Linn 360 PWAB FAQ's
Why is 360 PWAB not a purely passive speaker?
- The compact size of the 360 bass system requires electronic compensation to achieve an extended bass response. This compensation cannot be implemented passively, so active amplification is required.
Why is the bass signal digitized in 360 PWAB?
- The analogue signal supplied to the 360 PWAB is digitized and fed into the new Linn Power DAC.
- The Power DAC has been designed from the ground up to drive the 360 bass system. It offers the lowest distortion and greatest efficiency of any amplifier class for this application.
Why can’t you bypass the internal lower bass amps on 360 PWAB to use Klimax Solos externally?
- The bass extension system in 360 requires an extraordinary amount of power and voltage gain, far more than even the Klimax Solo can provide, so performance would actually suffer if external amplifiers were used.
Do you still require 2x Exaktboxes for an externally Exakt 360 PWAB?
- No. The active bass system contains its own ExaktEngine, so a pair of 360 Arrays (tweeter, midrange and upper-bass) can be driven by a single 6-channel ExaktBox.
