Linn 360 Exakt Speaker with Organic Dac

The Linn 360 loudspeaker is a masterpiece of audio and design technology that impresses both acoustically and visually. This flagship model sets new standards in sound quality and aesthetics, offering a listening experience of unprecedented clarity and realism.

Outstanding sound quality

The outstanding feature of the Linn 360 is its ability to almost completely eliminate sound coloration and distortion. This ultra-low distortion is achieved through the use of state-of-the-art driver units and amplifier technologies. Thanks to innovative material science and precise manufacturing techniques, the speaker has the lowest audible distortion levels ever. This results in a pure and unadulterated sound image that stands out in both its depth and clarity.

The exceptional design and integrated technologies create a soundstage where the music seems to float in the room. Voices and instruments appear in lifelike size and depth, giving the impression that you are not hearing a pair of speakers, but the music itself in the room.

Optimal radiation properties

The curved shape of the cabinet is not just a design feature, but crucial for the sound quality. The cabinet tapers from bottom to top and the radii of the front are precisely tailored to the needs of each individual driver unit. This special design allows the drivers to radiate sound unhindered in all directions. The result is a consistent tonality, regardless of the listening position in the room. The Linn 360 thus creates a soundstage that perfectly reflects the original recording.

A remarkable design

The Linn 360 is as visually impressive as it is sonically. Its curved housing and precisely machined trim give it an ultra-modern, yet familiar aesthetic. Made from robust 3D laminates, the smooth baffle spans the entire speaker, ensuring not only an elegant look but also optimal acoustic properties.

Special details such as the concentric arches, reminiscent of the grooves on a record, and the chrome-plated tweeter protector with the Linn logo, give the speaker a distinctive touch. These design elements are a tribute to the company's origins and the legendary Sondek LP12 record player that made Linn famous.

The Glasgow and Classic Collection

The Linn 360's finishes underline the importance of heritage and design tradition. The exclusive Glasgow Collection offers dynamic and complex cabinet finishes that celebrate Linn's Scottish heritage. These specially developed finishes play with light and shadow, emphasising the curvy shape of the speaker in a unique way.

For lovers of a more subtle style, the "Classic Collection" offers a monochrome color palette. The timeless elegance of high-gloss black and the minimalist chic of alpine white give the speaker a restrained yet elegant look.

360 Exakt & 360 Passiv with active bass

The Linn 360 loudspeaker is available in two models to suit different home application needs: 360 Exakt and 360 Passive with Active Bass . Both models offer exceptional performance and are designed to provide an immersive listening experience that is as close to a live concert as possible.

360 Exakt – The Integrated Solution

The 360 Exakt variant is operated together with the Klimax DSM: System Hub and offers the most powerful hi-fi solution on the market. Thanks to Linn's groundbreaking and patented Exakt technology , this system ensures precise and authentic music reproduction. With this model you can experience music in a quality that almost comes close to a real live experience - all from the comfort of your own home. The integrated solution reduces the setup to one box and two speakers, which makes the system both space-saving and powerful.

360 Passive with Active Bass – The Component System Solution

For audio enthusiasts who want to put together their hi-fi system from separate components, the 360 Passive with Active Bass variant offers a flexible option. You can combine the 360 Array with an amplifier of your choice and benefit from the impressive performance. This model is also future-proof because it can be upgraded to a complete Linn Exakt system with Klimax Exaktbox and external amplification if required.

Adaptive Bias Control and 360 Array

Both model variants use the completely new 360 Array , which is equipped with the advanced Adaptive Bias Control technology. This technology ensures that the power amplifiers of the high, mid and upper bass drivers are optimized in real time. Adaptive Bias Control eliminates distortion by dynamically adjusting the behavior of the power amplifiers. This means that the sound quality always remains at the highest level, regardless of the type of music, volume or listening situation.

Power DAC technology in the bass system

The bass system of the Linn 360 uses the newly developed Power DAC technology , which ensures a particularly powerful and low-distortion bass. This technology combines the digital-analogue converter (DAC) and the amplifier in a single step, which shortens the signal path and minimizes losses. In conjunction with the powerful woofer chassis, the system produces a precise, deep and distortion-free bass that makes the music not only audible, but also tangible.

Conclusion

With the two model variants of the Linn 360 - Exact and Passive with Active Bass - Linn offers a flexible solution for all hi-fi lovers, regardless of whether they prefer an integrated system or a separate component system. The combination of the latest Adaptive Bias Control and Power DAC technology ensures incomparable sound quality in both variants, which impresses in both the high and low frequency ranges.
