ARTIKULAT Loudspeaker System
Owner’s Manual
English Introduction
Advanced cabinet properties
(All models)
As well as presenting an elegant, contemporary and dynamic look, with its graceful,
curved design; the arched shape maximises the overall strength and rigidity of the
enclosure and optimises the internal acoustic properties of the cabinet.
The complex, pressure-formed natural laminate material, exquisitely finished with a real
wood veneer provides the perfect combination of strength, flexibility, durability, sonic
performance and a natural, beautiful finish.
Dual 8" (20cm) bass drivers
(ARTIKULAT 350A and 350)
The inclusion of two of these highly powerful,
yet extremely precise lower-bass drive units
provides a depth and quality of bass response
that would otherwise necessitate a much
larger enclosure. Each of these drive units has
been specifically tuned to provide defined,
musical control across the entire lower-bass
frequency range.
Servo-controlled bass drivers
(ARTIKULAT 350A, 350, 340A and 340)
The movement of the principal bass driver(s)
is constantly monitored by an accelerometer -
a very accurate motion sensor, which is
mounted on the voice coil of the driver. The
resulting control data is then fed back to the
servo circuitry, where it is compared with the
drive unit's input signal, effectively fine-
tuning the bass response in real-time to allow it to overcome any non-linearity of the
driver and compensate for variations in environmental conditions. The end result is an
output that is as true as possible to the original source material.
Servo-control, combined with Linn AKTIV crossovers provide the most precise levels of
bass playback in any listening environment.
High quality 6.5" (16.5 cm) sandwich-cone bass drive unit
(ARTIKULAT 350A, 350, 320A and 320)
Layered cone design delivers precise, musical bass.

Magnetic shielding
(All models)

mobile communications device, all of the loudspeakers within the ARTIKULAT system
are magnetically shielded.
