Description
Additional information

The Linn Stereo Hybrid Cartridge adds a flexible combination of powered and line-level output capability to Linn’s configurable Selekt DSM platform.

It is designed for systems where different parts of the audio chain require different amplification approaches, allowing one Selekt DSM configuration to combine internally powered channels with line-level output for external amplification.

Flexible Selekt DSM amplification

Combine powered and line-level output in one system

Selekt DSM is designed to be configured around the architecture of the system rather than forcing every installation into the same layout.

The Linn Stereo Hybrid Cartridge is ideal where one part of the system needs amplification from within Selekt DSM while another part is better served by external amplification.

This gives Rococo Systems greater flexibility when designing a Selekt system around existing equipment, future upgrades or more complex loudspeaker arrangements.

Hybrid output

Combines powered and line-level output capability within one compatible Selekt DSM cartridge.

Flexible system design

Useful where part of the system is driven directly from Selekt DSM and another section uses external amplification.

Requires one DAC

The cartridge works with one compatible stereo DAC module selected according to the required performance level.

Configure the amplification path

Useful for mixed amplification systems

The Stereo Hybrid Cartridge sits between the simpler Power Out and Line Out configurations.

A Stereo Power Out Cartridge is the natural choice when Selekt DSM will directly power suitable passive loudspeakers. A Stereo Line Out Cartridge is better suited where amplification is handled entirely by separate power amplifiers.

The Stereo Hybrid Cartridge is designed for systems that need both approaches within the same Selekt DSM configuration.

This can be particularly useful when developing an existing system rather than replacing every component at once.

Choose the right DAC level

Partner the cartridge with the appropriate stereo DAC

The Stereo Hybrid Cartridge operates with one compatible stereo DAC module.

Stereo Standard, Stereo Katalyst and Stereo Organik DAC options provide different performance routes within Selekt DSM, allowing the digital conversion stage to be matched to the ambition of the wider system.

Rococo Systems can recommend the most appropriate DAC and cartridge combination based on the connected loudspeakers, amplification, room and future upgrade plans.

Selekt DSM configuration advice

Build the right hybrid Selekt configuration

Rococo Systems can assess your existing or planned system and confirm whether the Stereo Hybrid Cartridge is the right route for your Selekt DSM.

What is included?

The £660 price covers one Linn Stereo Hybrid Cartridge.

Does it include a DAC module?

No. The cartridge is paired with one compatible stereo DAC module as part of the wider Selekt DSM configuration.

When should I choose the Hybrid Cartridge?

The Hybrid Cartridge is most useful when your Selekt DSM system needs a combination of internally powered output and line-level output for external amplification.

If your system only needs direct amplification for passive loudspeakers, a Stereo Power Out Cartridge may be more appropriate. If all amplification sits outside Selekt DSM, a Stereo Line Out Cartridge is usually the cleaner route.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Linn Stereo Hybrid Cartridge do?

It combines powered and line-level stereo output capability within a compatible Selekt DSM configuration.

How many channels does it provide?

It is a stereo cartridge, providing two audio channels within the configured Selekt DSM.

Does it include amplification?

Yes, part of its role is to provide powered output while also supporting line-level output within the same hybrid configuration.

Does it require a DAC?

Yes. One compatible stereo DAC module is required.

Which DAC can I use?

The cartridge can be partnered with Stereo Standard, Stereo Katalyst or Stereo Organik DAC depending on the required performance level.

How is it different from the Stereo Power Out Cartridge?

The Power Out Cartridge is intended for systems where Selekt DSM directly provides stereo amplification. The Hybrid Cartridge adds line-level output capability alongside powered output, making it more flexible for mixed amplification systems.

How is it different from the Stereo Line Out Cartridge?

The Stereo Line Out Cartridge provides line-level output for external amplification. The Hybrid Cartridge combines that concept with powered output within the same cartridge configuration.

Can Rococo Systems advise on the correct setup?

Yes. Rococo Systems can assess the amplification, loudspeakers and existing Selekt DSM configuration before recommending the most appropriate cartridge and DAC combination.
