Linn Magik DSM

Linn Magik DSM – A Premium Music and Movie Experience

After introducing you to Linn’s DS range of music players in last month’s blog posts, we’re now turning our attention to the DSM range. Today, we’ll be looking at the Linn Magik DSM which, unlike its DS cousins, brings you the best of both worlds – music AND movies. Meet the Linn Magik DSM The Linn Magik DSM is a sound superhero as it has the power to handle almost any challenge you set it. Hook it up to your DVD player, digital TV, satellite TV, Blu-Ray player or games console, and it’ll be obvious within seconds that the soundtracks, special effects, and action sequences are far superior to whatever you’ve experienced before. You can also connect the system to your smartphone, tablet or laptop to browse and stream audio files and playlists in unrivalled studio quality. The Linn Magik DSM comes with four HDMI outputs and one HDMI input that allow you to connect the player to external sources, and benefit from the superior DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) and custom Linn up-sampling. The system’s other inputs enable you to connect to sources with Spdif (RCA) and Toslink (optical) digital outputs. Plus, there are Spdif and Toslink outputs that let you link to an external DAC or computer. Space Optimisation Another benefit you’ll get as a Linn Magik DSM owner is the removal of unwanted distortion caused by your listening environment. This is thanks to the player’s built-in Space Optimisation technology, which uses sophisticated acoustic modelling to build up a complete picture of how the unique characteristics of your room, your loudspeakers, and their placement interact. Space Optimisation takes this information and uses it to reduce the energies of frequencies that are artificially distorted by the environment, giving you a powerful, untainted, and uniquely optimised audio performance. Speakers The Magik DSM’s fully integrated pre-amp and power amp mean that the only accessories you’ll require immediately are a pair of speakers. As the first-class audio technology used in the DSM range deserves to be paired with exceptional loudspeakers, we recommend that you consider purchasing the 109, 112, 126, 140 or Isobarik models in the Majik range. Alternatively, you can purchase a complete system, which consists of the Linn Magik DSM and Majik 109 Loudspeakers, and you’ll be all set for a lifetime of memorable music and movie performances. Book a demonstration Our purpose-built Linn Lounges at our Essex and London stores allow you to sample the superb quality of Linn’s DSM players while our expert team advise you on how to create or set up the perfect system for your needs. Demonstrations can be booked via phone (Essex: 01277 890 888 or London: 020 7454 1234) or online contact form between the hours of 9am and 9pm Mon-Fri and 9am and 6pm Sat-Sun.

Linn Klimax DS

Linn Klimax DS – The Epitome of Audio Perfection

This month, we’re showcasing the Linn DS range of digital music players, which currently include Akurate, Majik, Klimax, and Sneaky. Last week, we took a closer look at the Akurate DS (you can read all about it in this blog post), and this week, it’s the turn of the Klimax DS to take centre stage. Linn’s DS music players are known throughout the world for their first-class performance, and here at Rococo Systems, we know their capabilities inside and out. Once you’ve connected your chosen player to your home network, you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy listening to your favourite CDs, music downloads, and internet radio channels in studio quality. Linn Klimax DS The Linn Klimax DS was Linn’s first ever DS player, and it still sets a high bar for other networked music players. It enables you to stream digital music over your standard home network and delivers an uncompromising audio performance thanks to its well-earned place at the top of the Linn DS range. The Klimax DS is the perfect companion for your existing separates system. However, you can also connect it directly to Linn’s Klimax 350A or 350P speakers. Plus, you can connect it to any games, movie or audio source using its digital and analogue outputs to produce an incredible sound experience. You’ll see internet radio and online music services such as iTunes and Spotify in a whole, new light when you experience them using the Linn Songcast app on this world-class digital music player. You can even browse your personal music library via a tablet or iPad and compile playlists featuring your favourite tracks. Through the use of Linn’s built-in Space Optimisation technology, you’ll only hear the music you want to listen to, not the unwanted effects caused by the layout of your room. In fact, Linn is so confident you’ll be thrilled with the perfect performance of your Klimax DS player that it’s included a five-year warranty in the purchase price. Pair up your player with Klimax speakers for the ultimate performance The sculpted cabinets of Linn Klimax 350 speakers house six channels of Linn’s patented Chakra amplification, which results in less visible cables and superior audio quality. Each cabinet is finished by hand and can be purchased in a range of finishes to ensure a perfect match with your home décor.

UK Linn Knekt Servicing, Repairs, and Upgrade Specialists

If you’re as passionate about high-quality audio equipment as we are, you’ll no doubt be aware that the Linn Knekt system is Scottish-based manufacturer Linn’s original multi-room audio distribution system. This iconic piece of technology helped pave the way for today’s Linn systems that we know and love today, and inspired other manufacturers to create similar systems of a lesser quality. When Linn launched its Majik DS-I in 2010, the Knekt system was sadly retired. The Majik DS-I, which was in turn replaced by the Majik DSM, was Linn’s first digital stream player to boast an integrated pre-amplifier that allowed connected audio components (such as CD players, turntables, and radio tuners) to be streamed onto a home network, and enjoyed throughout the house. Following its premature retirement, many Linn Knekt owners chose to keep their existing and treasured systems rather than upgrade to a new one. This is likely to be because Linn’s world-class design and manufacturing processes mean that every product they make is built to last. Does your Linn Knekt need servicing or repairs? If you’re one such owner who lives near one of our stores in Essex and London or anywhere else in the UK for that matter, we can help you extend the lifespan, as well as enhance the capabilities of your system even further. Perhaps, you’ve purchased a house or apartment with a pre-installed Linn Knekt system and are unsure what to do when it needs servicing or repairs? With our assistance, you won’t have to continue missing out on one of the world’s best audio systems. Our company has been installing, performing repairs, and servicing Linn’s multi-room systems for more than twenty years, and we know the Linn Knekt system inside out. In fact, we’re one of Linn’s few UK specialists, and while our showrooms are physically based in Essex (Ongar) and London (Danbury Street, N1), we regularly serve customers from all across the UK. Upgrade or trade in your old Knekt Thanks to Rococo Systems, your time and investment needn’t go to waste. We can help integrate one of Linn’s DS players into existing Knekts, with the exception of the Majik and Sekrit DSI, which have their own built-in pre-amplifiers. We can also help you upgrade to a current Linn audio system when you trade in your existing components. Our team of experts will be happy to demonstrate our extensive range of products in-store or offer you advice over the phone in order to help you make an informed decision. Find out more about servicing and repairs or how to upgrade and trade in today! At Rococo Systems, we do a whole lot more than just high-end audio equipment sales, servicing and repairs. We can also help you build your dream audio system from the ground up using our technical expertise and design skills. Contact Rococo Systems online or visit our London or Essex store in person at Moreton Road, Ongar, Essex, CM5 0LU (01277 890 888) / The Courtyard, 40 Danbury Street, N1 8JU (020 7454 1234).

linn-space-optimisation

Join our Linn Space Optimisation Masterclass

According to one of our favourite audio equipment manufacturers, Linn, “Every room has its own particular sound”. For example, your sitting room might be narrow with particularly high ceilings while your generously sized dining room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows. These two examples give you an indication of how the acoustics of each room can differ wildly. Even flooring and furniture can make a difference to how you hear music in your home. So, if you think that investing in high-end audio equipment is all that’s required to enjoy great sound, think again – or better still, think Linn. Today’s Linn Space Optimisation Masterclass aims to help you “design your home the way you want to and experience the true sound of the music”.  Because Linn’s design team knows that different people appreciate various types of properties, Space Optimisation can help music lovers get the best out of all kinds of homes from a detached new-build house to a Georgian flat. With Linn Space Optimisation, the word “Space” actually stands for “Speaker Placement and Custom Environment”. While this might sound a bit of a mouthful, it actually makes a whole lot of sense when you realise just how much your living environment can affect the true sound of music. Banish distortion “Distortion” is often a dirty word when used in conjunction with “music”. Distortion alters the original shape and/or characteristics of waveforms and it’s, therefore, a major cause of frustration for sound engineers, recording artists, Hi-Fi manufacturers, and listeners. Luckily, Linn’s design team knows a lot about distortion, including how to remove it. And, as the brand also knows how to make world-class music systems, it makes perfect sense for you to take advantage of its Speaker Placement and Custom Environment Optimisation software. In fact, all of Linn’s systems now come with this technology built-in, and even DS owners can harness its power via a free software upgrade. How Linn Space Optimisation works The joy of Linn Space Optimisation is that it can deliver a uniquely optimised performance however you’ve designed your room. It uses advanced acoustic modelling to compile a complete picture of how the unique characteristics of your room, your speakers, and their placement affect the sound that you hear. Consequently, the software is able to identify and reduce the effects of any frequencies that are causing artificial distortion, leaving you with a sound that’s truer to the original. No need to compromise Before this sophisticated technology was invented, you would have needed to place your speakers in optimal positions to enjoy the best results. Now, however, you can choose a more practical setup that suits both you and your room without having to compromise on sound quality. Space Optimisation+ This superb piece of software has been further advanced with the introduction of Linn Space Optimisation+ on Linn’s Exakt sound systems. Exakt systems are able to measure the response of every individual drive unit to optimise the sound with even more accuracy. Book an in-store demonstration If you’d like to know more about Space Optimisation, drop into our Essex or London stores to talk to our team of Linn specialists. You can even book a demonstration online today!

Vinyl or Download – Which Linn Player Suits You?

When it comes to fashion, home décor, music, and even technology, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of retro. In fact, some of the greatest inventions of all time have helped to inspire the very products we rely on today. For example, if Alexander Graham Bell had failed to make his groundbreaking telephone call to Mr. Watson, would we ever have got to experience the joys of the latest Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy smart-phone? When it comes down to music and technology, we’re not suggesting you throw your Blu-rays in the bin in favour of Betamax or donate your MP3 player to the nearest charity shop in place of a 1980’s ghetto blaster. Instead, we’re asking you to consider the benefits of today’s different music formats and how each one can take on a whole new dimension when listened to on a Linn DS system or Linn turntable. The key question is vinyl or download? Which format do you prefer? Vinyl lovers – Linn LP12 Are you a traditionalist when it comes to music? Perhaps you believe that classic albums like The Beatles’ “Revolver”, Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”, and Jim Hendrix’s “Electric Ladyland” lose their rawness and authenticity in digital format? If so, we’re not going to argue as many people agree with you. In fact, this recent Sky News article states that record album sales are expected to hit a twenty-year high this year, with figures already up 55% on last year. The main problem with listening to vinyl is that your dusty and antiquated record player isn’t likely to showcase your LPs and EPs in their best possible light. Plus, if the needle’s prone to skipping every time someone walks past your record player or it scratches your precious records, it’s definitely time to upgrade to a superior product. This is where the Linn Majik LP12 turntable literally comes into play. It’s considered THE turntable to own, and it delivers a premium audio performance at an unbeatable price. It comes with a choice of five solid wood plinths (Walnut, Rosenut, Oak, Cherry, and Black Ash); so, you needn’t worry about it looking out of place when sat alongside your record collection. Team it with Majik 140 Loudspeakers, the Majik-I Integrated Amplifier, and the Majik Kontrol Pre-Amplifier, and you’ll be all set for the best vinyl experience of your life! Digital fans – Linn DS players Do you hate being confined to your home when you want to listen to your favourite music on full blast? Did you do a happy dance when the Discman was first released? Does the thought of Spotify going out of business fill you with dread? Then, fear not – you’re obviously a member of Team Digital – the majority of who believe digital is far superior to vinyl. If you want to develop your appreciation of music and discover as many new and upcoming bands as possible, digital is the way forward. Thanks to the likes of Groove Shark, Spotify, and iTunes, you can explore an incredible range of genres and artists, often free-of-charge. If you come across a band or style of music that you particularly like, you can get instant recommendations for similar artists and genres. Plus, your ever-growing collection will be searchable, instantaneous, and always crackle-free. Linn DS players, including Akurate, Klimax, Majik, and Sneaky, are undoubtedly THE best digital music players in the world. Simply connect your player of choice to your home network, and you’ll instantly be able to enjoy all your downloads and CDs in studio quality. Furthermore, your appreciation of internet radio will shoot off the charts. Discover the world of Linn with Rococo Systems At the end of the day, whether you prefer vinyl or digital is a matter of personal taste. Regardless of which format you prefer, Rococo Systems can help you find the ultimate Linn system or turntable for your needs. So, make sure you drop into our London or Essex store to talk to one of our Linn specialists, telephone us, or complete our online enquiry form – you’ll find all the details on our Contact page.

Book a Linn Series 5 System Demonstration

If you missed our recent mailer inviting you to meet the dazzling Linn Series 5 System, don’t panic. You can still experience the outstanding sound quality and design of the Linn Series 5 System by booking a free, personal demonstration at either our London or Essex store now. The ultimate in sound and style, where both go hand in hand with the new Linn Series 5 System There are so many things that make the Linn Series 5 System THE sound system to take pride of place in your home. Its main selling point is Linn’s combination of high-end sound and customisable design. This means you no longer have to struggle to blend in ugly or bulky speakers with your sitting room colour scheme. Instead, you’ll want these top-of-the-range speakers to take centre stage as you can customise their look to ensure they perfectly complement your home. When you book your personal demonstration at either our Essex or London office, we’ll prove to you just how incredible the 520 and 530 series look and sound. Inside one of our dedicated Linn Suites, one of our experts will demonstrate the two sound systems to their full abilities. They’ll also be able to advise you on which of the two systems best suits your needs and, of course, they can talk you through the various design options available. 520 or 530? The 520 series features slightly smaller speakers than the 530 (224x892x218mm as opposed to 233x954x325mm). It’s also a fraction cheaper than its bigger sibling. Both systems feature a pair of active floor-standing speakers and an Akurate Exakt DSM hub. The 520 is a two-way system with a twenty-litre cabinet while the 530 is a three-way speaker system with a thirty-litre cabinet. The Akurate Exakt DSM allows you to stream digital music from any networked source and also includes turntable connections, as well as thirteen digital and analogue inputs. The Sound Linn’s groundbreaking use of Exakt technology means even the tiniest variation between drive units is automatically corrected to ensure a faultless performance. The Space Optimisation software builds an acoustic model of your listening environment and removes any unwanted distorting effects. The Look The unique fabric of the 5 Series means that you can create a system that looks just as good as it sounds. Linn Fabrik doesn’t compromise on sound quality; instead, it works alongside the Exakt technology to deliver a truly breathtaking performance every single time. Currently, there are ten fabric designs to choose from. There are five colour choices in the Linn Fabrik Collection, all of which are made from 100% Shetland wool, and five options in the Harris Tweed Hebrides range. Plus, the Timorous Beasties Collection will be available from 2016. You can also choose your own top plate and stand colours. Should you fancy a change further down the line, you’ll find that you can easily give your 5 Series a makeover as all Fabrik covers, tops and stands are available to purchase separately. Book your personal Linn Series 5 System Demo in Essex or London today! We can’t wait to introduce you to the 520 and 530 series. So, get in touch with our Essex office on 01277 890 888 or our London office on 020 7454 1234 today and book your personal demonstration with one of our Linn experts.
