It maintains absolutely stable output voltage; providing our products with relentlessly optimised, pure power regardless of current demand, or where you are in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing intelligent Valley Switching, Power Factor Correction, and with precision regulated and isolated power rails – these power supplies are our cleanest and best yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe superior performance of Dynamik presented enduring value for Linn customers old and new – it is the single most successful upgrade campaign that we have ever carried out, and we are still taking orders to this day. Utopik, however, comprehensively wrests the crown of power from Dynamik; it’s better in every conceivable way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKlimax DS (all models)\u003cbr\u003eKlimax DSM (all models)\u003cbr\u003eKlimax Renew DS\u003cbr\u003eKlimax System Hub (all models)\u003cbr\u003eSelekt DSM (all models)\u003cbr\u003eAkurate DS (all models)\u003cbr\u003eAkurate DSM (all models)\u003cbr\u003eAkurate Exaktbox-6 and -10\u003cbr\u003eAkurate Kontrol (all models)\u003cbr\u003eAkurate CD\u003cbr\u003eKustom DSM Z4 and Z8\u003cbr\u003eMajik DS (all models)\u003cbr\u003eUnidisk (all models)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePower is nothing without control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple feedback loops measure output versus input in each stage of the power supply, and persistently filter out mains-borne noise and 50Hz hum, even at extreme volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sophisticated control mechanism at Utopik’s heart is optimised for handling between 90-250Hz mains supply, ensuring that it performs perfectly anywhere in\u003cbr\u003ethe world without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtopik is electrically cleaner, and more efficient at higher power than any power supply we’ve ever made. Of course, this is better for the environment and saves on your electricity bill, but efficiency is also a reliable measure of how well a power supply is performing – as energy isn’t being lost as heat or noise. If you improve efficiency, you improve electrical cleanliness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIntelligent Valley Switching\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtopik is an extremely sophisticated switch-mode power supply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a sub-optimal switch mode power supply, you have no control over where in the input voltage waveform the switch turns off or on. It would switch anywhere, and randomised noise is generated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Utopik however, we monitor oscillation at the transformer’s input, and look out for the lowest troughsin the voltage – a technique named Valley Switching. Utopik only throws the switch when at the floor of one of these valleys. With intelligent monitoring and control, we’re therefore keeping voltage as close to the ideal 0V when switching, resulting in dramatically reduced switching noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePower Factor Correction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch-mode power supplies are common in modern technology. When in operation, each one of these is intermittently taking short gulps of current from the mains – acute spikes in current draw – which introduces mains-borne noise that affects other products on the grid by producing harmonics in the supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtopik modifies its current draw to be proportional to the voltage, and spreads it out over the length of the AC waveform. Instead of taking short gulps, the current draw is spread out to be more consistent over the length of the waveform. This is called Power Factor Correction – and by implementing it in Utopik, we can ensure that the product it’s powering isn’t introducing any distortion to the mains supply in the room, the building, and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Factor Correction is yet another technology in the power supply chain that regulates voltage and ensures that no ripples get through to the output stage of the product as a whole. We’re therefore delivering the cleanest possible power to the rest of the chain. Utopik presents a consistent 400V output – anywhere in the world – regardless of mains supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecision-regulated Rails\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtopik has separate layers of precise regulation on its four power rails. Each has its own feedback loop, so that it is separately controlled, managed and isolated. This improves isolation between the relatively noisy digital power rail – with processors sporadically computing packets of data – and the analogue rails which feed components more sensitive to power fluctuations. Whatever the current demand of any aspect of the whole product, the remaining rails are unflinching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Linn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44616539308074,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9645\/9818\/files\/linn-utopik-power-supply.webp?v=1784910738","url":"https:\/\/gc-hifi.com.au\/products\/linn-utopik-power-supply","provider":"GC Hifi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
