Klimax 350 Loudspeakers

Klimax SystemThe Klimax system combines Klimax Exakt DSM and Klimax Exakt 350 speakers via an Exakt Link for the most direct connection ever made between you and the artist.

Klimax Exakt 350 takes integrated Aktiv to the next level — now the source is in the speaker. Fed by a single digital input, the on-board digital crossover in each Klimax Exakt 350 delivers six independently controllable channels, each with its own volume control, DAC and power amplifier.

Exakt technology enables us to completely eliminate magnitude and phase distortion, correct for drive unit variation, and optimise your speakers for your room.

  • Intelligent, integrated Aktiv, 6-way floor-standing loudspeakers
  • Connects to Klimax Exakt DSM via Exakt Link
  • Can be daisy-chained to additional Exakt speakers
  • Digital crossovers eliminate phase and magnitude distortion
  • On-board Exakt Engine corrects for drive unit variation, guaranteeing perfect performance from every speaker
  • Space Optimisation+ combines your speakers’ drive unit response data with your unique room characteristics and speaker placement to optimise performance for your listening environment
  • Independent digital volume control, digital to analogue converter and power amplifier for every channel (six per speaker)
  • Linn-designed 3K Driver Array serves the mid to high frequencies, for wider dispersion, precise high frequency response and single-point source accuracy
  • Aktiv Servo-Driven Bass system for more accurate, musical bass
  • High-performance integrated Chakra power amplification with Dynamik power supplies
  • Advanced pressure-formed natural laminate cabinets provide an exceptionally rigid construction with ultra-low resonance properties
  • Plasma-cut ‘armour-grade’ steel plate loudspeaker stand provides rock-solid stability
