Overview
The LINUS14 is a four channel DSP networkable amplifier and comparator delivering 4x 3500 W of clean power in a light weight 19”/2U package. The 4 audio inputs are selectable from analog, AES3, LiNET digital audio network and are routable to any of the 4 outputs.
LINUS14 ENGINE – the class D-IC output stage topology delivers audiophile sonic accuracy with enormous headroom providing significant improvement of the system performance in dynamics and transparency.
LINUS CORE – the SHARC floating point DSP processor ensures tremendous processing power enabling the integration of sophisticated audio algorithms. The advanced signal processing includes IIR and phase linear DS-FIR filters for perfect linearity and superior sound performance as well as advanced look-ahead and frequency dependent limiters for increased system headroom and sonic fidelity under heavy use conditions.
LiNET – a robust, redundant audio transport solution that transmits digital audio over a shielded CAT5e cable. Up to 8 digital audio signals can be sent to each amplifier via LiNET, buffered and sent to the next unit via the LiNET link out for daisy chaining. The signal routing inside the LINUS14 can be done remotely or using the pushbuttons on the front panel.
COMPARATOR – the LINUS14 provides integrated feedback loop control for Sensor Controlled subwoofers. The unit has four sensor inputs connected to two 5-pin Neutrik XLR input. The comparator’s electronic circuit loop measures the voice coil movement and adjusts the amplifier driving voltage and/or current to correct any driver inaccuracy. It is a closed feedback-loop and therefore self-optimising system in which the driver confirms precisely the power it needs to produce the original audio signal. The key advantage is a very extended and controlled response. Any distortion produced by the driver or the enclosure is instantly corrected by the feedback.
LINUS Control – CODA’s intuitive system management software provides the user a fast and flexible graphical interface for everything from system configuration and tuning, to control and system monitoring. It is optimised for both Mac OS and Windows, including tablet and native interfaces.
