Linea Research

Class D amplification and loudspeaker DSP are Linea Research’s entire output, designed and manufactured in the UK by the team whose earlier work includes the BSS Soundweb and Omnidrive processor ranges.

The range splits into two amplifier families. M Series touring amplifiers include the 48M3, 48M6 and 44M10; C Series installation amplifiers run from the 44C6 through the 44C10 and 44C20 to the 88C20. Most models come in standard and Dante-networked versions: the Dante variants keep audio transport and loudspeaker processing in one box for networked installs and touring racks, while the standard versions deliver the same amplification for analogue systems without the network card. Alongside the amplifiers sit the ASC48 system processor, offered with and without Dante, the NSC24 networked system controller and the MC rack kit for M Series and C Series chassis.

Speccing comes down to channel count and load matching across the racks, plus whether the wider system is on a Dante network. Talk our engineers through the design before committing, and ask about trade accounts if you are buying as an integrator or production company.
