Overview
Introducing the Klimax Exakt 350 speaker system, engineered with Linn's innovative Exakt technology. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the Klimax Exakt 350 delivers both power and precision. Its servo-driven bass system, coupled with the Linn 3K driver array and onboard amplifiers totaling 3,000 W, combine seamlessly with Exakt technology to produce unparalleled audio quality. Integrated within each speaker is a specially designed module housing powerful amplifiers and Exakt electronics, optimizing performance without the need for multiple separate hi-fi components. The Klimax Exakt 350 speaker features advanced power supply intelligence, consuming less than 0.005W in sleep mode, 70W/channel during quiet playback, and an average of 250W/channel during maximum output. Each speaker includes two large Dynamik regulated switch-mode power supplies and six Class A/B linear Chakra amplifiers. Amplifiers are rated for 4ohm drivers, with varying power outputs: 100W for treble units, 400W for midrange, and 1000W for bass (limited to 750W for safety). This ensures ample dynamic headroom, with the equivalent power output exceeding 2,000W per channel for passive speakers. The Klimax Exakt 350 is designed for serious high-end performance. Linn's vertical driver array in the Klimax Exakt 350 utilizes a die-cast alloy module for its three upper frequency drivers: 75mm and 25mm polyurethane polymer domes, plus a 13mm silk dome. This design minimizes diffraction and cavity resonances, promoting free-space operation across its frequency range (350Hz - 33kHz) for improved power response. The speaker operates across five frequency spans, enhancing off-axis response. Credit for the design goes to Phil Budd, who aimed to create a fully phase-linear loudspeaker. The compact enclosure (50 liters) houses twin 200mm bass units with large linear throw, thanks to Linn's bass servo technology. The active rear module, detachable for service or upgrade, features extensive revisions derived from previous models, carefully mounted to avoid vibration issues.
Complementing the speakers is the Klimax Exakt DSM player, meticulously crafted from solid aluminum to provide superior mechanical and electrical isolation for optimal audio performance. With support for a wide range of digital formats and seamless integration with streaming services like Tidal and Qobuz, the Klimax Exakt DSM ensures that every musical performance is faithfully transmitted to the speakers via Linn's Exakt Link lossless connection. Additionally, the Klimax Exakt DSM features multiple inputs, accommodating various audio sources, including turntables. With its advanced features and seamless integration, the Klimax Exakt system offers outstanding clarity and fidelity
