ABOUT THE AV 505 STEREO
POWER AMPLIFIER
The Linn AV 5105 Stereo Power Amplier is intended for use in high performance
audio and audio/video systems. It combines high output power, ruggedness,
and ease of use with our passion for quality. It draws on years of experience
of designing and making high quality audio power ampliers.
Inside the compact case are two completely independent electrically isolated
channels with fully regulated power supplies giving ‘dual mono’ performance.
The signal path is DC coupled and servo controlled for the lowest distortion,
cleanest, least coloured sound. The output stage is highly derated for cool,
reliable operation, and the protection circuitry protects extensively against
accidents or abuse.
A signal sensing circuit detects the presence of audio above a very low level and
turns on the main power supplies to the amplier, bringing the power amplier
channel from a very low standby power consumption to full operation. It reverts
to the standby condition a few minutes after the input signal disappears. This
is particularly useful in multi-channel surround sound systems.
The AV 5105 accepts the Linn active crossover modules, automatically detecting
their presence and switching them in circuit as soon as they are plugged in.
This makes playback system upgrades easy.
