Linn Akurate 242 5-way Floorstanding Loudspekers

The Akurate range consists of four distinct acoustically matched loudspeakers that can be simply configured for high performance stereo and multi-channel music or home theatre applications.

The Akurate range has been designed to do full justice to the highest definition sound and vision formats, such as Studio Master downloads and Super Audio CD.

The full-range models, the 242, 225 and 212 loudspeakers, feature Linn’s 3K Driver Array technology that creates a consistent single point sound source and improves high frequency response. All components used in the 3K Driver Array are tolerance matched to ensure sonic consistency throughout. Sandwich cone 6 1/2 inch bass drive units deliver pure musical bass and the highly braced internal cabinet construction ensures the best possible performance from the advanced drive unit design.

The Akurate 226 bass reinforcement loudspeaker features servo-controlled Chakra amplification and digitally controlled signal processing for flexible configuration options. The 10 inch long-excursion drive unit is constantly monitored and regulated to maintain accurate and musical bass in any listening environment.

High grade real wood veneers are used through and are available in standard (American Cherry, Black Ash, Maple, Rosenut) or special high gloss finishes. Bespoke finishes can also be crafted to perfectly complement any living space.
