Het topmodel surround voorversterker van Linn, de Linn Kisto.
http://www.jackvandijk.nl/stereo/images/linn_kisto_front.jpg
Een geweldig muzikale voorvoorversterker. Kan met alle surroundformaten overweg. Geweldig flexibel apparaat, zo kunnen bijvoorbeeld de stereo ingangen wanneer nodig als 5.1 analoge ingangen geconfigureerd worden. Op die manier kan je over 3 x 5.1 analoge ingangen beschikken en dus ook gebruik maken van de high resolution audio formaten.
Kisto is Linn’s finest System Controller with advanced circuitry developed from that used in Linn’s flagship stereo pre-amplifiers meaning performance is assured.
The intelligent Kisto System Controller will simplify even the most complex systems, integrating all audio and video sources with screens, projection, lighting and automation. Kisto can be programmed to switch on your projector, drop the screen, dim the lights, start the movie and even turn on the popcorn maker, all from the touch of one button.
With the Kisto System Controller at the heart of your home entertainment system, controlling your system is simple. Partner Kisto with Linn’s latest Kinik control interface and you can operate your system wirelessly from your Pocket PC. The simplicity of this rich graphical touchscreen interface helps you to access and control your audio and video sources from the comfort of your armchair.
Kisto gives outstanding audio performance from stereo or surround-sound music, making the most of your CD collection and bringing you the benefit of improved sound quality from high-resolution formats such as Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio.
Supporting stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 processing, Kinos is also the perfect solution for the finest home-theatre systems. It precisely decodes and processes a comprehensive range of surround-sound formats, including Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, AAC Surround, MPEG Surround, DTS Surround, DTS 96/24, DTS CD, DTS ES Matrix and Discrete and DTS Neo:6.
Kisto supports both PAL and NTSC and Composite, Component (YPbPr), RGB and S-Video.
When Kisto is used with Linn’s Unidisk multi-format disc players, an RS232 link can be used to enable automatic pre-selection of the most appropriate decoding algorithm or analogue channels, determined by the disk type being played.
Kisto features balanced audio inputs and outputs for the optimum connection to the rest of your system. Using balanced audio connectors and cables in your system helps to remove unwanted current and noise, keeping the signal clean and giving the highest possible sound quality.
Concealed beneath a door on the front of Kisto is a range of inputs to allow you to quickly connect infrequently used sources such as a video camera to view content through your system.
Kisto also benefits from ‘silent power’ delivered by a Linn Switch Mode Power Supply. Where conventional power supplies operate through the standard audio bandwidth, Linn high-frequency Switch Mode Power Supplies instead convert power at frequencies well outside the audio bandwidth ensuring the audio signal is unaffected by this conversion and all you hear is the music.
Like all Linn pre-amplifiers, Kisto incorporates features Knekt technology which means you can also enjoy music throughout your home as part of a Linn Knekt multi-room system.
For the most involving music and movie experience in your home, Kisto is the perfect partner for Linn’s Unidisk 1.1 multi-format disc player and integrated Aktiv Klimax loudspeaker system.
