== '''Installation''' ==

We recommend that your 360 loudspeakers are unpacked, installed and adjusted by an authorised Linn retailer.
To get the best from your 360 loudspeakers, it is important that they are positioned and levelled correctly.

Please note, in order to achieve the very best from your 360's, some
adjustment may be required after positioning, levelling and connecting. See the Fine
adjustment section.



== '''Unpacking''' ==

'''IMPORTANT:'''
The 360 speakers are heavy; take great care when moving them. <br>
When unpacking, lifting or moving them, we recommend using two people to avoid personal injury.


*  Do not lift your speaker using the amplifier module, this will cause damage to your loudspeaker.

*  Do not lay the loudspeakers on their front face or the amplifier on the rear as this will damage the loudspeaker.

*  Do not lay the loudspeakers, in any orientation, without the transit bolts in place as this would risk damage to both the cabinet and the module isolation mounts.

*  We recommend that you retain the packaging in case you need to transport your loudspeaker(s) at a later date.

*  Loudspeakers are packed individually with a separate package containing both speaker stands.

*  Take care when unpacking to avoid damage to the cabinets and drive units.

*   Note the [[#Safety| important <u>Safety information</u> ]]on the Beryllium Dome Tweeter

::‘INT’ – Input feed from the speaker terminals. (If you don’t have a suitable line-level output).
::‘XLR’ – Input feed from the line-level XLR input. (Best sound quality option).  
:When using XLR you should ensure the bass amplifier gain is matched to your power amplifiers, <sup>'''1'''</sup>
