Selekt DSM: System Hub
Browse your digital music library, stream online music and video, and experience movie and game soundtracks – all rendered in exceptional detail by a Selekt DSM: System Hub. There is the option between two distinct enclosure models – Classic Hub or the luxurious, higher-performance Edition Hub.
Selekt DSM: System Hub features a broad range of digital and analogue inputs, in order to receive, process and expertly deliver audio from any source imaginable. The high-performance, integrated, analogue-to-digital conversion stage accepts anything from turntables to CD players, and a host of digital connections allows connection from video streaming devices, games consoles and Blu-ray players – ensuring you get the best possible sound from anything you connect.
Zero loss and perfect phase
Selekt DSM: System Hub is configured for use in conjunction with Linn’s own integrated Exakt loudspeakers, or 3rd-party loudspeakers via a Linn Exaktbox. Selekt DSM: System Hub is the perfect choice for those seeking an all-Linn performance solution from the outset, incorporating the sonic benefits of our groundbreaking Exakt technology.
Featuring Linn’s industry-leading DS technology, and with up to 24bit/384kHz and DSD256 streaming capability, every last musical detail is transferred to the speakers using our proprietary, lossless Exakt Link connection.
Technology
|
Space Optimisation 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. |
Exakt Until 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.
|
Integrated Exakt Modules 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.
|
Precisely Crafted Cabinets 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.
|
|
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.
|
Linn Fabrik 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. |
Custom-Designed Drive Units The 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. Furthermore, Series 5 needed compact yet very long-throw, low-resonance units for use in the Isobarik bass system. |
