About

LinnDAR

Read full description

LinnDAR is a standalone utility app designed to make setting up a room for Linn Space Optimisation quick, easy, and accurate. Using the LiDAR scanner and camera on compatible iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models, the app captures room dimensions and architectural features for use in the Space Optimisation room-design workflow. It provides a quick alternative to measuring and modelling a listening room manually, helping you create an accurate representation of the space for Space Optimisation on a Linn DSM network music player. Please note: LinnDAR is a setup utility compatible only with LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models from 2020 onwards.
