Linn Akurate Kontrol

Designed for music lovers, the Akurate Kontrol preamplifier
delivers compelling performance in stereo and can process and control
multi-channel sources, providing scope for system expansion to multi-channel in
the future.

Up to six stereo analogue sources can be connected,
including a turntable via the on-board MC / MM phono stage, for exceptional
audio performance.

The high quality DACs incorporated facilitate performance
from any digital source connected, including a DVD player, satellite receiver
or games console, through one of the six digital inputs.

The Akurate Kontrol pre-amplifier digitally processes all
major audio algorithms, including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS,
for multi-channel audio from stereo CD or multi-channel digital formats. The
Akurate Kontrol features a built-in Knekt Line Driver and Line Receiver for
full compatibility with a Linn Knekt multi-room audio system.

Available in black or silver finish, the Akurate Kontrol
pre-amplifier complements other components in the Akurate System.
