Aktiv now known as Exakt

An Exakt system refers to a Linn audio system where the loudspeaker’s internal passive crossover is bypassed, and an active crossover is used. In a Linn system, these active crossovers take the form of modules which are fitted to the amplifiers internally and allow the signal to be filtered immediately before the amplification stage. An Aktiv system is significantly more efficient than a passive system and results in more accurate amplitude, phase, and time response. The flexibility of an Aktiv system also enables the system to be tuned to suit the room. The result of an upgrade to Exakt will be, quite simply, a breathtaking improvement in sound quality.

Please note – only an authorised Linn retailer should convert your system to Exakt - inexpert conversion could result in damage to the amplifiers and/or loudspeakers.
