Short for ‘infra-red repeater’ A device which takes the electrical remote signal from the remote socket found
at the back of many Linn products and converts it to infra-red light which can then be used to control
products as if a remote control was aimed at them. Commonly used to control non-Linn products in a Knekt
system.
Isobarik
A Linn loudspeaker - Introduced 1973, discontinued 1992. Our top of the range speaker for some time. Two
versions were available - PMS and DMS.
The ‘Isobarik system’ is an aspect of the speaker design - patented by Linn - an ‘equal pressure’ system
whereby, behind the visible speaker is another speaker mounted and connected in parallel - both are in a
sealed compartment within the Speaker. With this system, the front speaker works as if in a much bigger
enclosure. The name was derived from the word ‘Isobar’ – used in weather forecasting etc.
