Behind the elegant curves of Akubarik are a host of powerful technologies derived from our flagship Klimax range. Akubarik's bass system fires deep, powerful and controlled bass, while its 3K driver array ensures stunning clarity from mid and high frequencies. Integrated amplification, Katalyst DAC and Exakt technologies work harmoniously together to complete the package.
Power and intelligence built-in
Linn's innovative Exakt Integrated loudspeakers have both power and intelligence built-in. An extruded-aluminium module, suspended on the back of each speaker, houses the some of the best of our in-house technologies to optimise performance and provide deeper insight to your music.
And while every room has its own effect on sound, Akubarik utilises our patented Space Optimisation technology to bring about the best performance based on the acoustic properties of your room and your desired speaker placement. Now you don't need stacks of hi-fi separates to produce astonishing sound quality.

Technology
Each Linn product contains features and technology developed by our engineers across years of industry-leading research and development.
Space Optimisation
Space Optimisation removes the unwanted distorting effects of your listening environment to reveal the true sound of the music. So whatever speakers you use, and however you’ve designed your room, you’ll hear a performance that’s optimised uniquely for you.
Katalyst
Our Katalyst DAC Architecture performs digital-to-analogue conversion with greater precision than ever. Katalyst delivers our best digital-to-analogue-conversion by controlling the critical elements that lie at the heart of the analogue signal's creation.
Exakt
Our systems feature Exakt technology, which ensures the perfect time alignment of every part of every note, so now you can enjoy the same precise sound that was recorded by the artist.
Features
Every 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.
Integrated Exakt Modules
Built-in to the rear of the speaker is an intelligent, networked module that's suspension-mounted to acoustically isolate it from the cabinet. Connected to a Linn network music player using Exakt Link, the module is fed a digital signal, which is split by the Exakt digital crossover into the precise frequencies required for each drive unit. Exakt’s powerful processing ensures the perfect time alignment of every frequency played by each drive unit, preserving the precise sound of every instrument.
Integrated Exakt Modules
Our integrated speakers have amplifiers and Exakt electronics on-board, delivering incredible performance in an elegant package.
Precisely Crafted Cabinets
The complex laminated cabinet construction is pressure-formed to produce the distinctive curved design while providing an exceptionally rigid shell for the drive units to operate with minimised resonance. Carefully placed internal bracing provides added rigidity and an acoustically inert enclosure for stable mounting of the drive units.
Precisely Crafted Cabinets
Linn’s speaker cabinets combine master craftsmanship with advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to produce beautiful, high performance acoustic enclosures.

3k Driver Array
By minimising the distance between drive units, a single-point sound source is created, which together with the acoustic ‘skoop’, produces exceptionally wide dispersion for precise and consistent high frequency performance throughout the room.
3k Driver Array
Three drive units — mid, tweeter and super-tweeter — are housed in a single rigid, die-cast chassis.

Isobarik Bass
By using two bass drive units working in tandem, positioned face-to-face at the foot of the speaker, bass is directed downwards and radiates out from the speaker through a precisely engineered air gap above the solid machined base.
