FAQ:360 Common

Linn 360 common FAQ's to both PWAB and Exakt variants

The 360 has two 8” bass drive units just like the Klimax 350. How does it produce more bass?

The bass drivers in the 360 loudspeaker have the same surface area but are capable of greater than twice the excursion of the units deployed in the Klimax 350. This means they can move more than twice the amount of air.

This is equivalent to the Klimax 350 with four bass drivers.

What is the Linn Power DAC?

Linn Power DAC is a new amplifier technology specifically designed for bass systems that require high performance, high power, and high efficiency. The Linn Power DAC is a true digital amplifier combining DAC and amplifier into a single process.

At high playback levels the Power DAC reduces distortion by over 10 dB compared to conventional designs.

Is the 360 bass system servo controlled?

No. In 360 we have taken a feed-forward approach.

The response of each bass drive unit is measured, and individual compensation filters are calculated. These filters are then applied in a feed-forward fashion to achieve the same result as the feed-back servo system.

The 360 bass drive units are also far more linear than those previously used, so distortion correction is no longer required.
