Installation

We recommend that your Series 5 loudspeakers are unpacked, installed and adjusted by an authorised Linn retailer. To get the best from your Series 5 loudspeakers, it is important that they are positioned and levelled correctly.


As this is an Exakt speaker, the initial setup must be performed with a Local Area Network that has Internet access. Otherwise, Konfig cannot set the speaker channel and Space Optimisation of these products

Unpacking

IMPORTANT: The Series-5 speakers are heavy; take great care when moving them.
When unpacking, lifting or moving them, we recommend using two people to avoid personal injury.


link=‎
  • Do not lift your Series 5 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.
  • 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.




Move the (boxed) loudspeaker to an uncluttered, flat area adjacent to its eventual position (this will avoid any excessive moving and carrying of unpacked loudspeakers).

Stand the loudspeaker box on its base.

Remove the plastic clips holding the box together (four from the base and one from the sleeve).

Remove the cardboard sleeve by lifting it straight up until it clears the top of the cabinet

Place soft material on the floor to protect the loudspeaker and turn the 530 speaker upside down.

Remove the bottom end caps to allow the spikes to be fitted (see below).

530-Spikes.jpg


Once the spikes have been fitted, carefully rotate the speaker onto the stand. ALWAYS LIFT BY THE METAL BASE NOT BY THE GLASS PANEL

Remove the transit screw from the power module. [[image:Series5 Transit screw.jpg|centre|400px |link=]

Fitting fabrics

For a video of what to do check: www.linn.co.uk/guide

Series-5-fabric1.jpg
  • Lift the cardboard former from the fabric, taking care to clear the array trim
  • Position the array trim to the bottom of the speaker drive unit and pivot on to the speaker and clip in.
  • HOLD THE FABRIC IN PLACE around the speaker drive units whilst pulling the fabric over the speaker.



Series-5-fabric4.jpg
  • Draw down the fabric down and attach to the Velcro on the lower section of the speaker
  • Fully close the zip
  • On the top of the speaker, press the fabric into the corners and fit the top plate

Removing the fabric

Finding Fabrik number

Fabrik px440.jpg

Setting up your Linn DS system in Konfig will ask for the Fabrik number of your 520/530 speaker.
This can be found on the inside of the zip of the Fabrik cover

Example: Harris Tweed - FABRIK4


The complete Linn Fabrik range is available to view on the Linn website








Repacking products

The reverse of unpacking making sure the following has been actioned:

  • Remove and pack Glass lid
  • Remove and pack Fabrik into a shipping box
  • Remove the Spikes and Anti-tilt bars
  • Refit Transit screw to speaker and tighten to a maximum of 0.5Nm
  • Re-bag in protection bag
  • Fit Velcro packing band around the middle of the speaker
  • Re-box


Due to their size, we advise that the 530 speakers are shipped on a pallet/skid

Positioning

As with any stereo loudspeaker, there are some fundamental principles which should be observed to get the best sound from your loudspeakers.

  • The loudspeakers should be placed at an equal distance from the wall behind the loudspeakers.
  • The speakers should be a similar (not the same) distance from the walls to the outside of each loudspeaker.
  • Any toe-in applied should be the same for each loudspeaker.
  • The loudspeakers should be level with all four spikes in contact with the floor. Use Linn Skeets for hard floors.
