Description
The Linn Klimax Solo 800 Mono Power Amplifier is a high-power mono amplifier with remarkably low distortion and high efficiency. It can drive most speakers optimally under varying conditions. Careful design has resulted in a high signal-to-noise ratio as well as low harmonics and background noise. Linn technologies are used, such as adaptive bias control to provide a stable output under any conditions. Additionally, heat management is good so that the unit will have a long life.
Adaptive bias control
The adaptive bias circuit in the Linn Klimax Solo 800 Mono Power Amplifier is designed to monitor the bias fed to the output transistors at all times. As a result, the ideal bias current is maintained for each of the amplifier's sixteen output transistors. This happens in real time and the control loop will also maintain optimum performance even with temperature variations and dynamic changes in the music. Moreover even changes in component values with age are compensated for.
Great heat management for a long life
The high output power of the Linn Klimax Solo 800 Mono Power Amplifier demands excellent heat management. The 800 Watts into 4 Ohms output, generates lots of heat that can cause components to fail with age. As a result, the amplifier features large surface heatsinks for cool running. There is no need for an internal fan that may generate noise and good linearity is maintained. Even the loudest passages of music do not put an undue strain on the unit.
High-efficiency switch mode power supply
The Linn Klimax Solo 800 Mono Power Amplifier features the all-new Utopik switch-mode power supply. This high-efficiency unit can supply up to 2kW with ease. The precision regulation ensures that even high current demands do not cause large voltage drops. As a result, the speed, and responsiveness are maintained. Moreover, the PSU also compensates for any drops in mains voltage. Notably, an issue with switch mode power supplies can be switching noise. As a result, the Linn Klimax Solo 800 Mono Power Amplifier has a soft switching circuit that prevents any noise spikes from entering the system. The result is a clean and stable output.
Why mono amplifiers?
The best systems separate functionality as much as possible. For the best channel separation mono amplifier units are used. Moreover. Having separate amplifiers, especially high-powered ones, removes any possible source of interference from the high-gain parts of an audio system. Preamps and the like can have very high gain circuits, such as those needed for MC phono cartridges. These can easily pick up hum and noise from amplifier power supplies.
