Kudos Active Operation

Our Titan series and ‘Super’ Cardea models are configured to allow simple by-passing of the internal crossover for active operation with leading electronics including Linn Exakt, Devialet Expert and Naim SNAXO crossovers. Active operation opens up a wider upgrade path and enables a variety of performance and personalisation enhancing capabilities.

DEVIALET

Devialet’s Expert audiophile system combines all of the key components of high-end playback (preamplifier, amplifier, DAC, streamer, phono stage) in one single, extremely thin box: just add source and speakers.

The system incorporates a raft of Devialet’s patented technologies, including SAM® (Speaker Active Matching) which enables the precise adaptation of the music signal to the specifications of your Kudos loudspeaker. This is made possible by the powerful digital signal processing (DSP) at the heart of each Devialet system that ensures you get the very best from your Kudos speakers.

LINN

Exakt is a ground-breaking new technology that has revolutionised the world of hi-fi. It delivers the most direct connection ever made between the listener and the artist, and turns a Kudos loudspeaker into an intelligent, connected, software upgradeable product.

 

Exakt enables a wide range of performance, and personalisation-enhancing capabilities in design, in manufacture and in-home. Sources of noise and distortion that exist in the traditional analogue hi-fi chain are eliminated so what is heard is a more faithful reproduction of the music as it was recorded.

The Linn Exaktbox can be software-configured to optimise performance for select Kudos loudspeaker models and amplifier combination, delivering all the benefits of Exakt technology.
