Linn has officially released its new 343 loudspeaker model to the global market. The high-end audio unit comes in two versions, featuring sophisticated driver arrangements and unique cabinet materials.
Why it matters
The cabinet utilizes a continuous form to minimize diffraction effects while the down-firing driver arrangement uses the floor as a boundary to enhance bass energy. This design approach aims to optimize acoustic performance within home environments.
The 343 model features an 8-inch bass driver and a 6-inch upper bass driver, with low-frequency drivers handling 70% of the acoustic workload. The cabinet is constructed from a glass-fibre-reinforced moulding compound with a three-point spring isolation system.
