The Linn Katan is a compact two-way bass reflex monitor loudspeaker designed for high-performance audio reproduction. It features a frequency response from 75Hz to 20kHz (+/-3dB) and requires a minimum amplifier power of 30 watts to perform optimally. The Katan is constructed with a 19mm soft-dome tweeter and a 160mm bass/midrange driver, ensuring an accurate and dynamic sound profile. Its impedance is rated at 8 ohms, and it has a sensitivity of 85 dB/W/m at 1 kHz, making it suitable for use with a variety of amplifiers although more power generally yields better results. The speakers are available in black, cherry, maple, or white finishes, while the matching stands add stability and aesthetic value. The Katan’s design allows for configurations such as bi-wiring, bi-amplification, and aktiv modes by changing the crossover board linked to the back of the unit. It has a compact size of 170mm x 340mm x 230mm and weighs 6 kg each. The price points for the Katan range from $945 to $995, depending on the finish, with the optional stands priced at $225.
