Klimax Solo 500 Mono Amplifier

Breaking away from conventional amplifier designs, Linn abandoned the bulk and inefficiency of traditional amps when creating the compact monoblock Klimax Solo 500. Over two decades of refinement have kept it as a standout choice.

The Solo 500 features a discrete bipolar design, combined with Linn's Dynamik switch-mode power supply, delivering 500 W of effortless power across the entire audible range.

For a stereo setup, use a pair of Solos. Add more to multi-amp your speakers or upgrade to a fully Aktiv or Exakt configuration with the Klimax Exaktbox.

Chakra Technology
Patented amplifier technology combines the speed and precision of a monolithic chip with the robustness and smoothness of bi-polar transistors. Chakra adapts dynamically, using the monolithic at lower currents and switching to bi-polar transistors at higher levels. This unique approach ensures clean, precisely controlled, silent power at all listening levels.

Powered by Linn Dynamik
For decades, we’ve crafted our own switch-mode power supplies to generate stable, low-noise power in a compact, cool-running package. This electrical purity is crucial to amplifier performance. Dynamik isolates the amp from mains-borne noise, delivering formidable power and responsiveness, clearly outclassing bulky, traditional power supplies.

Sound Sense
Linn power amplifiers are designed to be efficient even when not in use. Auto signal-sensing detects the presence of an audio signal, reducing power consumption by switching to sleep mode when inactive. Fault detection and protection mechanisms guard your system against short circuits and excessive load damage.
