Linn Stereo Power Out Cartridge
£855.00 inc. VAT
The Linn Stereo Power Out Cartridge adds powered stereo output capability to a compatible Linn Selekt DSM configuration, allowing Selekt DSM to directly drive suitable passive loudspeakers as part of a correctly specified system.
- Powered stereo output cartridge for Linn Selekt DSM
- Provides left and right amplified output channels
- Designed for compatible passive loudspeaker systems
- Requires 1 × compatible DAC module
- Part of Linn’s configurable Selekt DSM architecture
- Specialist configuration advice available from Rococo Systems
Compatibility: Linn specifies that the Stereo Power Out Cartridge requires one DAC module. Rococo Systems can confirm the correct cartridge, DAC and loudspeaker configuration before ordering.
Your product details will be included with the order request. We will confirm availability and the final specification before taking payment.
The Linn Stereo Power Out Cartridge provides amplified stereo output within Linn’s configurable Selekt DSM platform.
Designed for systems using passive loudspeakers, it combines left and right powered output channels within one Selekt DSM cartridge and operates alongside one compatible stereo DAC module.
Selekt DSM modular amplification
Powered stereo output from Selekt DSM
Selekt DSM can be configured around the way a system needs to operate rather than following one fixed internal architecture.
The Linn Stereo Power Out Cartridge provides amplified output for a pair of compatible passive loudspeakers, allowing the Selekt DSM to act as both the source and amplification centre of the system.
One cartridge handles conventional left and right stereo channels and works with one compatible stereo DAC module.
Stereo amplification
Provides powered left and right output channels from one Selekt DSM cartridge.
Passive loudspeakers
Designed for Selekt DSM configurations where compatible passive loudspeakers are driven directly from the DSM.
Choose your DAC level
Partner the cartridge with a compatible Stereo Standard, Stereo Katalyst or Stereo Organik DAC according to the level of performance required.
Build Selekt around the system
Choose the cartridge and DAC together
The Stereo Power Out Cartridge is one part of a complete Selekt DSM configuration. Its role is to provide powered stereo output, while the corresponding DAC module handles digital-to-analogue conversion for those channels.
Stereo Standard, Stereo Katalyst and Stereo Organik DAC modules provide three different performance routes within the Selekt DSM platform, making it possible to configure the system around both your current requirements and future ambitions.
Rococo Systems can assess your existing Selekt DSM, loudspeakers and wider system before recommending the most appropriate cartridge and DAC combination.
For simpler passive speaker systems
Source, control and amplification in one component
A Stereo Power Out Cartridge configuration is particularly useful when you want Selekt DSM to remain at the heart of a clean, relatively simple system.
Rather than adding a separate external stereo power amplifier, the required amplification sits within the Selekt DSM itself, allowing suitable passive loudspeakers to connect directly to the configured DSM.
This creates a compact system architecture while still retaining the flexibility of Selekt DSM for streaming, connected sources, room optimisation and future upgrades.

Product overview
Compatibility
What is included?
The £855 price covers one Linn Stereo Power Out Cartridge.
Does it include a DAC module?
No. The Stereo Power Out Cartridge is combined with one compatible stereo DAC module as part of the wider Selekt DSM configuration.
Which DAC should I choose?
The cartridge can be configured with Stereo Standard, Stereo Katalyst or Stereo Organik DAC. The right option depends on the wider system, required performance level and how far you want to take the Selekt DSM platform.
Rococo Systems can recommend the most appropriate DAC rather than simply defaulting to the highest specification.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Linn Stereo Power Out Cartridge do?
It provides amplified stereo output from Selekt DSM so compatible passive loudspeakers can be driven directly from the configured DSM.
How many channels does it provide?
It provides two powered channels for conventional left and right stereo operation.
Do I need a separate power amplifier?
Not for the channels driven by the Stereo Power Out Cartridge. Amplification is provided within the Selekt DSM configuration itself.
Does it require a DAC?
Yes. One compatible stereo DAC module is required for the cartridge.
Can I use Organik DAC?
Yes. Stereo Organik DAC can be paired with the Stereo Power Out Cartridge for the highest-performance stereo DAC configuration within Selekt DSM.
Can I use Katalyst or Standard DAC instead?
Yes. Stereo Katalyst and Stereo Standard DAC modules are also compatible, allowing the system to be configured at different performance and budget levels.
Is this the same as the Stereo Line Out Cartridge?
No. The Stereo Power Out Cartridge includes amplification for compatible passive loudspeakers. The Stereo Line Out Cartridge provides line-level output for systems using separate external amplification.
Which option is better, Power Out or Line Out?
That depends on the architecture of the wider system. Power Out is ideal when Selekt DSM will directly drive passive loudspeakers. Line Out is the more appropriate route when you want to use separate external power amplification.
Can Rococo Systems configure it for me?
Yes. Rococo Systems can assess your Selekt DSM, loudspeakers and existing system before confirming the appropriate cartridge, DAC and amplification configuration.
