Linn Klimax Solo 500 Mono Power Amplifier

Linn Klimax Solo 500 – Compact high-end monoblock amplifier with revolutionary technology

Small amplifier, big impact:
The Klimax Solo 500 is Linn's latest amplifier innovation and redefines what a compact monoblock amplifier can achieve. Based on the legendary Klimax Solo, the Solo 500 has been redesigned from the ground up—precision-engineered from solid aluminum, technologically groundbreaking yet more beautifully designed than ever before. Despite its compact size, it delivers reference-level sound quality and is a true upgrade to existing systems—whether as a replacement for older Solo models or amplifiers from other brands.

Adaptive Bias Control – Intelligent performance optimization in real time

With Linn's proprietary Adaptive Bias Control, the Solo 500 sets a new standard in Class AB design. This real-time control continuously adjusts the bias voltage of the output transistors for optimal performance – independent of temperature, load, and aging. The result: consistently low distortion , minimal noise floor, and excellent channel balance – lasting and reliable.

Hybrid Cooling Matrix – Silent cooling with full power

The specially developed hybrid cooling matrix with intelligent fan control ensures virtually silent operation and keeps the amplifier at an optimal operating temperature even under maximum load. The cooling system combines passive convection with active airflow via two temperature-controlled fans – for maximum efficiency with minimal noise.

Utopik power supply – Maximum efficiency, minimal heat

The optimized Utopik power supply dynamically regulates power supply as needed, reducing heat generation and energy consumption. It supports the Hybrid Cooling Matrix and ensures the highest audio fidelity with the lowest possible power loss.

Design & workmanship – elegance in perfection

Visually, the Solo 500 impresses with its timeless, minimalist design with a modern "smile," seamless aluminum construction, and stylish LED status indicators. The high-quality workmanship—constructed from three perfectly milled aluminum parts—exudes solidity, value, and technical precision.

An amplifier that sets standards

The Linn Klimax Solo 500 combines sonic excellence, technological innovation, and compact design in a single unit. It's perfect for active speaker systems or installations with limited space, while still offering sufficient power for the most demanding music signals.
