Compact and customisable with breathtaking musicality; finally a high performance music system you can personalise to complement your home.
The 520 speakers provide a far bigger performance than their discreet dimensions would imply. Together with the Selekt System Hub, the 520 system will stream all your digital music in stunning Linn quality, while also letting you connect all your other music sources.
Enjoy all the musicality and finesse of an integrated Linn speaker packed with technology, in our most compact design yet.
Customise the look and place them where they fit best in your room; Space Optimisation+ takes care of optimising the sound for your room's characteristics and chosen speaker location.
Power and intelligence built-in
Linn's innovative integrated speakers have power and intelligence built-in. A specially designed module, suspension-mounted on the back of each speaker, houses the powerful amps and Exakt electronics that optimise performance. Now you don't need lots of hi-fi separates to make great sound.
Learn moreStream all your favourite music from the cloud or over your own home network and hear it in exceptional quality. Selekt System Hub will handle everything from Studio Master downloads to TIDAL streaming or internet radio and includes all the inputs you'll need to connect all your music sources, from TV to turntable, and make them sound better too.
Every element of Selekt System Hub is precision engineered for the most authentic musical performance possible. Designed to be seen as well as heard, the combination of a jewel-like dial and customisable smart buttons will revolutionise your interaction with digital music.
Perfect streaming to your speakers
Featuring Linn's streaming technology and a range of inputs to connect anything in your living room, every musical performance is perfectly transmitted to the speakers using Linn's Exakt Link lossless connection.
Selekt System Hub is designed for use in a Linn system with Exakt technology and is the perfect choice for those seeking an all-Linn performance solution from the outset.
Each Linn product contains features and technology developed by our engineers across years of industry-leading research and development.
Using sophisticated acoustic modelling, Space Optimisation builds a complete picture of how your speakers, their placement, and the unique characteristics of your room interact to affect the sound you hear.
By removing the unwanted distorting effects of your listening environment, it reveals the true sound of the music. Now you can place your speakers exactly where you want them and still enjoy great performance.
Learn moreUntil now, no speaker system has ever been able to synchronise all the elements that make up every note, including all the harmonics. Exakt ensures the perfect time alignment of every part of every note, so now you can enjoy the same sound that was recorded by the artist.
Learn moreEvery Linn speaker has been designed and built to include features guaranteeing sound quality of the highest standard without compromising on the style and elegance you expect for your home.
Each speaker has a module suspension-mounted on the back to acoustically isolate it from the cabinet. Packed inside are all the Exakt electronics and powerful amps needed to deliver the natural, effortless sound. Cooling is performed passively without any noisy fans, via the aluminium heat sink hidden behind the Linn Fabrik. Providing power and precision without any extra boxes, it’s our neatest integrated speaker design to date.
Each speaker has a dedicated digital crossover, volume control, digital-to-analogue converter and amplifier for every drive unit. So where are all the extra boxes and cables? That’s where Linn’s expertise in integrated speaker design comes in.
For Series 5, we used a layered composite of 3 mm sheets. Using multiple thin layers actually increases the tensile strength and therefore rigidity of the material, while still preserving its acoustically dead properties. Combined with the braced construction, this results in a cabinet that doesn’t add unwanted vibrations and doesn’t ring, but does give the drive units an incredibly stable platform to work from.
The foundation of any good speaker design is an enclosure that lets the drive units work with maximum efficiency, without colouring the sound.
Learn moreThe unique arrangement of tweeter and bass/mid driver on both models required customised drive units. The bass/mid driver uses a unique doped, dual-layer, sliced cone design and an anti-resonant chamber on the back of the high quality tweeter improves high frequency performance when used in conjunction with the familiar Linn ‘skoop’, producing outstanding dispersion characteristics.
The ambitious design of Series 5 led to a unique set of requirements for the drive units that couldn’t be met by any existing specification.
Linn's unique Exakt technology models the effects of each Fabrik’s characteristics on the frequency and phase response of every drive unit in the speakers. Exakt's digital crossover eliminates any unwanted distorting effects to ensure that no matter which Fabrik you choose, your speakers will produce the same breathtaking performance we designed here in the factory.
To offer the unique style and customisation possibilities of Series 5, without affecting the performance, we came up with a new way to finish speakers — Linn Fabrik.
