Praise for '˜sound' engineering work

Premium audio manufacturer, Linn, has teamed up with Hutchinson Group, including the services of Hutchinson Engineering and H360 Design, to source bespoke base and stand components for the recently-launched 530 speaker, part of the new Linn Series 5 range of music systems.

The Hutchinson Group completed work on the components for the speakers which, along with an Akurate Exakt DSM network music player, comprise a complete high-end audio system retailing at approximately £12,000.

Linn is world-renowned for its precision engineered products with exemplary build quality, and this led them to seek consultation from industry leaders the Hutchinson Group – the ‘engineering solutions provider’ – to assist with the manufacture of the speaker stand.

“We worked closely with Ian Ferguson and the team at H360 to perfect the design for the base of the speaker for the 530 System,” said Linn product design engineer Iain Redley.

“The team were phenomenal and aided greatly with the design and engineering of bespoke components of the base and stand.

“H360 were an obvious choice for tailor-made engineering design services. We found the team to be incredibly professional and their services to be of the highest standards – which is a perfect match for us as we only offer our customers the very best.”

Ian Ferguson, design engineer at H360 explained: “We were approached by Iain earlier this year after a meeting a few years ago regarding a different product.

“Iain and the team at Linn then flew over to Northern Ireland where we collaborated on the solidworks design and came up with the best possible way of supplying Linn’s design.

“The approach to design and engineering is incredibly different to many of the more functional projects we would undertake, however, the outcome has reinforced our capabilities as an industry-leading solutions provider across the board.”
