Linn Twin Klimax Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
2. What is it?
The Klimax Twin is a two channel power amplifier designed for use in multi amplifier and multi channel
audio and audio/video systems.The case is precision machined from two solid sections of aluminium alloy.
The machining is done on a computer controlled multi-axis machining centre,with the final cut on the top
face made by a Swiss SIP vertical jig borer,the stability and accuracy of which is unequalled.This compact
but massive case protects and stabilises the internal electronics and forms the heat exchanger to dissipate
the power from the amplifier circuitry.Inside the case are two circuit boards,one on each side of the central
heat exchanger. One circuit board constitutes the power supply,the other the audio circuitry.
The compact form of the Klimax case reflects our intention to keep the audio signal path as short and
simple as possible.This applies as much to a turntable pickup arm as it does to a power amplifier. Applying
this rule rigorously results in high density circuitry which generates and receives the absolute minimum
level of electrical noise.All our previous power amplifiers have been as compact as the available technology
permitted,but in the Klimax Solo we took a significant step forward with the new power supply that makes
the Klimax Twin possible.
