Introduction
At Linn, we recognise that the way people access sound is changing.
Entertainment systems are becoming ever more integrated and the line
between music and movie systems is no longer clear. As the popularity of new
and improved hi-resolution music formats increases, multi-channel systems are
no longer for the movie enthusiast only.
As we change the way we access sound, the equipment we use to relay that
sound must also change. A modern loudspeaker must offer greater levels of
flexibility, reproduce a wider range of sounds and playback at a higher
resolution to truly communicate the full potential of the system. The
loudspeaker communicating the awesome force of an explosion in a movie
blockbuster must be subtle enough to replay the tone and emotion of the
softest female jazz vocal.
With this in mind, Linn presents AKURATE - a system of complementary
loudspeakers, visually and sonically designed to achieve seamless multi-channel
performance.
