Linn
HEAR THE DIFFERENCE
Very few partnerships in high end audio last the length of time that Innovative has been a Linn dealer. We were among the first in the United States in the 1970’s when Elliot Fishkin first heard the legendary Linn Sondek LP12 turntable at an early CES trade show. With 50 years of partnership, Innovative is your best resource for Linn. We use and proudly display the modern Linn turntables, which are both like their predecessors, but also significantly more advanced in so many ways. If you are curious about the modern vinyl renaissance, it doesn’t take long to hear how fully a modern LP12 can connect you to the music you love. We also features Linn’s advanced, twenty-first century Linn DSM streaming products which offer greater flexibility than any other competing product.
Want a compact, high quality audio system? Look at what Linn and Innovative can offer you.
SONDEK LP12
The more musical information you retrieve from the source, the better the sound. Simply adding a Linn source to your system will make it sound better.
For vinyl lovers, the Sondek LP12 Transcription Turntable is still the pinnacle of record player design.

Whether you prefer an entry-level Majik LP12, the mid-tier Akurate LP12 that balances performance and value, a top-of-the-line Klimax LP12, or your own custom configuration —the possibilities are endless — we’re expert in helping you decide.

DSM NETWORK MUSIC PLAYERS
Information lost at the source is lost forever. No matter how good the amplifiers or loudspeakers that follow, you can't get back what has already been lost, so it’s essential you put the best source possible at the front of your system.

MAJIK 109
COMPACT PERFORMER
Close your eyes when you listen to these speakers and you'll think you’re listening to a floorstanding speaker.
Using technology derived from Linn’s reference loudspeakers, Majik 109 delivers a toe-tapping musical performance wherever you position them; on a bookshelf, wall or on the specially designed stands. A bass reflex port is hidden behind the 2K Driver Array, providing a deep and musical bass without the need for a large cabinet. The port is front-firing, which means you can position the speakers close to a wall without compromising bass extension. Higher levels of performance can be easily achieved with a range of upgrade options, from simple bi-wiring through to a fully Aktiv configuration within an Exakt system.
MAJIK 140
STEP INTO SERIOUS HI-FI
A full-range yet compact floorstanding speaker, Majik 140 will bring your music to life without dominating your room.
High frequency precision and wide dispersion are provided by the 2K Driver Array featured across the Majik range, while separate bass and mid drivers ensure musical accuracy at lower frequencies.
Majik 140 provides great value straight out of the box, as well as offering higher levels of performance through a range of upgrade options, from simple bi-wiring through to a fully Aktiv configuration within an Exakt system.
360 EXAKT
Audibly Invisible. Visibly Remarkable.
360 is audibly invisible. It produces a performance with unprecedented clarity and realism, that’s entirely absent of sonic coloration. Incorporating innovative drive unit and amplifier technologies, 360 turns out Linn’s lowest ever levels of audible distortion. The honed curves of its cabinet are partnered with meticulously matched drive units to deliver the cleanest possible dispersion characteristics. All that is experienced is sound-stage; with vocals suspended in space, and true-to-life scale and depth leaving you utterly devoid of the sense you are listening to a pair of stereo speakers.
360 is visibly remarkable. Its curvaceous cabinet, intricately machined trim, and range of dynamic finishes combine to present an overall aesthetic that is familiar, yet with ultra- modern flair and contemporary class.
