Back in the early 1990s, before streaming, Sonos and Spotify were ever thought of, Linn gave Knekt to the world. If you were wealthy enough, you could have high quality music in as many rooms of your house, or cabins on your yacht, that your heart desired.
In each room you will have a wall mounted RCU (Room Control Unit) which allows you to control the system. Audio can be distributed from your main hi-fi system or a Kivor or Akurate music server, or you can listen local sources, e.g. a television in each room.
Whilst the cabling in a Knekt system looks like standard CAT5 computer network cable, the termination is different – Knekt pre-dates the CAT5e specification so Linn used their own wiring standard.
Knekt was discontinued in 2011 but at Hidden Systems we have the experience and expertise to maintain, repair or upgrade your Knekt system. Where system components have failed Hidden Systems we can provide repairs or reprogram recycled components to keep systems running. We can also replace older components with newer products, adding streaming, internet radio, Apple Airplay and various other technologies that didn’t exist when Knekt was invented.
