Klimax Solo 800 - Ultimate Accuracy. Ultimate Consistency. Ultimate Efficiency.



Klimax Solo 800

Ultimate Accuracy. Ultimate Consistency. Ultimate Efficiency.


With Klimax Solo 800, Linn has created a superior-performance amplifier which can drive any given speaker optimally – under any conditions. To achieve this, Linn’s electronic engineers returned to first principles with their crosshairs trained on ‘consistency’ and ‘accuracy’ – because consistency and accuracy are key to pure, unadulterated, power amp performance. Klimax Solo 800 features novel and Linn-original technologies which combine to produce staggeringly low distortion measurements, with superb signal-to-noise ratioand incredible efficiency. Linn’s unique combination of digital and analogue expertise has allowed them to optimise and linearise every internal stage of this amplifier to consistently produce exceedingly high performance. As a whole, it is the epitome of efficient, consistent, and accurate circuitry design; and it measurably outperforms larger rivals.

 

 

Utopik for Klimax Solo 800

Linn’s all-new, Utopik switch-mode power supply topology for Klimax Solo 800 boasts precision-regulated power rails. It provides the best of both worlds, generating 2kW maximum power output whilst retaining speed, responsiveness and consummate efficiency. It maintains extremely steady output voltage; the rails perform consistently in the face of dramatic loading changes. What’s more, if the mains input varies, the output won’t – remaining stable and ultra-pure at all times. With Utopik for Klimax Solo 800, Linn has progressed a step further to minimise switching noise and improve efficiency by utilising a technique called ‘soft-switching’; a resonant tank circuit ensures that voltage across the switch falls to zero before the switch is thrown. Thanks to soft-switching, Utopik for Klimax Solo 800 is cleaner, more efficient, and remains whisper-quiet over the full range of operating conditions.

 

Adaptive Bias Control

Klimax Solo 800 features Linn’s original Adaptive Bias Control technology. With it, the ideal bias current for each of the amp’s sixteen output transistors is established dynamically and in real-time by measuring, sampling and digitising the current supplied to them. A digital control loop then implements and persistently adjusts this optimum bias current for each individual transistor specifically; negating crossover distortion at any temperature – regardless of volume or demanding dynamic changes in music – for the entirety of the amp’s life.

 

Cool-Running

Klimax Solo 800 features superb heat management; driving the most difficult of loads without compromising linearity or resorting to an internal fan. Excellent heat coupling is achieved by mounting the amplifier and power supply circuitry directly to the critically efficient, large surface area heatsinks. This cool running design is key to delivering exceptional clarity right up to 800W into 4Ω, and 1.2kW into 2Ω. Temperature is minimised within the amp, ensuring that the properties of its internal components remain consistent during even the loudest and most demanding passages of music. It maintains consistency, efficiency and longevity at all times.

Linn Klimax Solo

Effortless power from the ultimate monoblock amplifier, power amps don't get any better than this. Defying conventional thinking, Linn ditched the bulk and inefficiency of traditional amps in favour of a fresh approach when they developed their reference monoblock amplifier — and nearly two decades of continuous development have kept the Solo at the top of the tree.

The discrete bipolar design is unique to the Solo and uses Linn's famous Dynamik switch mode power supply to deliver 500 W of effortless, instant power across the entire frequency range.

Combine two Solos for truly exceptional stereo amplification or build the ultimate music system using individual Solos for each loudspeaker drive unit in a fully Aktiv set-up, connected to Klimax Exaktboxes.

Linn Klimax Chakra Twin

A recipe for stereo perfection, two channels of Linn's patented Chakra amplification, a machined-from-solid enclosure, and a Dynamik Power Supply make this Linn's highest performing stereo amplifier. In fact, only a pair of Klimax Solos can power your system more effortlessly.

Just like the Solo, the Twin uses a machined-from-solid enclosure not only to look good, but also to provide electrical and mechanical isolation between the audio and power supply boards. The Chakra topology offers significantly increased power, reliability and efficiency, with less heat and distortion than conventional designs.

Use one Twin for a passive stereo set-up, and add more Twins to multi-amp your speakers or upgrade to a fully Aktiv set-up, connected to Klimax Exaktboxes.

Start simple then upgrade

Let your music system grow and evolve. Choose your performance level and power, start with two channels then upgrade from there.

Adding extra channels of amplification is a great way of upgrading your system's performance, whether you're simply bi-amping your speakers or using a channel per drive unit for the ultimate upgrade with Exakt.

Chakra Technology

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.

Powered by Linn Dynamik

Linn developed their own switch-mode power supply to generate stable, low noise power rails in a compact, cool-running package -critical to the performance of an amp.

Dynamik is the latest evolution, with higher mains noise isolation, more power and faster response; clearly outperforming bulky and noisy conventional 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.
