on a 20 acre rural setting in the beautiful village of Eaglesham.

Customer visits and factory tours have long been a regular activity for Linn and a tour of Linn is always a fresh, interesting and fascinating experience to see how this unique company operates.

After we all donned special white anti-static jackets and anti-static shoe straps, the factory tour guides provided insight to the principal areas of factory activity:

Metalwork Mechanical

Surface Mount

Production and single-stage build

Design Engineering

New Customer demonstration rooms

Linn believe everything can be improved by human interest and attention to detail. So the same person builds, tests, and packs a complete product from start to finish.

This ensures a standard of construction and a sense of pride and involvement that is just not possible on a production line.

They take all the time necessary to ensure every detail is correct. Only then will the person responsible for building the product personally sign their name on the back and pack it for despatch.

Every product can be tracked all the way from that individual to the customer, anywhere in the world.

Linn’s philosophy of making systems that are modular, expandable and upgradeable ensures you can develop your Linn system over a lifetime, gradually improving its performance.

House of Linn customers love music and we look after them. Linn continually improve their products and make it easy for customers to upgrade their systems if they wish.

Because Linn have a commitment to progress through learning, simplification and improvement, they are continually looking for ways to further develop their products, always to the benefit of both new and existing customers.

We were therefore excited to see and preview the new Dynamik power supply from metalwork through to listening and as another example of making the Linn you already own, sound even better!

Photo: Metal Work casings machined for new Dynamik Power Supplies

All aspects of Linn’s products are designed in-house. All key processes, from casting molten metal and machining precision components to manufacturing advanced and complex electronic circuits, are controlled by Linn people.

The ability to design a module in the morning and test it in manufacturing in the afternoon enables swift problem resolution. It means new breakthroughs or improvements can be implemented quickly across the product range.

The freedom and independence this creates have enabled Linn to make an astonishing commitment to sound quality. An organisation that puts customers first completes a truly integrated capability.

Our special thanks to Ivor Tiefenbrun MBE, Executive Chairman, and Gilad Tiefenbrun, Managing Director, for hosting the entertaining lunchtimes during our visits and to David Williamson and Keith Robertson for insightful product presentations.

As we all had the special previews of the new Dynamik Power Supplies, sneaking more from the Design Engineering department was almost impossible as we approached the desks of our engineering colleagues to pick their brains about what is new....

We will be arranging further visits to Linn Products, so those interested should contact us and will will begin to make a new list for future visits.

The name Radikal conveys the extent of the performance improvement and is formed by combining the first part of the words Radius and Calibrate – of course, it wouldn’t be Linn if Linn didn’t sneak a ‘K’ in there! The name Urika comes from Linn's ‘Eureka’ moment during development and discovering that the phono stage could be installed inside the turntable and dramatically improve the performance.

Simply the biggest performance improvement from an LP12 upgrade ever. The new Linn Radikal Motor Control Unit (MCU) and Linn Urika Phono Stage elevate the performance of Linn's flagship Sondek LP12 turntable to such a high level, both products immediately assume their place within the coveted LP12 SE series, which now represents a new pinnacle of turntable performance. These upgrades offer a completely different way of powering and amplifying the LP12 turntable by retrieving and protecting the source signal to a far greater degree than ever before.

Linn Radikal Motor Control Unit & DC Motor offers a new level of accuracy, as well as radically reduced electrical and mechanical noise: • on-board speed management system auto-calibrates the turntable for accurate motor speed control (using technology from Klimax DS), and requires no manual speed adjustment • new brushed DC motor with very low magnetic field and electrical noise, in a machined housing designed to reduce vibration and resonance • Motor Control Unit encased in an elegant and timeless Linn chassis (black / silver) • Motor Control Unit also available in a machined-from-solid aluminium chassis to match a Klimax system if required

Linn Urika Phono Stage is positioned in the best possible place - inside the deck, greatly reducing the signal path, minimising the loss of information from the cartridge and maximising performance: • located inside the plinth (mounted on a Trampolin) for the shortest possible signal path • new screened T-Kable, directly soldered to the phono stage, delivers improved signal to noise ratio • flexibility of new T-Kable enables suspension to work more effectively without interference and simplifies set-up • dual mono phono design provides dedicated circuitry for each channel to minimise cross-talk • powered by the Linn Radikal Motor Control Unit
