LINN Klimax 800 Solo: difficult loads are its bread and butter

If you are the owner of speakers with impossible loads, close to short-circuiting, you may find nirvana with this gargantuan mono power amp.

The LINN Klimax Solo 800 is a mono power amplifier with resounding nameplate figures, one of those machines designed for those looking for a no-compromise item designed for those who are budget-conscious. In recent months Audio-2G has already mentioned the LINN Klimax DSM with which, the Solo 800 could form a respectable pairing.

LINN Klimax Solo 800: how to differentiate from the competition

the LINN Klimax Solo 800 is the first “foray” into the world of ultra-high-power amps that can rely on a passive cooling system. Gilad Tiefenbrun, CEO of LINN and his staff have pulled an amplifier out of the hat that promises extremely low distortion rates. We begin with adaptive bias control, which is able to establish the ideal bias current for each of the sixteen (!) output transistors of the amplifier dynamically and in real time by measuring, sampling and digitizing the current supplied to them. Over the lifetime of an amplifier, the bias current can vary due to many factors such as temperature. The LINN Klimax Solo 800 via a digital control circuit continuously implements and adjusts this optimal bias current of each individual transistor, offering distinctly low crossover distortion. The LINN Klimax Solo 800 offers excellent heat dissipation because the power section and power circuit are mounted directly on generously sized heat sinks. This solution is necessary so that the LINN Klimax Solo 800 can safely deliver power in the range of 800 W on 4 Ω and 1.2 kW on 2 Ω.

Utopik power supply

The LINN Solo 800 can rely on theUtopik switching power supply that can generate a maximum power of 2 kW while maintaining perfect speed, responsiveness and efficiency regardless of the type of load. Utopik promises to minimize switching noise and improve efficiency by using the “soft-switching” technique.
