The Linn Klimax Solo 500 is a compact, high-performance mono amplifier that delivers 500 watts of pure power into 4Ω speakers. It features Linn's proprietary bipolar design, which ensures precise and clean amplification across all frequencies. The amplifier is powered by the Linn Dynamik power supply, which provides ultra-stable, noise-free performance in a small, efficient form factor. Its precision-machined aluminum chassis provides superior heat management and electrical isolation. The Klimax Solo 500 is perfect for both passive stereo setups or multi-amp configurations when combined with Linn's Exakt systems.
Defying conventional thinking, Linn ditched the bulk and inefficiency of traditional amps in favour of a fresh approach when we developed this compact monoblock amplifier — and over two decades of further development have maintained Klimax Solo 500’s enduring popularity.
The discrete bipolar design is unique to Solo 500, and uses Linn's Dynamik switch mode power supply to deliver 500 W of effortless, instant power across the audible band.
Use a pair of Solos for a passive stereo set-up, and add more to multi-amp your speakers or upgrade to a fully Aktiv or Exakt set-up, in conjunction with Klimax Exaktbox.
Patented amp technology combines the speed and precision of monolithic chip with the robustness and smoothness of bi-polar transistors.
Chakra constantly adapts by using a monolithic at low currents and bi-polar transistors at higher levels. It's a unique approach to transition between these technologies, guaranteeing precisely-controlled clean, silent power at all listening levels.
We have been creating our own switch-mode power supplies for decades – to generate stable, low noise power in a compact, cool-running package. This electrical cleanliness is critical to amplifier performance.
Dynamik ensures superb isolation from mains-borne noise, formidable power and responsiveness; clearly outperforming bulky and noisy traditional power supplies.
All Linn power amps are designed to be efficient even when not in use. Auto signal-sensing detects the presence of an audio signal and minimises power consumption by reverting to sleep mode when inactive, while fault detection and protection mechanisms help safeguard your system against short circuit or excessive load damage.
