KLIMAX KONTROL

Dear Customer,

Linn’s KLIMAX KONTROL is a two-channel preamplifier designed for use in high performance multi-amplifier

and multi-channel audio and audio/video systems.The KLIMAX KONTROL follows Linn’s KLIMAX SOLO and

KLIMAXTWIN power amplifiers and,in partnership with them,positions KLIMAX as a family of products that

are without parallel in terms of sound performance and engineering quality.

Each KLIMAX KONTROL preamplifier is unique in its manufacture.The casing of the product is precision

machined from two solid sections of aluminium alloy.Due to the highest quality of machined finishes,it is

often possible to see the grain of the casing.This grain is part of the aluminium alloy’s structure and is

indicative of an exceptional and individual product,finished to the highest standard.

The distinctive product casework also serves to protect and stabilise the internal electronics as well as

forming the heat exchanger to dissipate any heat generated by the preamplifier circuitry.All KLIMAX

products have been designed to be internally compact. This reflects our desire to keep the audio signal

path as short and simple as possible.Applying this approach rigorously results in high density circuitry that

generates and receives the absolute minimum level of electrical noise.

As with other products in the KLIMAX range,the KLIMAX KONTROL preamplifier exemplifies Linn’s

unremitting commitment to exploiting the latest technology in order to produce ever better sounding

products.The unit’s features include Linn’s switch mode power supply and both balanced and unbalanced

inputs and outputs.

We designed this product without compromise in order to bring you as close as possible to the music you

love.We are certain that it will bring you a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction both now and in the years

to come.

Yours faithfully,

TheKLIMAX DesignTeam
