| |
| − | | |
| − | We recommend that your Akubarik loudspeakers are unpacked, installed and adjusted by
| |
| − | an authorised Linn retailer.
| |
| − | To get the best from your Akubarik loudspeakers, it is important that they are
| |
| − | positioned and levelled correctly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please note, in order to achieve the very best from your Akubarik, some
| |
| − | adjustment may be required after positioning, levelling and connecting. See the Fine
| |
| − | adjustment section.

| − | '''IMPORTANT:'''
| |
| − | The Akubariks 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 Akubarik 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 holing 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
| |
| − | | |
| − | Leaving the top end cap on (to protect the loudspeaker) turn the Akubarik upside down.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remove the bottom end caps to allow the stand to be fitted (see below).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once the stand has been fitted, carefully rotate speaker onto the stand. Lift the loudspeaker out of the top end-cap and remove its protective bag.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Leave the packaging between the amplifier module and the cabinet and the 3-K Array cover in place until the loudspeakers have been moved to their final position.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once you have positioned the loudspeakers, remove the two packaging pieces between the amplifier and the cabinet and VERY CAREFULLY snip the plastic tie holding the 3-K Array cover in place and remove it.

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | On a clean, level surface that will not damage the loudspeaker; carefully stand the speaker upside-down without laying it on its front or rear face.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remove the five bolts holding the transit plinth in place using a 13mm socket spanner.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remove the transit plinth and retain with the packaging in case you need to transport your loudspeaker(s) in the future.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Position the speaker stand above the speaker as shown above and attach using the 5 bolts removed in step 2.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''IMPORTANT:'''
| |
| − | Take care not to over tighten the bolts.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Once your Akubariks are correctly positioned, levelled and connected, some
| |
| − | tuning of the sound may benefit the performance.
| |
| − | The acoustics of a room are dependent on many factors including size, shape, contents
| |
| − | and textures. The information below will assist in helping you to achieve optimum sound
| |
| − | from your loudspeakers in any setting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Akubariks are provided with two adjustment switches on the back panel. The
| |
| − | factory settings will provide the best performance in the majority of room settings,
| |
| − | however if a room's acoustics are found to be a little bright or perhaps a bit bass-heavy,
| |
| − | these switches allow certain parameters to be fine-tuned, in order to allow the
| |
| − | loudspeaker performance to match the room acoustics more closely.
