Linn Majik 6100 Six-Channel Power Amplifier

Six channels of Exakt amplification in a single, compact chassis. The Majik 6100 is the largest of the Majik multi-channel power amplifiers, providing enough channel count to actively drive a stereo pair of three-way loudspeakers — or any Linn Exakt system configuration that needs six independent amplifier channels — without a single additional box.

That is the point of the 6100: it closes the gap between what a Linn Exakt active system demands in amplifier channels and what fits realistically in a living room. A three-way active stereo pair needs six channels of amplification. The 6100 provides them from a single unit, a single power supply, and a single LINN link connection to a Linn DSM.

Six-Channel Active Drive

In a passive speaker system, the crossover sits inside the cabinet. It divides the signal between drive units using resistors, capacitors, and inductors — components that add phase shift and insertion loss, and that interact with the impedance of the driver in ways that cannot be fully corrected. Active crossovers, by contrast, divide the signal before amplification, at line level, in the digital domain. In a Linn Exakt system, that division happens in the DSM, with crossover parameters calculated specifically for the speaker model. Each amplifier channel then sees only the frequency band it is assigned to drive.

The result is cleaner, more dynamic bass, better integration between drivers, and substantially improved low-level resolution — the kind of fine detail in recorded music that a passive crossover typically obscures. With six channels available from a single Majik 6100, a three-way active stereo system is achievable without the complexity of multiple separate amplifiers.

For those who need more than six channels — for example, a three-way active stereo pair plus an additional driven subwoofer — the 6100 can be supplemented with a Majik 2100 or Majik 3100. Linn's LINN link architecture supports multiple amplifiers driven from a single DSM.

Who Is It For?

The Majik 6100 is the right choice for anyone building a Linn Exakt active system around three-way loudspeakers, or any other configuration requiring six channels of amplification in the most compact and straightforward form available within the Majik range. If your system needs more than six channels, other Majik amplifiers can be added alongside it.

Buying from Martin's Hi-Fi

Martin's Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968, and the Linn range has been part of what we do for years. We are still family-run — Ted Martin's daughter Elizabeth runs the business today — and we stock only brands we have heard properly and stand behind.

A six-channel active Exakt system is a significant undertaking, and one where the advice of an experienced Linn dealer matters — we are here to help you get the speaker, amplifier, and DSM combination right from the start.
