TECHNICAL NOTE
The KANs use the same ceramic domed tweeter as our top-of-the-
range KELTIK loudspeakers and a custom made bass/midrange driver.
This custom designed driver has a strong die-cast chassis, a woven
GlassFiber cone and a massive magnet which gives it well controlled
and extended bass with high-efficiency. High-temperature adhesives
and voice coil contribute towards the substantial power-handling
ability of the KANs. A secondary magnet mounted directly behind the
primary unit focuses the magnetic field and increases its strength
around the voice coil. This allows the KANs to be used close to
television sets without risk of distorting the picture.
The cabinet is built in the Linn tradition; extremely solidly with a
particularly thick front baffle. The cabinet is small, rigid and free of
any significant boxy colourations. The drive units are fixed using
high-torque inserts, and the cabinet is carefully sealed. Bass response
is extended by a carefully designed and damped port, located at the
rear of the speaker, to avoid unwanted interactions with the main
driver. The crossover, which has been designed to present an easy
load to the amplifier, uses high-specification components and is
connected using heavy gauge cable to the speaker input sockets for
optimum signal integrity.
